APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with STAND! For Families Free of Violence, a California non-profit public benefit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $317,125 to provide domestic violence support services to California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) participants for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.
