#74-322-1
BACKGROUND/REASON(S)FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
This Contract meets the social needs of County's population in that it provides residential day
treatment services, including intensive day treatment, medication support, crisis intervention, and
other mental health services, including wrap-around, to Medi-Cal eligible Severely Emotionally
Disturbed (SED) children, and their families, who have been referred by the C5 Interagency
Team, in order to keep them out of higher levels of placement.
On December 16, 2007, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-322 with
Youth Homes Incorporated, for the period from September 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008, which
included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2008, for the provision of
residential day treatment services.
Approval of Novation Contract #74-322-1 replaces the automatic extension under the prior
Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2009.
