Subject:Novation Contract #74–322–4 with Youth Homes Incorporated
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
residential day treatment services, including intensive day treatment, medication support,
crisis intervention, and other mental health services, including wrap-around, to Medi-Cal
eligible Severely Emotionally Disturbed (SED) children, and their families, who have been
referred by the C5 Interagency Team, in order to keep them out of higher levels of
placement.
On December 8, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–322–3
with Youth Homes Incorporated 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 residential day treatment services.
Approval of Novation Contract #74–322–4 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, there would be fewer step-down group homes being used
for placement of children who previously experienced higher levels of care, which may
require higher levels of care, again.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This C5 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 placement at discharge to a lower level of care.
