BACKGROUND:
On February 27, 2018, by Resolution No. 075752, this Board approved the County's System Improvement Plan ("SIP") and executed a Notice of Intent authorizing the Human Services Agency ("HSA") to administer the Child Abuse Prevention, Intervention and Treatment ("CAPIT"), Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention, and Promoting Safe and Stable Family funds. The SIP is an operational agreement between the County of San Mateo and the State of California outlining how the County will improve child welfare services and provide better outcomes affecting the lives of children, youth, and their families. The term of the SIP is from March 5, 2018 through March 23, 2023. The SIP, a component of the California Child and Family Services Review, mandated under Assembly Bill 636, identifies specific strategies related to child abuse prevention, which include the delivery of parent education and short-term clinical services.
On June 19, 2018 by Resolution No. 075963, this Board authorized an agreement with Family Connections for such child abuse prevention services for the term of July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 for a total amount not to exceed $150,000.
On May 14, 2019 by Resolution No. 076616 and on June 23, 2020 by Resolution No. 077506, this Board authorized amendments to the agreement with Family Connections to extend its term through July 1, 2021 and added $300,000 in funding for a revised total amount not to exceed $450,000.
