Request by Harris County Resources for Children and Adults for approval to renew a service agreement with Our Community Our Kids (OCOK), in the amount of $20,000, on a Cost Reimbursement Basis, for Casey Life Skills Assessment and Life Skills Training completion for current foster youth in Region 3B (Ft. Worth Area) that are currently placed in Region 6 (Houston Area).

Background and Discussion:
This agreement is renewed annually. 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.
Alternative Options:
There are no other alternative options.
