EI NA CIAL IMPAC"t'• $96,000 CWS Direct Allocation(Title IV-B): 30% County($28,800); 70% State. CHILDREN'S IMPACT SIAIEMEN Dedicated group home services support four of the five Contra Costa County 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."Children placed in this dedicated group home receive short-term assessment and intensive residential and day treatment in a safe, structured environment. Meanwhile, Employment and Human Services and FamiliesFirst work toward longer-term placement in less restrictive settings or family reunification wherever possible. BACKGROUND: FamiliesFirst, Inc. operates the Rose Manning Youth Shelter, a six-bed, 24-hour coed residential treatment and assessment facility serving the entire county. The shelter offers intensive Residential Care Level 14 group home services for severely emotionally disturbed children in short-term placements, generally of 90 days or less. Children placed in the shelter receive a broad spectrum of intensive, individualized and group treatments for emotional and behavioral issues, which include addressing the effects of prior physical, emotional and sexual abuse. An ongrounds school and day treatment program meets the children's individualized educational needs. These local treatment and assessment services help to reduce out-of-county placements and facilitate family therapy for children for whom reunification is possible; they also allow Employment and Human Services to find the best possible long-term placement options for those wwho require ongoing-�esidential treatment. �a CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: YES SIGNATURE: � ,f y�COMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF HOARD COMMITTEE � � tISPROVE OTHER SIGNATURE(S): } i' ACTION OF BOAR: O � ' c APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER VOTE OF SUPERVISORS f: y: €HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A TRUE iJNANI.IOUS(ABSENT , f t4r I 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.

EINANCIAL IMPACT., $120,000: 100% County CHILDREN'S 112ACT STATEMENT, The Dedicated Shelter Group Home program supports three of Contra Costa County's community outcomes: "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". This contract will provide children with stable, high-quality residential treatment after entry into the Child Welfare System_, BACK!GR U-NID: This contract provides for two dedicated group homes(twelve beds)providing countywide shelter services at established Central County and East County sites. Both homes are dedicated to Employment and Human Services under this contract,providing 24-hour intake, a no-restriction admission policy and specialized staffing and services to accommodate children whose backgrounds may be unknown at time of placement. These 2 group homes are the primary shelter care facilities in Contra Costa County; they serve children with serious behavioral and emotional problems both when coming into the social services system for the first time, and when requiring emergency placement. They serve an essential function that no other county facility provides. Keeping children.in Contra Costa County in the least restrictive setting possible helps with visitation and reunification efforts. Additionally,without these dedicated beds more children would be placed in costlier,more restrictive facilities outside of Contra Costa County. EHSD also realizes some cost benefits through unproved caseworker access to children.
