Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request for approval of a renewal option with Belong, division of SJRC Texas Life Skills Assessments and Life Skills Training for preparation for adult living of foster youth for Resources for Children and Adults for the period of December 15, 2026 - December 14, 2027, with revenue in the amount of $20,000, in connection with a service agreement.

Background and Discussion:
This will be the HAY Centers second grant agreement with Belong, a Division of SJRC Texas (SSCC). This grant agreement will allow us to fulfil a Department of Family Protective Services requirement of current foster youth completing assessments and life skills training before aging out of the foster care system. Once completing these requirements, the youth are eligible to receive a transitional living allowance.
Expected Impact:
This agreement will allow us to ensure current foster youth complete assessments and life skills training
before aging out of the foster care system. It will also allow HAY Center staff to assess the needs of transition
services so that the case management team can engage youth in wraparound services to start their transition
plan.
