Agenda Item
Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on an American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Subrecipient Agreement with Bluebonnet Trails Community Services to provide Child Welfare Court Care Coordinators to support the judiciary process in CPS cases.
Background
On September 17, 2024, the Commissioners Court approved a Legal Assistant II for the County Attorney's office and approved contracting with Bluebonnet Trails Community Services for two contracted licensed care coordinators.  The Child Welfare Court Care Coordinators will work with the County Attorney's office, attorneys, CASA, judges, and CPS caseworkers to assist in coordinating court-ordered treatment and providing updates on the status of youth and families involved in the CPS system.  These staff members will support the judiciary process, help improve efficiency and reduce reset hearing dates, during the time that the State of Texas is working toward privatizing parts of the CPS system.  The agreement has been reviewed by legal and the audit's office.
