BACKGROUND:
In August 1997, the State of California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 1542 which

Welfare-to-Work activities.

Subject:Novation Contract #24–959–20 with STAND! For Families Free of Violence
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Subsequently, the County’s Employment and Human Services Department and Health
Services Department signed an Interdepartmental Services Agreement (#21 427), which
allowed the Health Services Department to provide substance abuse and mental health
services to Welfare-to-Work participants referred by the Employment and Human Services
Department.
On January 18, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–959–19
with STAND! For Families Free of Violence, for the period from July 1, 2010 through June
30, 2011, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2011, for
the provision of mental health services, including individual, group and family collateral
counseling, case management, and medication management services to CalWORKs
participants to reduce barriers to employment.
Approval of Novation Contract #24–959–20 replaces the automatic extension under the
prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30,
2012.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, County’s clients will experience delays in receiving the
mental health services they need in order to participate in Welfare-to-Work activities as the
County solicits and engages an alternative contractor.
