WHEREAS, Parent Support Outreach Program (PSOP) offers voluntary services to families with young children who have been reported to child protection due to family concerns that fall short of the criteria mandated investigation; and
WHEREAS, the voluntary services through PSOP have been shown to provide connection to needed community supports, including services for substance abuse and basic needs that could reduce future maltreatment reports; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That, unless the grant program requirements change, the Community Services Director is hereby authorized to amend the grant to alter the grant term, accept additional grant funds, and continue grant-funded full-time equivalents, consistent with County contracting policies, and inclusion of grant funds in future yearly recommended and adopted budgets, subject to approval by the County Attorney’s Office as to form; and
