Subject:Novation Contract #74–379–6 with People Who Care Children Association
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, which included a six-month automatic extension through
December 31, 2015, for the provision of MHSA prevention and early intervention services. Approval of Novation
Contract #74–379–6 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue
providing services through June 30, 2016.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, at-risk youth from East Contra Costa County will have reduced access to job training
and other programs, aimed at increasing educational success, due to delayed implementation of the Youth
Development Program as defined in the Mental Health Services Act.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This MHSA-PEI program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “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 increases in social connectedness, communication skills, parenting
skills, and knowledge of the human service system in Contra Costa County.
