Subject:Amend Contract with The Tides Center
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The primary purpose of the Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence Encourage Arrest and Enforcement of Protection
Orders Project is to develop and strengthen effective responses to violence against women. The goals and objectives
of the Project are: 1) Strengthened support and advocacy for domestic violence (DV) victims. 2) Enhanced law
enforcement response to DV. 3) Standardized risk assessment protocol.
Contra Costa County has established a successful Family Justice Center (FJC) which is partially funded by
Community Defined Solutions (CDS). The governance structure for the FJC is a neutral fiscal sponsor. Fiscal
sponsorship will provide the greatest long term sustainability and sound structure for a multiple agency endeavor such
as the Family Justice Center. The Tides Center (www.tides.org) has been selected as the neutral third party fiscal
sponsor.
Contra Costa County is contracting with Tides, as County’s fiscal sponsor for the FJC portion of the CDS grant.
Contra Costa County will remain the steward of these funds, overseeing and reimbursing Tides for expenses they
incur consistent with this budget.
The FJC is a multi-service center co-locating multiple agencies serving victims of domestic violence, sexual assault,
child and elder abuse and, human trafficking.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Employment and Human Services Department will be unable to continue these important services.
