The contract will be for the period May 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999, for the amount of$216,000. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Program costs have been included in the SSD budget at 50%Federal, 50% County shared ratio. We expect that Federal and any required County share of cost in this system will be offset by both reductions in numbers of children being placed into long-term foster care or more costly levels of care, and an increase in family reunification. The County's share of cost for this center will be made available through unanticipated Family Preservation revenue, CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: The Children's Receiving Center supports three of Contra Costa County's community outcomes: "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School," "Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood," and"Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing." When it is necessary to remove a child from his/her home, the Receiving Center provides a safe, child friendly place in the community which helps prevent disruption in school, and it provides services which meet basic needs for food, clothing, shelter and medical/mental health care. Additionally, by assisting workers in assessing a child's need for out-of-home care and available resources for children, and by providing time for family assessment, the Center helps (continued on next page) CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: YES SIGNATURE: ,r^' F RECOMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE APPROVE OTHER SIGNATURE(S): Zyel�z ACTION OF BOARD ON--- € 1. 9- .8i APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER VOTE OF SUPERVISORS I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A TRUE UNANIMOUS(ASSENT-- �; AND CORRECT COPY OF AN ACTION TAKEN AYES: NOES: AND ENTERED ON THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD ABSENT: ABSTAIN; OF SUPERVISORS ON THE DATE SHOWN. cc: Contact: Danna Fabella 313-1583 MAY 19 1998 SOCIAL SERVICE (CONTRACTS UNIT) ATTESTED PHIL BATCHELOR,CLERK OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR SUPERVISORS AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR AUDITOR-CONTROLLER CONTRACTOR M382 (10188) BY ,DEPUTY reduce the number of disruptive placements a child is subjected to, in favor of placement with a safe, stable, nurturing family. Expected program outcomes are: increase in the number of children who can be safely returned to their families or placed with relatives without going to emergency foster care, reduction in the number of out-of-home placements a child experiences, and reduction in the length of time a child spends in foster care. 3ACI tsitD fND/SUMMARY• The Social Service Department Children's Services program has made numerous changes over the past several years in an effort to improve protective services, reunify children with their families sooner, and increase permanency planning opportunities for children for whom reunification is not possible. As part of these efforts, the Department has been reorganizing its approach to meeting the needs of children who must be removed from their caretakers due to abuse; neglect, abandonment or exploitation. Our new"Emergency Care System" has three basic components which include receiving centers, dedicated short-term emergency group homes, and emergency foster homes. Last year, we established an initial receiving center in East County, through contract with Moss Beach Homes, Inc., and an initial dedicated group home in Central County, through Youth Homes, Inc. Ultimately, we would like to establish a receiving center and a dedicated group home in each of the county's three districts. We view the receiving center and short-term, dedicated group homes as essential components of our Children's Services Concurrent Plan Redesign. Specifically, in each part of'the county, the receiving center would provide a single point of reception/entry into the;shelter care system and offer support services for less than 24 hours, providing intervention counseling, food, clothing, bathing facilities and transportation for children when necessary. The ongoing assessment of out-of-home care placement needs and available resources for children would be a regular part of the services offered at the center. Currently, in West and Central County, children are"received" at police stations, at Social Service offices, at the scene of the incident, at schools, at medical facilities, etc. This often prevents thorough crisis counseling, placement option assessment and transition care for the child. The receiving center is a critical step toward improving these services. The service plan and budget of this second receiving center will be based on utilization levels and service outcomes from the pilot receiving center operated by Moss Beach Homes, Inc., in East County, Imani Facilities, Inc. will bring to the West County Receiving Center nearly $49,004 in donations of goods and in-kind services, bringing the total budget for establishing and operating the Center to $265,000. Proposed legislation, AB 695(Aroner--Contra Costa County), will provide ongoing State funding for receiving center operations in up to five California counties, TO: BOARD 4F SUPERVISORS ell `-�''�,� j�"`! r Jahn Cullen,Director FROM: Social Service Department �* ' ��' Costa GATE; April 24, 1998 .r County SUBJECT: APPROVAL AND AUTHORIZATION TO SIGN CONTRACT AMENDMENT (County#40-036-06)FOR OFFICE ON AGING'S HEALTH INSURANCE COUNSELING AND ADVOCACY PROGRAM SP;CIFIC RIEt1UT{8)f R Rwtm00 t��INV TIQ;(S)&BA�KC#RCUND;NO JUSTtF€ ATIt1N I.
