may be used during times of crisis when a caregiver needs to be away from home or when
parents or relative caregivers must pursue other activities that temporarily take them away from
children whose special needs require ongoing care.
BACKGROUND:
This contract amendment will allow Family Support Services of the Bay Area (FSSBA) to
continue respite services for foster parents or relative caregivers of drug-exposed and medically
fragile children with special needs between the ages 0-5 years. The goal of the respite program
under the State Heritage Project, Options for Recovery Program, is to provide comprehensive,
high quality in-home and out-of-home respite services to support the relative caregivers and
foster parents in their full-time role as caregivers. Although FSSBA supports foster caregivers
throughout Contra Costa, most of these caregivers with drug-exposed children are located
primarily in Richmond (West) and Pittsburg (East). Respite services are available 24-hours a
day, seven days a week. This Board Order will authorize Employment and Human Services to
increase the payment limit by$12,000 and continue services to Heritage participants. (21-004-
