REPORT
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended action, which will allow the Department to continue to contract with service providers for home visitation services in accordance with the California Department of Social Services' (CDSS) CalWORKs Home Visiting Program (HVP). The recommended amendments will allow the Department to add funding to extend the current agreements for two additional years. The cost of these services will be offset with CalWORKs HVP funds. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
Your Board may choose not to approve the recommended action; however, the Department will be unable to provide home visitation services to vulnerable CalWORKs families in accordance with the CalWORKs HVP, as the program would end.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. The maximum amount of the agreements ($13,870,499) will be offset using CalWORKs HVP funds. Sufficient appropriations and estimated revenues will be included in the FY 2020-21 Recommended Budget for the Department of Social Services, Org. 56...
