Subject:Novation Contract #74-376-5 with Center for Human Development
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
African American Wellness Program and Empowerment Program. These programs will promote physical wellness
and mental health in the African American community and emotional health and community connections among
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, and Queer (LGBTQ) youth and their allies.
On December 10, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-376-4 with Center for Human
Development for the provision of MHSA PEI services, for the period July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014, which
included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2014.
Approval of Novation Contract #74-376-5 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the
Contractor to continue providing MHSA PEI services, through June 30, 2015.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer mental health and wellness services available to underserved
African American communities and LGBTQ youth in East County resulting in greater isolation within the community.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This 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 an increase in positive social
and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
