The CoCo Lead+ Project is a County program funded by the California Board of State and Community Corrections, Proposition 47, “The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act”, to ensure services for adults with behavioral issues who are committing non-serious, non-violent crimes are available through prevention, diversion and support programs. Contractor is the primary subcontractor who holds administrative responsibility for all aspects of community-based activities, develop policies and protocols with all partners regarding diversion and project services, hire and train staff, facilitate coordination to reduce both barriers and gaps, develop data system and protocols to support evaluation, develop and implement a communications plan, and partner with County’s Health Services Department and the County Administrator’s Office to subcontract funds in amounts and for purposes identified.
On November 14, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-550, as amended by Amendment Agreement #74-550-1, with Healthright 360 for the provision of pre-arrest, at-arrest and post-arrest diversion opportunities and coordination services for Antioch residents with behavioral health issues for the period from November 1, 2017 through August 15, 2020.
Approval of Contract Extension Agreement #74-550-2 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide pre-arrest, at-arrest and post-arrest diversion opportunities and coordination services through August 15, 2021.
If this amendment is not approved, Contractor will not be paid for additional services provided to expand the program.
