SUMMARY OF SERVICES
ORGANIZATION: Exceptional Parents Unlimited, Inc
SERVICES: Neighborhood Resource Center / Differential Response
ADDRESS: 4440 N. First Street, Fresno, CA 93726
SERVICE ADDRESS: 1835 N. Winery Avenue, Fresno, CA 93703
TELEPHONE: (559) 492-3324

EMAIL: lens@epuchildren.org
A. SERVICE DESCRIPTION
EXCEPTIONAL PARENTS UNLIMITED, INC. (SUBRECIPENT) will provide child abuse
prevention and intervention services through a Neighborhood Resource Center (NRC) located
in the 93702 or 93703 zip code and serving the surrounding community. The essence of the
NRC is to use the protective factor approach in providing family strengthening services with the
goal of enhancing positive family function and preventing child abuse and neglect. The NRC
will promote parent resiliency, create social connections, provide support in times of need,
increase knowledge of parenting and child development, and encourage social and emotional
competence of children. Using a one-stop approach, SUBRECIPIENT will provide an array of
services and/or referrals to families and/or individuals to combat poverty, substance use/abuse,
and domestic violence while promoting positive parenting and lifelong nurturing skills, thus
interrupting the cycle of child abuse and neglect. SUBRECIPIENT will leverage its considerable
experience in these areas and will utilize its established community partners to broker services
and link families to needed resources.
SUBRECIPIENT will provide voluntary, home-based Differential Response (DR) services
designed to assist families in the prevention of child abuse and/or neglect. Families who have
come to the attention of Department of Social Services (DSS) Child Welfare Services (CWS)
staff but do not warrant further DSS intervention, or families who have completed the
reunification process and could benefit from DR will be referred to SUBRECIPIENT for voluntary
assessment and case management services. SUBRECIPIENT’s case managers will assess
families using the North Carolina Family Assessment Survey (NCFAS) and develop a case plan
based on the assessment. Case management services should average approximately 90 days
with a minimum of two monthly home visits although DR case managers have discretion to
maintain services for up to 6 months. DR case managers will work with families to achieve the
goals of their case plan and will document progress toward achievement of case plan goals
through completion of an intermediate and final NCFAS for each case managed family.
Exhibit A
Page 2 of 7
B. TARGET POPULATION
The NRC target population is any family that resides within the 93702/03 zip codes, however,
families outside 93702/03 can also access NRC services. Families may also be referred to the
NRC by DSS, other agencies or NRC providers, or by DR providers.
The DR target population includes families referred by DSS that reside in the 93702/03 zip
codes, however, families outside 93702/03 may also be referred by DSS.
C. STAFFING LEVELS
SUBRECIPIENT will maintain a sufficient level of qualified staff to effectively conduct all NRC
and DR activities, consistent with the Budget Narrative detailed in Exhibit B, herein. Staffing
must reflect the diverse cultural and linguistic characteristics of the population served, and all
staff must have experience in connecting with families from diverse backgrounds, identifying
family strengths, navigating social service systems for referral, and tracking client outcomes.
SUBRECIPIENT will be responsible for all training necessary to promote staff development
and/or effective service delivery. In addition, SUBRECIPIENT shall comply with any other
training required by DSS and shall also actively participate with other NRC/DR providers for the
purpose of reviewing current research and best practices, developing common tools, and
identifying strategies appropriate for the target population.
D. SUBRECIPIENT’s RESPONSIBILITIES
The NRC environment will be guided by the following:
• Services will increase protective factors, such as the development of community
connections, improved access to resources, reduced social isolation, improved social skills,
and family empowerment. Key principles include consumer involvement, public/private
partnership, community-building, and shared accountability;
• SUBRECIPIENT must demonstrate collaboration with other community agencies that are
key to the establishment of sufficient family support services and/or leveraging of
resources. In addition to these agencies, vendors are encouraged to seek support from
other child-serving entities;
• SUBRECIPIENT will maintain a community advisory forum consisting of parents, relative
caretakers, community members, and other interested parties who receive and provide
services at the NRC; and
• NRC services must be offered on a "walk-in" basis. Input on NRC services must be
obtained from a variety of individuals, including but not limited to community residents,
parents (consumers), relative caretakers, civic groups, and school personnel.
