Subject:Novation Contract #24-429-56 with Ujima Family Recovery Services
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Approval of Contract #24-429-55 will replace the automatic extension under the prior contract and allow the
Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2014.
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.
