Subject:Contract with Aspiranet for Emergency Shelter Receiving Center
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The Receiving Center offers a homelike setting and is designed to promote stability in placement, focus on the needs
of the individual child, minimize move, and supports permanency at the early stages of EHSD intervention.
Contractor was selected through competitive bid, Request for Proposal (RFP) 1110.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Emergency shelter will not be available to temporarily care for children taken into protective custody. This will
increase the trauma to the child and limit resources available to EHSD staff in locating a placement for the child.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This contract supports all five community outcomes: 1) "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School"; 2)"Children
and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood"; 3)"Families that are Economically Self-Sufficient";
4)"Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing"; and 5) "Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of
Life for Children and Families” by providing a homelike environment for children entering the Child Welfare system.
