Subject:Contract #74-128-16 with Charis Youth Center
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
it provides intensive and rehabilitative day treatment programs, including medication support and mental health
services for wards of the Court to reduce the need for hospitalization.
On December 10, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-128-15 with Charis Youth
Center, for the period from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014, with a six-month automatic extension through
December 31, 2014, for the provision of a day treatment program and TBS for SED adolescents.
Approval of Novation Contract #74-128-16 will allow Contractor to continue providing services, through June 30,
2015.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, SED adolescents will not have access to Contractor’s residential treatment program
and TBS services, possibly necessitating placement in higher levels of care, as the County solicits and engages an
alternative contractor.
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).
