Human Services requests payment to Welcome Project PA and presents contracts for youth residential services
Summary
Human Services asked the board to approve $1,800 to Welcome Project PA for a June 17 panel (county share $96.10) and requested contracts with Community Options for residential services and JPO agreements including a new 'Guided Path' program. Details on program locations and OCYF approvals were noted as pending.
Human Services presented several items for approval. Staff requested payment of $1,800 to Welcome Project PA for a moderated panel held June 17, 2025; the county's share of the cost was stated as $96.10. Welcome Project PA was described as a nonprofit based in Paverhill that provides educational resources for marginalized communities, including LGBTQIA populations.
The department also requested approval of a FY2024-25 CYS contract with Community Options. Staff said the county has not contracted with that agency previously but expects to place a young person with the provider; OCYF approval of FY25-26 fiscal packets remains pending, so the contract would be executed under the current year until packets are approved.
Human Services requested approval of a FY25-26 JPO contract with Outside In School of Experiential Education (Voyagers program) and described Guided Path as a new 4-bed residential program for boys 13 to 18 for complex youth that opened July 1; location for Guided Path was not specified in the transcript.
The transcript records the presentations and funding statements but does not include formal vote outcomes.
