participation in Welfare-to-Work activities . Subsequently, the
County' s Employment and Human Services Department . and Health
Services Department signed an Interdepartmental Services Agreement
(421-427) which allowed the Health Services Department to provide
substance abuse and mental health services to Welfare-to-Work
participants referred by the Employment and Human Services
Department .
On March 31 , 2001, The Board of Supervisors approved Contract
#74-115 with Desarrollo Familiar for the period from February 1,
2001 through June 30, 2001 for the provision of mental health
