Adopt a Resolution:
|
|
|
A. Authorizing the President of the Board to execute a Three-Year Agreement with Youth and Family Enrichment Services (YFES) to provide temporary crisis residential services, crisis intervention/suicide prevention, emancipated foster youth outreach, aftercare services (THP-Plus), and services for homeless youth, for the term July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2013, in the amount of $4,127,667, $993,066 is Net County Cost; and

|
B. Authorizing the Director of the Human Services Agency or the Director’s designee 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 term and/or services so long as the modified term or services is/are within the current or revised fiscal provisions.
|
|
|
BACKGROUND:
|
In January 2010, the Human Services Agency (HSA) conducted a Request for Proposal (RFP) process (see attached Exhibit A, RFP Matrix) for temporary crisis residential services, crisis intervention/suicide prevention, emancipated foster youth outreach and aftercare services (THP-Plus), and services for homeless youth. YFES was selected based on the quality of programs identified in their proposal, and their extensive experience working with these populations.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
This Three-Year Agreement with YFES will provide the following services to families, emancipated foster youth, and vulnerable youth in San Mateo County. Your House South provides shelter for runaway youth, THP-Plus provides subsidized apartments and case management services for emancipated foster youth; the Crisis Hotline is a 24-hour telephone hotline that offers counseling for youth experiencing crisis; and the Daybreak Program offers temporary intervention and respite care for families in crisis.
|
|
|
The Contractor has assured compliance with the County’s Contractor Employee Jury Service Ordinance, as well as other contract provisions that are required by County ordinance and administrative memoranda, including but not limited to insurance, hold harmless, non-discrimination and equal benefits. County Counsel has reviewed and approved the Resolution and Agreement as to form and Risk Management has approved the Contractor’s insurance.
|
|
|
This Agreement contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 goal of a Prosperous Community by providing safe and stable housing, counseling, resource information, legal assistance and outreach to at-risk youth and families. As a result of the services provided for in this Agreement, it is expected that up to 75% of the youth with individual case plans who participate in the Daybreak Program will complete a job training program, or secure a high school equivalency degree. It is further anticipated that upon exiting Your House South residential services, 85% of youth will return home or be placed in a stable and supportive living environment. These expected outcomes reflect an increase in the percent of youth achieving successful outcomes from previous years.
