Subject:Novation Contract #24-243-54 with R.E.A.C.H Project
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On January 15, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-243-53 with R.E.A.C.H Project, for
the period from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013, which included a six-month automatic extension through
December 31, 2013, for the provision of drug abuse prevention and treatment services at Contractor’s facilities
throughout East County.
Approval of Novation Contract #24-243-54 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the
Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2013.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, County’s Clients will not receive substance abuse treatment from Contractor,
resulting in an overall reduction of services to a community at risk for incarceration.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This prevention and treatment 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
addicted youth being provided an opportunity to prevent or recover from the effects of alcohol or other drug use,
become self-sufficient, and return to their families as productive individuals.
