Griego, Director, Human Services RE: Core Services Program Plan — First Year of a Three -Year Plan (SFY2019-20) Please review and indicate if you would like a work session prior to placing this item on the Board's agenda. Request Board Approval of the Departments' Core Services Program Plan — First Year of a Three -Year Plan, SFY 2019-20. The Core Services Program Plan has been developed in accordance with State Department of Human Services rules governing Core Services funding. This Plan is for year one of a three-year Core Plan cycle and is effective July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. The Department's allocation for year 2019-20 is $3,669,458.00, which is an increase of $343,651.00 over 2018-19. The distribution of the allocation is based upon prior years' data and anticipated usage, with the Core Plan strictly reflecting the allocation. The Department was previously approved for Program Area 3 (PA -3 Prevention and Intervention) and will not be submitting for any changes. The Department is submitting a Core II Plan which requests an additional $605,000.00. While additional funds are not currently available, the State has advised that it is best to have a Core II Plan on file should funds become available so that Weld County receives consideration. This year's Plan includes new County Designs for Kinship Consultation and Support, Mental Health Navigator Program, and Post Adoption Services. These County Designs allow for Weld County staff costs associated with these programs to be covered by Core Services funding, as part of the Department's efforts to resolve Child Welfare fiscal issues. Additionally, a new County Design is being submitted for a Nursc Consultation Program; a service provided through community partners. The Core Plan requires the signature of the Human Services Advisory Commission (HSAC) Chair, which serves as our Placement Alternatives Commission (PAC). If the proposed Core Services Program Plan is approved, the Plan will be administered in conformity with its provisions and the provisions of State Department rules. I do not recommend a Work Session. I recommend approval of this Plan. Sean P.
