Community Development Block Grant Funded Social Service Programs

The County of Fresno, on behalf of the Department of Social Services, is requesting proposals from qualified vendors to provide social service programs to low to moderate income persons residing in the unincorporated areas of Fresno County and/or the partner cities of Fowler, Kerman, Kingsburg, Reedley, and Selma. The funding for these services originates from the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation for Fresno County. The contract was awarded to Marjaree Mason Center, Inc. and Boys and Girls Clubs of Fresno County. The scope of work includes providing social service programs aimed at low to moderate-income persons, with a maximum annual allocation of $108,077. The key services to be provided include: • Providing social service programs to low to moderate income persons • Targeting at-risk youth in areas with a shortage of services for that population • Collaborating with outside agencies • Measuring outcomes and providing quantitative assessments of program and client progress
