Agenda Item Text:
Approve IGA# ADHS16-118442, 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 $102,000 for the period October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2020.
Background:
ADHS MIECHV funds coordination services for a collaboration of maternal & child health home visiting programs in Cochise County. Supervisors and workers from six different agencies and programs attend these monthly meetings to discuss and plan for the needs of families with young children and the ability of current home visiting programs to meet these needs. Collaborating 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.
Collaboration efforts include: an informal referral process among all programs and addressing duplication of services, in order to make sure all eligible families in Cochise County can access home visiting services, training for home visiting staff and improving the working relationships with other community resources and systems that serve families including child protective services, behavioral health services and the justice system.
The Coordinator position, funded by ADHS MIECHV, performs many functions including running the monthly meetings, outreach and recruitment for all programs, providing community marketing to raise awareness of availability of home visiting services and the planning and scheduling of trainings for home visiting staff and families.
This formally extends the contract to 9/30/2020, which action should have been undertaken by ADHS last fall. All terms and conditions contained in Amendment #2 and previously approved by the BOS remain in full force and effect without modification.
