SUBJECT: Approval of Interim Contract #24--442 with v
La Cheim Residential Treatment Centers
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the
County, Interim Contract #24-442 with . La Cheim Residential
Treatment Centers in the amount of $118, 179 for the period
November 11 , 1987 - February 10 , 1988 for start up of a six-bed
residential program for emotionally disturbed latency age
children .
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funds for this Contract are included in the Depar.tment ' s
FY 1987-88 Budget . Sources of funding are as follows :
State Short Doyle 90% $106 , 361
County 10% 11 , 818
Total Contract Payment Limit $118 ,179
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND :
There are currently no residential treatment beds for seriously
emotionally disturbed latency age children in Contra Costa
County . Presently these children must be placed at Napa State
Hospital or patient . facilities distant from family and com-
munity. Each year the number of latency age children who need
residential treatment increases .
Interim Contract #24-442 provides start-up funding for a six-bed
treatment facility in this County to help meet this need .
Establishing this six-bed facility will reduce our utilization
of Napa State Hospital beds by diverting children from State
hospitalization and/or by enabling an earlier discharge than is
now possible . Currently, Contra Costa is one of the top users
of the the ' State hospitals . This in-County facility will also
give family members a greater opportunity to participate in
treatment which , in turn , should decrease the length of time a
. child requires out-of-home placement .
