This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2007, in an amount not to exceed$26,000. i FISCAL IMPACT: i 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 RECOMMENDATION(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.
