ATTESTED: August 12, 2014 David Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: Chris Heck, Deputy cc: A Down, C Rucker C. 65 To:Board of Supervisors From:William Walker, M.D., Health Services Director Date:August 12, 2014 Contra Costa County 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).
