Reason for Recommended Action/Background

The Wraparound program is a team approach to supporting children with serious mental health and behavior problems and their families. An individual plan is developed for each family based on their specific needs. The plan provides “wrapped around” services and supports for the child and family. Wraparound’s focus is on maintaining a child/youth in the home. If the youth is out of home, Wraparound works on transitioning them back to their home, resource-family, or independent living arrangement (as appropriate). An array of mental health services can be provided to a child/youth in a home-based setting, such as a resource family home, in the hopes of stabilizing the child and keeping him/her in their home, school and community. A child or youth must be a Child Welfare Services dependent of the court or a probation ward of the court to receive Wraparound services. Wraparound services are community based and will provide support twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, which includes after hours support for clients and/or families. These services are mandated by federal statute and court agreements signed by the state, and also align with the County’s commitment to keep children safe and healthy, at home, in school and in their communities. Most costly public services are when children are removed from their home and placed in residential care and/or hospitalized.

Authorizing delegated signing authority to the Procurement Manager will ensure that there is adequate time to finalize the contract and obtain signatures from all parties in time for an August 1, 2024 start date and prevent a lapse of these vital services. This Agreement has an initial term of August 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027 for a total contract amount of $2,165,033. The Agreement also includes 2 optional extensions for Fiscal Years 2027-28 and 2028-29.
