SUBJECT: APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the issuance of a Social Service
Department Request For Proposal (#1046) for County Wide
Family Preservation Services.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)8 BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Social Service Director, or
designee, to issue Request for Proposal (RFP) #1046 for
County Wide Family Preservation Services. These services
will provide support to families in three service areas of:
* Intensive, in-home, family based intervention,
* Support of Kin who are caring for relative
children,
* Shared Family Care for families in North Richmond.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Program funding is projected at $1, 066,404, with 70% State
funding ($746,483) and 30% County funding ($319,921) . The
County cost is allocated 40% Probation cost and 60% Social
Service cost, as a reflection of case referrals from the
respective departments. It is hopeful that an additional
$40, 000 will be supplied by the Zellerbach Foundation for
the North Richmond Shared Family Care component. While the
State will not participate in the additional funding, it
would bring the complete funding package to $1, 106,404.
BACKGROUND:
Beginning in 1991, the Social Service Department has run an
intensive intervention program which has successfully
reduced both the State and County costs for Foster Care in
this county- by stabilizing the family settings and
preventing potential Foster Care cases from developing. The
State has now made the allocation for this program a fixed
amount in the CWS allocation to the county which requires a
30% local match.