Required core NRC services include the provision of:
• Parenting skills training;
• Peer to peer supports (support groups, mentoring);
• Basic life skills and advocacy (e.g., anger management, mediation and conflict resolution,
Exhibit A
Page 3 of 7
communication skills, budgeting, cooking classes); and
• Resource, information, and referral (links to community resources and services).
Additional services may be offered based on the needs of the community where the NRC is
located, and may include, but are not limited to:
• Case management;
• In-home family support;
• Father-focused services;
• Services tailored to pregnant and parenting teens and/or parents of at-risk youth;
• Family economics and self-sufficiency;
• Family health and wellness; and
• Youth Development.
The Protective Factors Survey (PFS) will be required for use with families when case
management services are provided.
Service delivery requirements during COVID-19 and/or any other public emergency
NRCs provide essential services and as such, NRCs are to remain open to the public and
provide in-person, virtual, and/or a combination of modalities for services in conformance with
applicable State or County guidelines during the current pandemic and/or any other public
emergency that may arise in the future. Any proposed deviation in service delivery or staffing
levels in response to the current or future public emergencies must be approved by DSS prior to
implementation.
NRC Facility
SUBRECIPIENT’s NRC is located at 1940 E. Front Street, Selma, CA 93662. The NRC will be
open to the public, at a minimum, Monday-Friday, 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, and at least one evening
per week and one Saturday per month. Additional evening/weekend hours will be provided
based on client needs and outreach activities.
Any proposed change in SUBRECIPIENT’s NRC location shall require written approval from the
County’s DSS Director or designee prior to the commencement by SUBRECIPIENT of any
formal negotiation or legal procedure to secure an alternate NRC location. Should
SUBRECIPIENT and COUNTY mutually agree that a change in NRC location is necessary,
SUBRECIPIENT shall use the following guidelines in the identification of a new NRC location:
The new location must be centrally located within the same zip code(s) as the NRC service
area.
• The new location must be accessible and easily identified, near public transportation,
visible by street traffic, and within a stand-alone office or building suited for the needs of the
services provided. Locations that are not freely accessible to the public are unacceptable.
• The new location must be appropriate to ensure provision of services meets the needs of
their community, including availability for evening and weekend hours.
Exhibit A
Page 4 of 7
• If a shared location is proposed, i.e., sharing office space and/or a building with a different
agency or organization, a detailed explanation of how the arranged NRC space will meet
the needs of the community is required.
The new location must be adequate in size to meet the needs of clients and the community.
NRCs should reflect a "home-like" atmosphere that is welcoming to parents and families.
Ideally, NRCs should include therapeutic offices (if applicable), meeting rooms, a resource
center, a child development area that is well-equipped and comfortable for infants, toddlers, and
pre-school aged children, recreational room, and community kitchen, and should allow for
growth of new programs and services.
SUBRECIPIENT will obtain written approval from DSS prior to performing any NRC facility
capital improvements or purchasing any equipment with a cost exceeding $5,000.00.
DR Services
SUBRECIPIENT will accept all referred families residing within identified DR service area and
adjacent zip codes unless DSS staff and SUBRECIPIENT mutually agree referral acceptance
would exceed SUBRECIPIENT’s point in time capacity for DR service provision.
SUBRECIPIENT will endeavor to engage all referred families with a minimum of three contact
attempts per family.
SUBRECIPIENT will assess all engaged families using the NCFAS and will develop case plans
based on the results of the assessments. Progress toward achievement of case plan goals will
be documented via the completion of an intermediate and final NCFAS for each case managed
family.
SUBRECIPIENT will record all engagement results and case management data in Efforts to
Outcomes (ETO) within seventy-two (72) hours.
Other
SUBRECIPIENT will provide DSS a copy of any executed Agreement or Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU), including subcontractor budgets, between SUBRECIPIENT and any
subcontractors, if applicable. SUBRECIPIENT will provide DSS a copy of any Agreement or
MOU amendment or budget modification subsequently agreed upon by SUBRECIPIENT and
subcontractor. The use of a subcontractor shall not entitle SUBRECIPIENT to any additional
compensation than that provided under this Agreement.
