Committee approves amendment to Invest in Children contracts to expand infant and early childhood mental health funding
Summary
Cuyahoga County’s committee approved an amendment to master contracts for infant and early childhood mental health services, adding ADAMS Board funding and Invest in Children funds to raise the contract value and increase the target number of children served.
The committee approved Resolution 20250230, which authorizes an amendment to master contracts with providers delivering infant and early childhood mental health (IECMH) services through the Invest in Children program. Alyssa Swiatek of the Office of Early Childhood presented the amendment, which adds $700,000 from the ADAMS Board and $75,000 in Invest in Children funding to existing contracts.
Swiatek said the additional funding brings the total contract value (as stated in the record) to a higher level and raises the target number of Cuyahoga County children served to 769; staff said they expect to exceed that target. The department plans a competitive procurement in the coming months for contracts that would begin in January 2026 and will continue the joint funding relationship with the ADAMS Board.
The committee voted to approve the amendment for second reading.
