RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the attached report on the Employment and Human Services Department’s Innovative Community Partnerships.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact; the report is informational only.

BACKGROUND:

On January 6, 2015 the Board of Supervisors referred oversight and receipt of updates on the Employment and Human Services Department's (EHSD) Innovative Community Partnerships to the Family and Human Services Committee (F&HS). On June 7, 2016, the Board approved expanding F&HS Referral No. 110 "Innovative Community Partnerships" to include the subject of Whole Family Services. This change was necessary to incorporate a major EHSD initiative, which refocuses client-facing benefit eligibility to assess the status and needs of the “whole family” while they are also determining benefit eligibility. Key to the new initiative is working with community partners to form a network of family resource centers in current place-based centers such as SIT (Service Integration Team) and SparkPoint sites, Family Justice Centers, First 5 centers, et al.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On June 26, 2017, the Family and Human Services Committee and Board of Supervisors received the most recent annual report on Innovative Community Partnerships.

The Family and Human Services Committee, on June 25, 2018 (Supervisor Gioia was absent), received the attached report on EHSD's Innovative Community Partnerships program and forwards this report to the Board for its information.
