Subject:Novation Contract #24–959–17 with Family Stress Center,
Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
the County’s Employment and Human Services Department and Health Services Department signed an
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 January 29, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–959–16 with Family Stress Center,
Inc., for the period from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009, which included a six-month automatic extension
through December 31, 2009, for the provision of mental health services, including individual, group and family
collateral counseling, case management, and medication management services to CalWORKs participants to reduce
barriers to employment.
Approval of Novation Contract #24–959–17 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the
Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2010.
