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 p--rograms
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 . Subsequentlyi ' the
County' s Employment and Human Services Department and Health
Services Department signed 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 .
Under Contract #74-112 , Asian Community Mental Health Services will
provide mental health services, including individual , group and
family collateral counseling, case management, and medication
management services for Asian-language speaking Ca1WORKs
participants to reduce barriers to employment, through June 30,
