RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Wendel Brunner, MD) to execute on behalf of the County, Contract #22–611–23 with New Connections, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $106,350, to provide services to County residents with HIV disease for the period from March 1, 2009 through February 28, 2010.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is 100% Federally funded, by the State, through the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006, through an inter-governmental agreement with Alameda County, who is the Grantee of these funds. No County funds are required.

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population in that it provides substance-abuse related counseling, advocacy, referral and placement service to County residents living with HIV/AIDS disease who are also substance abusers to decrease their substance abuse, improve and/or maintain their health status, and promote stability in their lives. On April 1, 2008, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #22 611 20 (as amended by Contract Amendments #22–611–21 and #22–611–22), with New Connections, for the period from March 1, 2008 through February 28, 2009, for the provision of support services to County residents with HIV disease. Approval of Contract #22–611–23 will allow the Contractor to continue providing services through February 28, 2010.
