Subject:Novation Contract #24–778–19 with FamiliesFirst, Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On December 8, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–778–18
with FamiliesFirst, Inc., for the period from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010, which
included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2010, for the provision of
day treatment and mental health services for SED children.
Approval of Novation Contract #24–778–19 replaces the automatic extension under the
prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30,
2011.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, SED children at Mt. Diablo High School will not receive
needed day treatment, mental health services, medication support, and case management
services, and as a result, may require out-of-home placement.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This EPSDT program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes:
“Children Ready For and Succeeding in School”; “Families that are Safe, Stable, and
Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for
Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social
and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional
Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
