RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Contra Costa Family Justice Alliance, a non-profit corporation, to increase the payment limit by $182,554 to a new payment limit of $362,554 and to extend the term from June 30, 2018 to a new term ending August 31, 2018, to provide project, service, and training coordination and integrated data system services as part of the Contra Costa County Elder Abuse Prevention Project to victims of financial elder abuse for the period July 1, 2016 through August 31, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment contract will increase budgeted expenditures by $182,554 to a new total of $362,554 funded 100% by Federal revenues through the California Office of Emergency Services County Victim Services (XC) Grant.

BACKGROUND:

The California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) awarded one time, two-year County Victim Services (XC) Grants to fill victim services gaps and needs. The XC Grant funds were awarded to successful respondents from California counties and the City of Los Angeles, including Contra Costa County. The Cal OES Grant was awarded to the County confirming funding is available from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018. The response from County residents to services provided through this Cal OES Grant has been greater than anticipated and demand for services is continually increasing.

County was notified that the Cal OES Grant was extended to August 31, 2018. This contract amendment will support the continuation and expansion of Contra Costa Family Justice Alliance's (Contractor) services as part of the Contra Costa County Elder Abuse Prevention Program (EAPP). The contractor will continue to provide project, service, and training coordination in multiple languages including Spanish, Thai, Korean and Lao; and integrated data system services to meet the funding requirements of the grant. In addition, the contractor partners with County's Adult Protective Service (APS) and participates in a multidisciplinary team to increase communication with all partners of EAPP and has served as the central access point for the wide variety of services funded under this grant.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without this contract amendment, overall coordination and expansion of the Grant project, services, and training or an integrated data system services will not be available, delaying services and assistance to victims of elder abuse.
