Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve renewal Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) ADHS14-053682, Maternal, Infant & Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV), between the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) and Cochise Health & Social Services (CHSS) in the amount of $90,000 for the period October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015.
Background:
In February 2013 ADHS MIECHV held a collaboration meeting in Cochise County to review the size and scope and reach of home visiting programs in the area. Supervisors and workers from 6 different agencies and programs attended this meeting and provided ADHS MIECHV with input regarding the needs of families with young children and the ability of current home visiting programs to meet these needs. (Collaborative agencies/programs include: Cochise Health & Social Services, UofA Cooperative Extension, Easter Seals Blake Foundation, Child & Family Resources, Inc., Fort Huachuca Parent Support Program and Child Parent Centers of AZ)
In March 2013, the supervisors of those same 6 programs gathered together on their own to discuss streamlining our referral processes and addressing duplication of services, in order to make sure all eligible families in Cochise County could access home visiting services. This group, self-named “Cochise Home Visiting Collaboration” has met monthly since then and made progress in both referral process and duplication of service and have added other issues including training for home visitors and improving the working relationships with Child Protective Services and Behavioral Health services.
In April 2013, ADHS MIECHV offered to fund our collaboration. A Scope of Services was drawn up and a staffing plan was created to provide 50% time in direct service providing outreach and recruitment and 50% time as coordinator of the collaboration, including running meetings, providing community marketing to raise awareness of availability of home visiting services and planning/scheduling training for home visiting staff. CHSS decided to subcontract the majority of this work to Child & Family Resources, Inc. (CFR) as they have a contract with First Things First in Graham/Greenlee counties to supervise the coordination of the home visiting collaboration. Thus CFR will be able to “co-supervise” both coordinator positions, which will enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of both collaborations.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Your approvals are respectfully requested.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Without approval of this funding, the Cochise Home Visiting Collaboration will be limited in the scope of improvements in referral and service coordination, and worker training, that will be able to be made to the matrix of home visiting services provided to over 750 families in Cochise County.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
A fully executed original will be sent to the Clerk of the Board.