SUBRECIPIENT will provide annual Civil Rights training to all staff at the beginning of every
calendar year and will provide verification of training completion to DSS by April 1. DSS will
provide documents needed for annual training and reporting.
SUBRECIPIENT’s staff will engage in trainings from providers in Fresno County to learn about
the services they offer and will attend all program and contract meetings coordinated by DSS.
Exhibit A
Page 5 of 7
E. COUNTY RESPONSIBILITIES
DSS staff will refer families that may benefit from SUBRECIPIENT’s voluntary DR services.
DSS staff will coordinate and participate in monthly or quarterly meetings with SUBRECIPIENT
to review program outcomes and discuss contractual issues.
DSS will include SUBRECIPIENT’s staff in DSS trainings that are relevant to the services as
described in the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
DSS staff will meet with SUBRECIPIENT staff as often as needed to exchange pertinent
information, provide guidance, resolve problems, and work collaboratively to coordinate
services.
F. REPORTS AND OUTCOMES
DSS will consider SUBRECIPIENT performance levels when determining funding
recommendations for future Agreements. For the contract period, SUBRECIPIENT shall
document all NRC and DR activities and services using Efforts to Outcomes (ETO), COUNTY’s
contracted CWS referral, data collection, and reporting system and will submit Monthly Activity
Reports (MARs) through ETO by the tenth (10th) of each month in a manner and format
determined by DSS.
The overall goal of NRCs and DR is to reduce the incidence of child maltreatment and resulting
investigations ultimately leading to fewer children entering foster care. The successful
implementation of core and optional services by all providers is critical to the collective effort to
achieve this goal. The outcomes listed on the subsequent pages will measure the success of
SUBRECIPIENT’s services. These outcomes may be modified at DSS’ discretion as required to
ensure compliance with State mandates, upon written consent of COUNTY’s DSS Director or
designee and SUBRECIPIENT. SUBRECIPIENT will report outcomes in each MAR or alternate
method determined by DSS.

NOTICE OF CHILD ABUSE REPORTING LAW
The undersigned hereby acknowledges that Penal Code section 11166 and the
contractual obligations between County of Fresno (COUNTY) and Exceptional Parents
Unlimited, Inc. (PROVIDER) related to provision of Neighborhood Resource Center/
Differential Response services for COUNTY’s dependent children, requires that the
undersigned report all known or suspected child abuse or neglect to one or more of the
agencies set forth in Penal Code (P.C.) section (§) 11165.9.
For purposes of the undersigned’s child abuse reporting requirements, “child
abuse or neglect” includes physical injury inflicted by other than accidental means upon
a child by another person, sexual abuse as defined in P.C. §11165.1, neglect as defined
in P.C. §11165.2, willful cruelty or unjustifiable punishment as defined in P.C. §11165.3,
and unlawful corporal punishment or injury as defined in P.C. §11165.4.
A child abuse report shall be made whenever the undersigned, in his or her
professional capacity or within the scope of his or her employment, has knowledge of or
observes a child whom the undersigned knows or reasonably suspects has been the
victim of child abuse or neglect. (P.C §11166.) The child abuse report shall be made to
any police department or sheriff’s department (not including a school district police or
security department), or to any county welfare department, including Fresno County
Department of Social Services’ 24 Hour CARELINE. (See PC §11165.9.)
For purposes of child abuse reporting, a “reasonable suspicion” means that it is
objectively reasonable for a person to entertain a suspicion, based upon facts that could
cause a reasonable person in a like position, drawing, when appropriate, on his or her
training and experience, to suspect child abuse or neglect. The pregnancy of a child
does not, in and of itself, constitute a basis for reasonable suspicion of sexual abuse.
(P.C. §11166(a)(1).)
Substantial penalties may be imposed for failure to comply with these child abuse
reporting requirements.
Further information and a copy of the law may be obtained from the department
head or designee.
I have read and understand the above statement and agree to comply with the
child abuse reporting requirements.
