Subject:Brighter Beginnings - Rehabilitation of Family Support Center
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
families and helping to build strong communities. The Richmond Family Support Center
provides services and activities that benefit low-income families in West County by linking
residents to health care, social supports and on-site services such as life skills and increasing
healthy behaviors. Programs include Black Infant Health, Teen Parent Support, Promoting
Advances in Paternal Accountability and Success, (PAPAS) and Brothers HIV Prevention
project. Thirty-six percent (36%) of clients served at the Center are Urban County residents.
On April 28, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved the County’s FY 2009/10 Action
Plan for the use of CDBG funds. Brighter Beginnings was allocated $25,000, under the
Infrastructure/Public Facility category, to replace the roof of the Family Support Center
(Center). In addition, Brighter Beginnings received CDBG funds from the City of
Richmond to make a number of accessibility improvements to the Center. Brighter
Beginnings has requested and staff recommends redirecting the County’s CDBG funds to
make upgrades to the building so it is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act
(“ADA”). The roof replacement part of the project will be done later in this year using
Richmond’s CDBG funds.
