SUBJECT: Approval of Novation Contract #24-576-1 with Neighborhood House of North Richmond
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and. authorize the Chair to execute onbehalf of the County, Novation
Contract #24-576-1 with Neighborhood House of North Richmond, Inc. in the amount
of $275,870 for the period from July 1, 1991 through June 30, 1992 for drug abuse
treatment services for residents of public housing in Richmond (at Las Deltas
Housing Development) . This Contract includes, a six-month automatic contract
extension through December 31, 1992 with a $137,935 payment limit for the extension
period.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded in the Health Services Department Budget by monies from the
Federal Office for Treatment Improvement for Critical Populations subsequent to an
application which was approved by your Board on May 14, 1990. No County match is
required for this program.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
In the Federal 1988 War on Drugs legislation, Congress created a new agency called
the Office for Treatment Improvement within the Department of Health and Human
Services. With limited funding, the purpose of this office is to improve, not
necessarily expand, drug abuse services.
A May 22, 1990 Board Order approved the development of a proposal that would
respond to the need for drug abuse services for residents of public housing. That
proposal was successful in obtaining funding by the Office for Treatment
Improvement and is being allocated through the State Department of Alcohol and Drug
Programs to the Contra Costa County Health Services Department.
Approval of Novation Contract #24-576-1 will allow the Contractor to continue these
much needed drug abuse services to the residents of public housing in Richmond (at
Las Deltas Housing Development) through June 30, 1992.
