Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve Amendment 1 to 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 10/01/14 – 09/30/15.
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 attended 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.
CHSS decided to subcontract the coordinator position to Child & Family Resources, Inc. (CFR) as they have a contract with First Things First in Graham/Greenlee counties to supervise the coordination of their home visiting collaboration. Thus CFR “co-supervises” both coordinator positions, enhancing 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:
Two originals sent to BOS for signature 2/9/15. A fully executed original will be sent to Clerk of the Board for filing purposes.
