Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
August 1, 2017, Item 4(i), Resolution No. 17-107, Agreement No. 16-5028.
Summary of Request:
Since 2017, California Department of Social Services (CDSS) has provided counties with legal consultation and legal representation in administrative action appeals associated with the state mandated Resource Family Approval program. These services are provided at no cost to counties when a county has deemed it necessary to deny approval or rescind approval of a Resource Family from being a foster care provider.
On February 14, 2020, Mendocino County, Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), Family and Children’s Services (FCS) received a letter from CDSS requesting the execution of Agreement No. 19-5048 for legal services for fiscal years 19-20 and 20-21. HHSA therefore requests retroactive approval of the Agreement.
