Subject:Novation Contract #24–927–15 with Community Health for Asian Americans
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
to an underserved Asian population and will result in greater home, community, and school
success. This Contract also provides day treatment and mental health services to dually
diagnosed adolescents admitted into the West County Youth Drug Court, in order to reduce
unsafe behavior, improve school attendance and performance, avoid out-of-home
placement, and deal with emotional problems.
On December 1, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–927–14
with Community Health for Asian Americans 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 school and community based mental health services.
Approval of Novation Contract #24–927–15 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, Asian American and other ethnic groups receiving EPSDT
services at four programs in West Contra Costa County would not be able to access mental
health services in school, drug court, or clinic settings.
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) and a decrease in juvenile offender recidivism as measured by
probation database information.
