SBC FILE NUMBER: 130

The Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) has been working with Shared Vision Consulting over the past few years to write program plans for and provide technical assistance to the new State mandated Child Welfare programs that include the 5 year County Self Assessment, Peer Review, System Improvement Plan (SIP) with annual reports and plan updates, Family Approval Program (RFA), Continuum of Care Reform Initiatives (CCR) and Foster Parent Recruitment Retention and Supports (FPRRS). 

HHSA continues to use Shared Vision Consulting for training of staff in these new programs and will help to track and monitor program outcomes for reporting purposes.

Due to the on-going Social Worker Supervisor vacancies  there is a need for increased professional assistance with ongoing consultation and planning with management team and staff and on-going coaching, support and mentoring of social worker staff and induction training implementation for all staff.  This amendment will add an additional 1,562.5 hours of services.

The contract is for a three year term – July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2020.  The not to exceed amount for this fiscal year is $250,000 ($631,120 for the contract) and will be funded through HHSA CWS Federal and Local Realignment funds.  There is no effect on the County General Fund.  This contract is included in the HHSA budget for this fiscal year.

Approve and authorize the Chair to sign contract Amendment #2 for Shared Vision Consulting for Child Welfare Services in the amount of $250,000 for a total sum not to exceed $631,120.00
