RE: Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF)
Partnership Project Agreement
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 Department's Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF)
Partnership Project Agreement. Weld County entered into its first PSSF Partnership Project
Agreement with Catholic Charities and Community Services of the Archdiocese Denver Weld Regional
Office in April 2017, for six (6) months. The project was continued for a one-year term thereafter,
October 1, 2017 -September 30, 2018, and is now being continued for a third term, October 1, 2018 -
September 30, 2019. The project is a collaborative effort of Weld County and Catholic Charities to serve
at -risk families in Weld County through the provision of the early intervention services focused on
stabilizing and strengthening at -risk families thus ensuring the safety, well-being and permanency of
children. Services include Family Support Services through Catholic Charities case management/Family
Advocate staff and Kinship Support Services, which include Catholic Charities and Weld County each
facilitating one (1) monthly group (separate groups). Catholic Charities will also provide crisis
intervention services.
Reimbursement will continue to occur through PSSF funding awarded to Weld County through a PSSF
grant ($120,000.00) and/or available TANF funding. Weld County will reimburse Catholic Charities for
actual costs per month, not to exceed $70,000.00 for the term of this Agreement.
I do not recommend a Work Session. I recommend approval of this Agreement.
