in the amount of $63, 953 for the period March 1 , 1989 through
February 28 , 1990 for residential treatment services to clients

ment includes a six-month automatic contract extension from
February 28, 1990 through August 31 , 1990, in the amount of
$31 , 976.
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT :
This contract is funded by Federal funds granted through the
State Department of Mental Health for the County ' s Dual
Diagnosis Local Demonstration Project (under State Contract
#88-79297 . There is no requirement for local matching funds for
this grant . This project takes advantage of existing residen-
tial and day treatment programs which are already being operated
by the County, and brings in additional federal project funds to
provide specialized services for dual diagnosis patients in
order to establish and demonstrate more effective treatment
methodologies for this unique client population which is
generally very difficult to treat .
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
This contractor has been providing these dual diagnosis project
services under Contract 424-463-1 which was approved by the
Board of Supervisors on August 30, 1988. Novation Contract
424-463-2 replaces the six-month automatic extension under prior
Contract #24-463-1 and extends the project through February 28,
1990.
In March 1987 , the State Department of Mental Health selected a
Health Services Department (Alcohol/Drug Abuse/Mental Health
Division) proposal for a federally-funded demonstration project
to serve young adults with the dual diagnosis of both mental
illness and substance abuse problems . On October 26, 1987 , the
Department received a "Notice of Grant Award" from the State in
the amount of $139, 485 showing the National Institute of Mental
Health had approved the project for the period beginning
September 30, 1987 and ending February 28, 1989.

The grant award also indicates that $145, 000 will be available
for this project for each of the two remaining project years ,
through February 28, 1991 . National Institutes for Mental
Health (NIMH) funding for Year Two of the grant is based on an
approved "non-competing renewal" application.
This project continues to provide residential treatment services
in the West County region to the dual diagnosis target popula-
tion. Nyumba Chuki , a facility operated by Phoenix Programs ,
was chosen as the residential site because it is an already-
existing residential facility, and it is in close proximity to
the County ' s Partial Hospital Program in Richmond , which will
be an important component in the implementation of the Dual
Diagnosis Project . Nyu mba Chuki will provide specialized resi-
dential services for up to 12 clients under this contract .
This document has been approved by the Department ' s Contracts
and Grants Administrator in accordance with the guidelines
approved by the Board ' s Order of December 1 , 1981 (Guidelines
for contract preparation and processing , Health Services
Department ) .
