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 Federal Grant #5H87
MH43460-03) . No County matching funds are required . This pro-
ject takes advantage of existing residential and day treatment
programs which are already being operated by the County and
brings in additional federal project funds to provide spe-
cialized services for dual diagnosis patients in order to
establish and demonstrate more effective treatment methodologies
for this unique client population which is generally very dif-
ficult to treat . This is the third and final year of the Local
Demonstration Proect which ends on February 28 , 1991 .
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND :
This contractor has been providing these dual diagnosis proj e c t
services under Contract 4624-463-2 which was approved by the
Board of Supervisors on August 29 , 1989 . Novation Contract
4624-463-3 replaces the six-month automatic extension under prior
Contract 4624-463-1 and extends the project through February 28 ,
1991 .
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 , 1'989 . Funding was
increased to $ 145 ,000 in Year Two of the grant .

Board Order Page 2
The grant award for Year Three ( the final project year ) , which
goes through February 28 , 1991 , is $ 134 , 768 . National
Institutes for Mental Health (NIMH) funding for Year Three of the
grant is based on an approved "non-competing renewal" applica-
tion .
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 . Nyumba Chuki will provide specialized resi-
dential services for up to 12 clients under this contract .
