Federal Challenge Grant -2- August 12, 1987
July 7, 1987 Board Order from the Social Service Department.
However, FACT' s recommendation on the use of the Federal Challenge
Grant was not included because the Social Service Department Director
had questions about the. recommendation to use this money for a
directory and the most efficient and cost effective way of obtaining
a directory.
FACT based their decision on the following criteria:
1. There is no readily available existing resource guide for
parents in crisis, line workers in the field, etc. , and Bay Area
Information and Retrieval System (BAIRS) is a computerized
service which is used through libraries and not readily
accessible to the individual family.
2. There had been much support for a previous Directory which FACT
believed should be updated through use of Federal Challenge
Grant funds.
FACT planned to recommend allocation of the balance of the Federal
Challenge Grant at a later date.
The Social Service Department is administratively responsible for
Children' s Trust Fund programs and expenditure of funds. With
respect to the Social Service Department' s administrative respons-
ibility, the Social Service Department Director supports FACT' s
recommendation of a directory being developed by the Child Abuse
Prevention Council for utilization by families at risk, but
recommends further exploration of coordination with the BAIRS system
for present and future updates of a resource directory. Further, the
Social Service Department Director recommends that FACT explore the
use of remaining and future Federal Challenge Grant funds be used for
provision of direct legally mandated services.
