SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee (Donna Wigand) to execute
on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74-034-9 with We Care Services for Children, a
non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $52,000, to provide mental health services for
Ca1WORKs participants for the period from. July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007. This Contract
includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2007, in an amount not to exceed
$26,000.
i
FISCAL IMPACT:
This Contract is funded 100% by the State of California Work Opportunities and Responsibilities
i to Kids (Ca1WORKs) through the Employment and Human Services Department.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMEN!DATION(S):
In August 1997, the State of California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 1542 which brought
major changes to the welfare programs previously operated by the State. Among the changes was
a provision, which required treatment of substance abuse and mental"illnesses of Welfare-to-Work
participants, when these conditions interfere with participation in Welfare-to-Work activities.
Subsequently, County's Employment and Human Services Department and Health Services
Department signed an Interdepartmental Services Agreement (#21-427), 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.
