SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)B BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDED ACTION: APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to contract with The Nurture Company in the amount of$140,000 for services to the Welcome Home Baby Program, for the period from March 1, 2000 through June 30, 2000. FINANCIAL IMPACT: No County cost. The contract will be entirely supported by federal TANF incentive funds. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: This contract supports all five community outcomes established in the Children's Report Card: "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School"; "Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood"; "Families that are Economically Self-Sufficient"; "Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing"; and "Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families." Services under this contract will include hospital identification of first-time families, weekly home visits emphasizing infant bonding and nurturing child development, health education and medical care, and assistance with employment, housing,transportation and childcare. Research has shown that home visiting assistance after birth provides reductions in child abuse and neglect. BACKGROUND: The Board of Supervisors originally approved a contract on November 16, 1999 with Ms. Sherry Ruffini, the Program Director for the Welcome Home Baby Program,to offer prevention and early intervention service delivery strategies for families with children up to age three. The Nurture Company, a nonprofit public benefit corporation, was selected by EHSD to provide fiscal management, coordination, and implementation of the program. This will be coordinated with Early Head Start, a home-based outreach service for Head Start families and Newborn Connections, a volunteer home visiting program for new mothers who self-refer after birth. Ms. Rufini will continue to coordinate the development of this program with other County departments and community-based agencies. Welcome Horne Baby will use trained family support specialists and staff for early identification at hospitals, with services initially focused in the Monument Corridor. Program partners include EHSD, Health Services, Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, Mt. Diablo Adult Education, Interagency Council of Infant Services, Prenatal Care Guidance, Child Abuse Prevention Council and the Diablo Assistance League, among others. As additional revenue is identified and program experience gained, EHSD will begin the rollout of the Welcome Horne Baby Program to other areas of the county.
