RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with National Council on Crime and Delinquency, a Non-Profit Corporation, effective September 30, 2016, increasing the payment limit by $9,550 to a new payment limit of $232,301 and to extend the term from September 30, 2016 to December 31, 2016 for the continued services of the Phase II Lethality Assessment Program Implementation for Domestic Violence Homicide Prevention and Services for Victims of Human Trafficking Project. (92% Federal, 8% State)

FISCAL IMPACT:

$232,301: $182,751 - 79% Federal, Department of Justice Grant, Office of Violence Against Women (CFDA #16.590); $29,550 - 13% Federal, Department of Justice Grant, Office of Victims of Crime (CFDA #16.320); $20,000 - 8% State, Assembly Bill 109.

BACKGROUND:

The Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence Initiative (ZTDVI) applied for and received funds from the US Department of Justice, Office on Violence against Women (OVW), Domestic Violence Homicide Prevention Demonstration ("Project") in 2013. The Project will be implemented in two phases - an assessment phase ("Phase I") and an implementation phase ("Phase II"). OVW completed Phase I in September 2014 and selected ZTDVI as one of four sites to participate in Phase II of the Project and implement the Lethality Assessment Program (LAP), a recognized promising practice. ZTDVI is engaging the Contractor to assist in carrying out activities consistent with the funding application.

ZTDVI also applied for and received funds from the US Department of Justice, Office of Victims of Crime (OVC), Services for Victims of Human Trafficking Program (“HT Project”). ZTDVI is engaging the Contractor to assist in carrying out activities consistent with the funding application. The primary purpose of the HT Project is to enhance the social service field’s response to victims of human trafficking as defined by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000 (22 U.S.C. § 7101 et. seq.) as amended.

The goals and objectives of the HT Project are: 1) To provide timely and high-quality comprehensive services for all victims of human trafficking; 2) To enhance interagency coordination in the provision of services to trafficking victims; and 3) To provide training to service providers and allied professionals within the targeted community to improve community collaboration and increase awareness of the needs and rights of trafficking victims and survivors.
