CHILnRF,N'fi IMPACT STATEMENT-
Receiving centers support four of Contra Costa County's community outcomes: "Children Ready for and
Succeeding in School"; "Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood"; "Families
that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing"; and "Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for
Children and Families." Receiving centers provide a safe, child friendly place in the community for children
who have been removed from their homes. They help meet children's food, clothing, shelter, medical and
mental health care needs, while limiting disruption in school.
RACKGROUNDe
The Board most recently approved Employment and Human Services to contract with Imani Facilities, Inc.
on September 12, 2000 (c. 122). Imani Facilities has operated the Richmond Receiving Center since 1998,
one of three centers maintained by Employment and Human Services. The centers provide shelter, food,
toys, clothing, public health nurses and medical referrals as part of a continuum of care for children who
have been removed from their homes.
This contract will continue to help Employment and Human Services increase the number of children who
can safely return to their families or relatives without going to emergency foster care. By providing time for
family assessment, receiving centers reduce the number of disruptive placements to which a child is
subjected, while providing a safe, child-friendly environment for EHSD to assess children and their
placement options.
