Subject:Contract #24-710-1 with Youth Homes Incorporated
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
services to transitional aged youth who are experiencing serious mental illness, likely to exhibit co-occurring
disorders, and from underserved populations.
On January 14, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-710 with Youth Homes Incorporated, for the
provision of a MHSA funded FSP for transitional age youth, for the period from December 5, 2013 through June 30,
2014.
Approval of Contract #24-710-1, will allow Contractor to continue to provide services, through June 30, 2015.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, transitional-aged youth in Contra Costa County will not have access to Contractor’s
mental health services, leading to reduced levels of service to the community and potential placement in higher levels
of care.

Succeeding in School”; “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide
