BACKGROUND: |
On July 26, 2005 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution Number 067469 authorizing the Human Services Agency to administer the Child Abuse Prevention, Intervention and Treatment Program (CAPIT); Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention (CBCAP); and Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) by signing a Notice of Intent issued by CDSS. |
On October 12, 2007, HSA issued a RFP (see Exhibit A - RFP Matrix) for Child Abuse Prevention and Promoting Safe and Stable Families Programs. Agreements will be funded from: AB 2994 Birth Certificate fees, Kid’s Plate, CAPIT, CBCAP, and PSSF. |
In February, 2008, CCAT received and approved the RFP panel’s recommendations to enter into Agreements with 11 providers who had submitted proposals for funding, totaling $534,000 (see Exhibit B – Funding Recommendations). The delay on this item is a result of extended negotiations of Agreements under the RFP. |
On June 4, 2008, the CDSS issued an All County Information Notice (ACIN) announcing the integration of CAPIT, CBCAP and PSSF Three-Year Plan into the California Children and Family Services Review Process. Historically, the Office of Child Abuse Prevention (OCAP) has required a CAPIT/CBCAP/PSSF Three-Year Plan for counties to receive funding separate from the Children and Family Services Review Process. |
DISCUSSION: |
To achieve the integration as per the ACIN, CCAT has elected to extend the timeframe of the County’s CAPIT/CBCAP/PSSF plan until the next County Self Assessment/ System Improvement Plan cycle. On July 8, 2008, HSA in collaboration with CCAT submitted a Notice of Intent to extend the timeframe of the County’s existing plan and enter into contracts with 11 providers. The Board of Supervisors is being asked to acknowledge and accept the Notice of Intent as HSA had less then one month to comply with the ACIN and could not bring it to the Board prior to the submission deadline. |
CDSS responded to HSA by submitting a Notice of Intent to provide funding for CAPIT/CBCAP/PSSF plan contracts for the term of July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009. In order to receive the funding for CAPIT/CBCAP/PSSF plan contracts the Notice of Intent must be executed by the Board of Supervisors and returned to CDSS prior to September 30, 2008. County Counsel has reviewed and approved this Notice of Intent as to form. |
Additionally, the Board of Supervisors is being asked to approve CCAT’s RFP recommendations for distribution of funds for Child Abuse Prevention and Intervention Services. |
FISCAL IMPACT: |
The total obligation of these recommendations is $534,000 for FY 2008-09 funding cycle. Appropriations have been budgeted in the FY 2008-09 tentatively Adopted Budget. There is no Net County Cost. |
