THE HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND THE CRISIS INTERVENTION AND SUPPORT DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTIONS.
This action supports the Board's Value of "Approaching human services collaboratively and compassionately, with special emphasis on the most vulnerable" and the Goals to "Deliver evidence-based services to the public, and connect customers and their family members, to sustainable support, with special emphasis on financial supports" and "Collaborate with public and private partners to find creative, equitable, and responsible solutions to systemic community problems. . ." Collaboration with, and funding from, FNCAC facilitates the delivery of direct services to child victims of sexual violence and abuse.
The FNCAC notified NJCC of the License Plate and Voluntary Contribution Program award of non-competitive grant funding, on October 26, 2018. The final version of the Agreement was received from the funder on December 27, 2018. Services have yet to be provided, as the funding will be awarded upon execution of the contract.
Section 320.08058, Florida Statutes, provides for the Stop Child Abuse License Plates to incur a special annual fee of $25 which is distributed to the Children's Home Society of Florida and the FNCACs. Since 2010, FNCAC has distributed their portion of the funds to accredited Children's Advocacy Centers, such as the NJCC.
The performance measures include reporting on the type of prevention or intervention services provided and the number of children receiving those services. The measures are to be reported bi-annually.
The Agreement is in the FNCAC's format and has been reviewed and approved as to form by the Office of the County Attorney. FNCAC will sign last following Board approval. |
