Subject:Amending Family Stress Center to provide Receiving Center services
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
foster care. By providing time for family assessment, the centers reduce the number of
disruptive placements to which a child is subjected.
This amendment extends the contract by two months with a payment increase of $33,400 to
a new contract payment limit of $233,400 for Family Stress Center to continue providing
receiving center services. (19-206-3)
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
CHILDREN'S 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.
