RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with STAND! For Families Free of Violence, in an amount not to exceed $119,830, to provide case management, advocacy, and peer counseling services as part of the Contra Costa County Elder Abuse Prevention Project (EAPP) to victims of financial elder abuse, for the period July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is 100% federally funded through the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services County Victim Services (XC) Grant.

CFDA 16.575.

BACKGROUND:

The California Governor's 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 conditionally, requiring additional information from Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) Aging and Adult Services Bureau. This necessitated additional research, strategic planning, and coordination between EHSD, proposed contractors, and Cal OES. This process delayed the final unconditional grant award from Cal OES, however the grantor (Cal OES) confirms funding is available from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018. The Grant conditions require that the contracts funded by the Grant are for the term of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018.

This contract is for the provision of case management, advocacy, peer counseling services, and elder abuse prevention education as part of the Contra Costa County (County) Elder Abuse Prevention Project (EAPP). In partnership with the County's Adult Protective Services (APS), this contractor will participate in a multi-disciplinary team to increase communication with all partners of EAPP.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without this contract, case management, advocacy, and peer counseling services to victims of financial elder abuse, as a part of the County Elder Abuse Prevention Program, will be negatively impacted.
