Subject:Novation Contract #74-405-4 with Lao Family Community Development, Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
East Asian adults in order to provide outreach, education, and support to develop problem solving skills, and increase
families emotional well-being and stability.
On December 3, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-405-3 with Lao Family
Community Development, Inc., for the period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014, which included a six-month
automatic extension through December 31, 2014, for the provision of MHSA PEI services.
Approval of Novation Contract #74-405-4 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the
Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2015.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, County residents will have reduced access to PEI services provided under MHSA
including outreach, education and support programs designed to increase family emotional well-being and stability.
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).
