CHII,DREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT*
This contract supports the fourth community outcome: "Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing". This
contract provides interventions for families at-risk of becoming involved with the Child Welfare System.
BACKGROUND*
The Employment and Human Services Department, Children and Family Services (CFS) Bureau is
implementing Child Welfare Redesign to enhance current service delivery and improve outcomes for children
and families. The redesign plan includes providing early intervention services, developing community
partnerships, and increasing the number of foster families. The Department issued Request for Proposals #1081
in January 2005 in order to solicit interested organizations in providing case management services to families at-
risk of becoming involved with the Child Welfare System. A selection committee comprised of raters from
outside the County and within the Department selected The Perinatal Council to provide Path 1 case
management services in those areas of East County that historically have high numbers of child abuse referrals
(94509, 94565).
The community based case managers will receive referrals directly from the Children and Family Services
Bureau and will provide case management services to East County families, helping them secure needed
services, improve family functioning, enhance child well-being, and avoid further need for interaction with the
Department.
