SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S) :
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Donna
Wigand) to execute on behalf of the County, Contract #74-112-1 with Asian .
Community Mental Health Services, in an amount not to exceed $100, 000, to

FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is 1006 funded by the State CalWORKs through the Employment
and Human Services Department .
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S) :
In August 1997, the State of California Legislature passed Assembly Bill
1542 which brought major changes to the welfare programs previously operated
by the State . Among the changes was a provision which required treatment
of substance abuse and mental illnesses of Welfare-to-Work participants,
when these conditions interfere with participation in Welfare-to-Work
activities . Subsequently, the County' s Employment and Human Services
Department and Health Services Department signed Interdepartmental Services
Agreement #21-427, which allowed the Health Services Department to provide
substance abuse and mental health services to Welfare-to-Work participants
referred by the Employment and Human Services Department .
On April 3 , 2001, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-112 with
Asian Community Mental Health Services to provide mental health services,
including individual, group and family collateral counseling, case
management, and medication management services for Asian-language speaking
CalWORKs participants to reduce barriers to employment, for the period from
March 1, 2001 through June 30, 2001 .
Approval of Contract #74-112-1 will allow Contractor to continue providing
services through June 30, 2002 .
