$26,500: State Family Preservation Funds: 70% State; 30% County
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATFMFNT:
This contract supports all of the community outcomes established in the Children's Report Card: 1) "Children
Ready for and Succeeding in School"; 2) "Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive
Adulthood"; 3) "Families that are Economically Self Sufficient"; 4) "Families that are Safe, Stable and
Nurturing"; and 5) "Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families,"
by providing mentoring programs, after school care, and outreach and support programs.
BACKGROUND:
The Center for Human Development (CHD) is the fiscal agent for the North Richmond Collaborative, a group
of nonprofit agencies including Rubicon and Neighborhood House providing community-based services in
North Richmond under the Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) Program. Services under this contract
included after school care, mentoring programs, and job readiness training services.
All 2005-2006 PSSF contracts were processed and renewed in May 2005 at their existing funding level with the
assumption that Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) would get the same level of PSSF
allocation as last year. However, in late July, EHSD received notification that the county's PSSF allocation
would be reduced by 31%. Due to this unexpected reduction, EHSD had to make corresponding reductions to
the PSSF contracts. In determining what services would be eliminated or reduced, EHSD ensured that services
were streamlined and that there was no duplication of services.
This Board Order will authorize EHSD to reduce the CHD contract by$32,000 from $145,000 to $113,000.
Thankfully, this reduction does not adversely impact service delivery because only the job training program
component has been affected and EHSD has several contracts under the California Work Opportunity and
Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) and Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Programs that provide job-training
services in the North Richmond area.• (#21-304-22)
