SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment &Human Services Interim Director, or designee, to execute a
contract with Neighborhood House of North Richmond in an amount not to exceed $130,000 to provide Child
Welfare Redesign Differential Response Program Path 2 Case Management for the period July 1, 2006, through
June 30, 2007.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No County Costs. $130,000; 100% State Child Welfare Redesign Differential Response Program Grant funds.
CHILDREN'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. Neighborhood House of North Richmond will serve
as lead agent for a collaborative effort among community-based organizations and a faith-based organization
that include Opportunity West, Asian Pacific Psychological Services, and All Nations Church of God in Christ.
A selection committee comprised of raters from outside the County and within the Department selected
Neighborhood House to provide Path 2 case management services in those areas of West County that
historically have high numbers of child abuse referrals (94801, 94804, 94806).
The community based case managers will receive referrals directly from the Children and Family Services
Bureau and will provide case management services to West County families, helping them secure needed
services, improve family functioning, enhance child well-being, and avoid further need for interaction with the
Department. (#21-095)
