Prevention Planning Consultation ServicesThe County is seeking to implement the Family First Prevention Services Act by building a comprehensive, integrated prevention system that shifts focus from foster care placement to early, evidence-based services for children at risk and their families, including pregnant and parenting foster youth and kin caregivers. This initiative aims to expand the use of Title IV-E funding to support voluntary, preventive interventions that strengthen family stability and reduce reliance on foster care, requiring alignment with federal guidelines and California Department of Social Services requirements. The County is developing standardized processes for identifying eligible families, determining candidacy for services, documenting interventions, and claiming federal reimbursement, while also integrating existing programs with new requirements under CWS-CARES and braided funding strategies to maximize available resources. A key component includes designing Community Pathways that ensure equitable, accessible entry points to services and fostering collaboration among county departments and community providers. To support this complex transition, the County is contracting for expert technical consultation to guide the design and implementation of operational frameworks, including referral and intake systems, fiscal claiming methodologies, quality improvement structures, workforce development plans, and policy documentation. The consultant will provide strategic advice on compliance with evolving federal and state mandates, assist in building sustainable systems for long-term administration, and help ensure fidelity to evidence-based models. While the County retains full authority over policy and operational decisions, the consultant’s role is critical in bridging gaps in expertise, facilitating stakeholder engagement, developing tools and training resources, and aligning local efforts with statewide initiatives. The project is time-bound, with a specified proposal deadline, and seeks a qualified provider with deep knowledge of California’s child welfare infrastructure, Title IV-E Prevention requirements, and practical experience in implementing prevention systems at the county level.
