Subject:Novation Contract #74–322–12 with Youth Homes Incorporated
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Approval of Novation Contract #74–322–12 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, there would be fewer step-down group home options available in the County and
children requiring this level of care may experience out of State placement.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This Contract 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) and
placement at discharge to a lower level of care.
