Summary of Request:
Santiago Simental DBA Alternatives to Violence, provides domestic violence treatment services to Family and Children’s Services clients as part of their voluntary or court-ordered case plans to support children safely remaining home with a parent or the reunification of children in foster care to their families. Mr. Simental provides anger management in group sessions, individual sessions, and for children and youth. Mr. Simental also provides partner/victim education designed to help the partner understand the core elements of the anger/domestic violence programs. Written progress reports are provided to the referring social worker every two months; these reports are used to update the court on the client’s progress.
Due to COVID-19, workload priorities have shifted daily to cover program operations, changing program operational needs, filling in for staffing gaps and reassessing services provided under contracts to determine what services are able to continue and in what manner to comply with Federal, State and Local requirements. This has taken time away from standard review of contracts and has necessitated additional time in contract preparation to plan for a variety of service needs and service delivery methods due to future uncertainty as to what may be permitted and when. This process necessitated a retroactive Agreement.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
