Subject:Interagency Agreement #29–521–10 with First 5 Contra Costa Children and Families Commission
BACKGROUND:
Since 2001, the Corbin House Project has expanded and enhanced substance abuse services
for women that are in the child welfare system and has provided 6 new residential treatment
beds for women and their children. The project is an opportunity to address the specialized
treatment needs of women, their infants and children involved with Children and Family
Services. The goal of the project is to have healthy children ready for school by addressing
their special treatment needs; provide on-going case management services for mothers and
their families from a multi-disciplinary team approach; and reduce the wait list time for
women in the child welfare system to enter residential treatment.
On September 15, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved Interagency Agreement
#29–521–8 (as amended by Amendment/Extension Agreement #29–521–9), with First 5
Contra Costa Children and Families Commission, for the period from July 1, 2009 through
September 30, 2010, for continuation of residential substance abuse services for pregnant
and/or parenting women and their children.
Approval of Agreement #29–521–10 will allow the project to continue and will not replace
any existing project or program that is monitored by the County, through June 30, 2011.
Approval of the recommendation will allow the County Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the
Health Services Department, to purchase approximately 120 vouchers:
Forty (40) WestCat bus tickets (1 book) @ $1.75 each $70.00
Ten (10) County Connection bus tickets @ $2.00 each $20.00
Twenty (20) TriDelta bus tickets @ $3.00 each $60.00
Fifty (50) Subway food vouchers @ $5.00 each $250.00
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, County will not receive funding needed to continue the
Corbin House Project.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This Alcohol and Drug Abuse program supports the Board of Supervisors’ “Families that
are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing” community outcome by providing parenting education,
stability, and safety for mothers (and their children) and pregnant women who are alcohol
and drug dependent, while they are in substance abuse treatment. Expected outcomes
include delivery of drug-free babies, decreased use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs,
reduction in the number of relapses, and creation of a sober social network.
