RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Contra Costa Family Justice Alliance, a non-profit corporation of California, effective August 1, 2017 to increase the payment limit by $9,000 to a new payment limit of $159,000 for additional services to victims of interpersonal violence and their families for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract amendment increases Department expenditures by $9,000. County General Funds will cover 94% of the expenditure and 6% will be covered by Other Department sources (Certified Copies of Public Records).

BACKGROUND:

This contract is to ensure delivery of effective services for victims of interpersonal violence (domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse and maltreatment, elder abuse, and human trafficking) through a coordinated, client-centered, multidisciplinary service model. Contra Costa Family Justice Alliance (CCFJA) provides support and assistance to increase the safety and empowerment of families in Contra Costa County experiencing interpersonal violence and to coordinate access to multiple service providers and achieve specific measured outcomes. CCFJA organizes and coordinates community family justice workshops, coordinates a multi-disciplinary team, participates in the Alliance to End Abuse collaborative for evaluation, planning, and fundraising as well as assisting in developing aligned policies, practices, and protocols to service delivery for victims of human trafficking. This amendment increases the Contractor's research and reporting responsibilities.

The original contract in the amount of $150,000 was approved by the Board of Supervisors at its June 13, 2017 meeting (Item C.56). It was 100% funded with County General Funds.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Contra Costa County Alliance to End Abuse collaborative will have less documented data with which to address interpersonal violence in Contra Costa County and to enhance coordination of services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The services provided under this contract support all five of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes: (1) "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School"; (2) "Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood"; (3)"Families that are Economically Self-Sufficient"; (4) "Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing"; and (5)"Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families” by providing support and assistance with coordinating access to multiple service providers of crisis intervention, law enforcement, and long-term wellness programs.
