Subject:Novation Contract #24-927-19 with Community Health for Asian Americans
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
to an underserved Asian population and will result in greater home, community, and school success.
On September 24, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-927-18 with Community Health
for Asian Americans 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 school and community based mental health services.
Approval of Novation Contract #24-927-19 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 novation contract is not approved, Asian American and other ethnic groups receiving services at four programs
in West Contra Costa County would have reduced access to mental health services in school, drug court and clinic
settings.
