body
BACKGROUND
The Home Visiting Program (HVP) is an evidence-based, voluntary program to provide high-quality, evidence-based, and culturally competent home visiting services to support positive health, development, and well-being outcomes for pregnant and parenting women, families, and infants born into poverty. HVP aims to expand participant's educational, economic, and financial capability opportunities to improve the likelihood that they will exit poverty.
This Amendment increases the contract maximum by $13,353 for a new contract maximum of $244,254 for the term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, and each subsequent automatic renewal; replaces Exhibit A (Scope of Work) to reflect the increased allowable time families are able to participate in the program; and replaces Exhibit B (Compensation) to amend the budget table and reflect the increased contract maximum per participant per fiscal year.
Services proved under this agreement are fully funded through CalWORKs Home Visiting Initiative. Senate Bill 840 appropriated these funds and are issued through California Department of Social Services (CDSS).
Cope Family Center, Inc., a local vendor, was selected after a Formal Request for Proposal (RFP) has provided mandated evidence-based program services to Napa County CalWORKs families for seven years.
