BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Under Contract #24-710, Contractor will provide MHSA PEI services including a Transition Age Youth Full Service
Partnership Program through June 30, 2014.

If this contract is not approved, transitional-aged youth in Contra Costa County will not have access to Contractor’s

of care.
