§ 7319.1. Evaluation Criteria for Family Respite Care Program.
(A) Project proposes a new or expanded Family Respite Care Program to be funded by the Grant, describes the services within the Program, including but not limited to in-home and/or out-of-home respite care, as applicable to the Project, and clearly identifies the criteria for the Target Population(s) whose families are eligible for services. Target Population criteria shall include, but are not limited to, children's/youth age groups, diagnosis, etc. (Maximum 5 points)
(D) Project improves timely access to Family Respite Care. The Application shall address how access to Family Respite Care is expanded and improved for the community. Examples include: staff qualifications and hours of operation. Application describes services provided by the Program to families of Children and Youth receiving mental health services, outreach to families about availability of new or additional services and how cultural, linguistic, and other barriers unique to the community will be addressed. (Maximum 6 points)
(E) Project provides community-based services to families of Children and Youth receiving mental health services and the Application describes the building(s) in which the Program will be offered and the setting(s) in which the identified services will be provided to the families. (Maximum 5 points)
(2) Application demonstrates a clear plan for a continuum of care before, during, and after intervention or treatment and for collaboration and integration with other health systems, educational institutions, social services and law enforcement, and describes the referral process that will be utilized to connect families to Family Respite Care. (Maximum 15 points)
(A) Project fits in with the continuum of care as it presently exists in the community. The Application identifies the shortcomings that exist within the continuum, how the Program will improve the existing continuum of care for Children and Youth receiving mental health services and their families and how the Program supports other mental health crisis services available to Children and Youth, including whether Applicant contemplates submitting an application to the Mental Health Oversight and Accountability Commission or has been awarded funding for family support services and training. (Maximum 5 points)
(B) Application identifies working relationships with Related Supports that already exist and which will be established to enhance and expand community based collaboration designed to maximize access to Family Respite Care for the purpose of sustaining health and well-being of families of Children and Youth receiving mental health services. The existing working relationships shall be supported by letters from the Related Supports identifying the collaborative efforts amongst the agencies to enhance and expand services. (Maximum 10 points)
(vi) The value of the Program, such as mitigation of costs to the county, when Children and Youth are not placed in out-of-home care. An example of such value is: The utilization of Family Respite Care costs “X” dollars and utilization of out-of-home placement would have cost “X” dollars, therefore value approximates “X” dollars. (Maximum 1 point)
(ii) Necessary approvals and processes to complete the Project, and the names and roles of all responsible entities. This includes, but is not limited to, County Board of Supervisors' approval, Request for Proposals, architectural and construction contracts, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance, building permits, and conditional use permits, as applicable.

(This may include, but is not limited to: staffing criteria for designated supervisors and other personnel; staff recruitment, retention and training, family eligibility and needs assessment, screening and discharge procedures; relevant risk management policies; identification of service needs and coordination of these services on behalf of the family, if needed, and additional support services available as part of the Program, etc.) (Maximum 8 points)
