Subject:Contract #24–429–52 with Ujima Family Recovery Services
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On August 10, 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24–429–49 (as amended
by Contract Amendment Agreements #24–429–50 and #24–429–51) with Ujima Family
Recovery Services for the period from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, for the provision
of perinatal intensive day treatment, residential recovery program, and transitional housing
for women.
Approval of Contract #24–429–52 will allow the Contractor to continue providing services
through June 30, 2012.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Contract is not approved, pregnant and parenting women will not receive the alcohol
and drug treatment services they need which may result in perinatal substance abuse and
additional risk to their babies.
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.
