Subject:Novation Contract #74–070–12 with FamiliesFirst, Inc.
BACKGROUND:
This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing mental health day
treatment for SED adolescents to reduce the need for hospitalization.
On December 9, 2008, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–070–10
(as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #74–070–11) with FamiliesFirst, Inc. for

extension through December 31, 2009, for the provision of an intensive day treatment
program for seriously emotionally disturbed (SED) adolescents.
Approval of Novation Contract #74–070–12 replaces the automatic extension under the
prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30,
2010.
