Information

Referral History:

As directed by the Public Protection Committee at their March 8, 2013 meeting, a Request for Proposals (RFPs) for the AB 109 Community Programs was issued on March 15, 2013 for the following: Planning for Reentry Resource Centers in the amount of $120,000 ($40k per region).
The proposal that was recommended for funding to the Board of Supervisors for the planning of a West County Reentry Resource Center was provided by “Further The Work (FTW).” A contract was awarded by the Board of Supervisors to FTW on May 21, 2013 in the amount of $40,000. The CAO’s office developed a contract with FTW, which was executed mid-June 2013. Further The Work conducted their extensive planning process on budget, on schedule and submitted the proposed plan to the County Administrator’s Office on January 27, 2014. The CCP recommended that the Public Protection Committee approve the Plan and recommend its adoption by the Board of Supervisors at its March 25, 2014 meeting.

Please note that the final plan for the West County Reentry Resource Center was distributed to the CCP at their Feb. 14, 2014 meeting in binder form. Subsequent to the CCP meeting on February 21, 2014, at which the Plans were presented and voted on by the CCP, an error was discovered with respect to the Sample Budget included in the document (Section 2.7: Budget, Pages 1-2). The Sample Budget mistakenly included the Fiscal Years of 14-15 and 15-16, rather than the intended years of 13-14 and 14-15.

The complete plan is available on the County’s website at: http://www.contracosta.ca.gov/index.aspx?nid=2366

Implementation of the plan, as proposed, will require the establishment of a Steering Committee, which includes two members of the CCP Executive Committee (one representing a public safety agency and one representing health/behavioral health agency), and the issuance by the County Administrator’s Office of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to identify a “host organization.”
