Subject:Novation Contract #74-376-6 with Center for Human Development
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, and Queer (LGBTQ) youth and their allies. On August 12, 2014, the Board of
Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-376-5 with Center for Human Development for the provision of
MHSA PEI services, for the period July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, which included a six-month automatic
extension through December 31, 2015. Approval of Novation Contract #74-376-6 replaces the automatic extension
under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing MHSA PEI services, through June 30, 2016.
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).
