Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action on approving a Funding Agreement to provide counseling for Family Recovery Court participants.

The Williamson County Family Recovery Court has received grant funding to promote reunification and strengthening of families involved in the Child Welfare Court System.  One strategy that we believe will support this goal is providing extended counseling and family support services to our participants.  To that end, we have worked with Purchasing, Legal and the Auditor's Office to develop the attached Funding Agreement with STARRY, Inc. to provide those services to our participants. STARRY is well-known and respected provider of counseling and family support services.  They are leaders in our community and are committed to the goals of the FRC; we are excited to partner with them in this effort.

The services are paid for by Office of Governor Grant Funding, and there is no General Fund budget impact for services rendered under this Funding Agreement.
