Subject:Authorize Issuance of Request for Proposal (RFP) 1135 for Promoting Safe and Stable Families
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
strengthen parental relationships and promote healthy marriages, to improve parenting skills and increase relationship
skills within the family to prevent child abuse and neglect, while also promoting timely family reunification when
children must be separated from their parents for the safety of the child. The PSSF funds are also to be used to remove
barriers which impede the process of adoption when children cannot be safely reunited with their families and to
address the unique issues adoptive families and children may face.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without the release of this funding, Promoting Safe and Stable Families services would not be contracted with
agencies and delivered to the children and families in Contra Costa County.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The contracts resulting from Request for Proposal #1135 will support all of the community outcomes established on
the Children's Report Card: 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 reducing the occurrence of child abuse and neglect, and providing support services to strengthen the
family unit.
