This recognition from the state allows 4Cs to have a coordinated continuum of care payment program.
On June 25, 2024, this Board through Resolution No. 080543 waived the Request for Proposals (RFP) process and authorized an agreement with Child Care Coordinating Council of San Mateo, Inc. to administer Transitional Provider Subsidy and Cost of Care Plus Rate Payment for a term of May 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025, in an amount not to exceed $582,204, and authorized the Director of the Human Services Agency to execute contract amendments which modify the County's maximum fiscal obligation by no more than $25,000 (in aggregate), and/or modify the contract and/or services so long as the modified term or services is/ are within the current or revised fiscal provisions.
