RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Contra Costa Family Justice Alliance, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $123,912 to provide project, service, and training coordination, and integrated data system services as part of the Contra Costa County Elder Abuse Prevention Project for victims of financial elder abuse for the period September 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will increase budgeted expenditures by $123,912, which is funded 100% by Federal revenues through the California Office of Emergency Services County Victim Services (XC) Grant.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without this contract, increased training on elder abuse prevention and care management will be significantly hampered, delaying services and assistance to victims of financial elder abuse.

BACKGROUND:

The California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) awarded an extension to a previous two year County Victim Services (XC) Grant to fill victim services gaps and needs. The XC Grant extension was awarded to successful respondents from California counties and the City of Los Angeles, including Contra Costa County. Cal OES approved the XC Grant extension on June 21, 2018.

This contract is for the provision of project, service, and training coordination and integrated data system services as part of the Contra Costa County (County) Elder Abuse Prevention Program (EAPP). In partnership with the County's Adult Protective Service (APS), this contractor will participate in a multidisciplinary team to increase communication with all partners of EAPP.
