CHII.DREN'S IMPACT STATF,MF.N -.
Respite services 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." Respite services may be used during times of crisis when a caregiver needs to be away
from home or when parents or relative caregivers must pursue other activities that temporarily take them away
from children whose special needs require ongoing care.
BACKGROUND-
This contract will allow Family Support Services of the Bay Area(FSSBA) to continue respite services for
foster parents or relative caregivers of drug-exposed and medically fragile children with special needs between
the ages 0-5 years. The goal of the respite program under the State Heritage Project, Options for Recovery
Program, is to provide comprehensive, high quality in-home and out-of-home respite services to support the
relative caregivers and foster parents in their full-time role as caregivers. Although FSSBA supports foster
caregivers throughout Contra Costa, most of these caregivers with drug-exposed children are located primarily
in Richmond (West) and Pittsburg (East). Respite services are available 24-hours a day, seven days a week.
This Board Order will authorize Employment and Human Services to increase the payment limit by$12,000 and
continue services to Heritage participants.
