The Title IV-E training shall be facilitated by the Contractor, and is available to eligible resource families, more commonly referred to as foster parents and families, upon request by Social Services. Chabot-Las Positas does not conduct training, however, many of the local trainings are provided through their subcontract with Redwood Community Services. This training is required to abide by state legislation under the Welfare Institution Code’s Division 9, Part 4, Chapter 5, Article 2, Sections 16519.5 - 16519.7, which detail the responsibility of Child Welfare Services to ensure the increased expectations and knowledge required of resource families, staff, and community partners are satisfactory under the Resource Family Approval Program. The services provided by Chabot-Las Positas under this agreement help Social Services utilize essential Federal funding.
In May of 2021, Social Services issued an RFP for these services and Chabot-Las Positas was the only entity to submit a proposal. Furthermore, they are one of only a few colleges in the State that are capable of fulfilling this Contract.
