RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Haven Fearn), to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #24–948–20 with New Connections, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $420,000, to provide substance abuse and mental health services for CalWORKs program participants for the period from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2010, in an amount not to exceed $210,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 5% by Federal Perinatal Set-Aside and 95% by the State of California Work Opportunities and Responsibilities to Kids (CalWORKs) through the Employment and Human Services Department.

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing outpatient perinatal intensive day treatment services and assessments and pre-treatment and pre-sobriety services for substance abusing and mentally ill participants in the CalWORKs program to help eliminate barriers to employment.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On January 6, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–948–18 with New Connections for the period from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2009, for the provision of substance abuse and mental health services for CalWORKs program participants.

Approval of Novation Contract #24–948–20 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2010.
