Summary

Leah asked the board to renew two major children-and-youth contracts (Wardell & Associates/FIX and Centre County Youth Service Bureau) for 07/01/2026–06/30/2027; commissioners voted to add the items to the August 11 consent agenda.

Leah, representing Children & Youth Services, asked commissioners to approve renewals of two contracts with local providers — Wardell & Associates (commonly referred to as FIX) and the Centre County Youth Service Bureau — for services that support in-home crisis intervention, foster-home recruitment, parenting programs and reunification services.

Leah said the contracts run from 07/01/2026 through 06/30/2027 and provide a mix of in-home supports, family services, evidence-based parenting programs and case-management linkages. Commissioners agreed these partnerships have helped reduce foster placements over two decades and moved to add both items to the board’s Aug. 11 consent agenda.
