BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Cope Family Center's mission is to help keep children safe from abuse and neglect and serve families experiencing a variety of difficulties. Under the current agreement, Cope provides parenting classes for parents of infants and toddlers, home visitor services, and emergency assistance/childcare services for families receiving family reunification services from the County.
The contract is being amended to reflect the increased Community Based Child Abuse Prevention (CBCAP) allocation, which allows the contractor to provide increased services. There is an additional $2,474 added to the contract maximum to reflect this increased allocation. Also, the amount of federal funding and Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) numbers have also been updated.
Cope Family Center is a local vendor.
