BACKGROUND: 

On July 21, 2020 the Board of County Commissioners authorized the Department of Family Services to accept a grant award from the State of Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Child and Family Services for the John H. Chafee Foster Care Independent Living Program for the Successful Transition to Adulthood in the amount of $828,836.00, effective July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021. 

This ratification to Amendment # 1 would allow the Department of Family Services to extend the current grant term through September 30, 2023 and reclassify the Family Services Assistant (C22) positions to Family Services Technician (C25) positions to remain competitive within the labor market.

Due to the urgent need to submit the signed Subaward Amendment # 1 for consideration, DFS was not able to submit for Board Approval prior to submitting document to the state.
