SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Since Fiscal Year 2006-07, the Monterey County Health Department, Behavioral Health Bureau, has contracted with Peacock Acres, Inc. for the provision of supported transitional housing for young males (ages 16 to 21) who are participating in one of Behavioral Health’s Juvenile Justice Treatment programs, including those discharged from the Probation Department’s Youth Center. In addition to supported housing, youth are served in the “Full Service Partnership” model as required by Mental Health Services Act funding, which includes an array of services such as educational/vocational, social and community supports as well as therapeutic and psychiatric services, when needed.
This Agreement will assure continuation of these services for an additional three year term beginning July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2018.
This Agreement contains the County’s standard 30-day “no cause” provision (Section IV, B) and an additional defunding provision (Section IV, D) which provides the County the ability to amend or terminate the Agreement in the event of a reduction and/or termination of funding.
This work supports the following Monterey County Health Department 2011-2015 strategic plan initiatives: enhance community health and safety by emphasizing prevention; and ensure access to culturally and linguistically appropriate, customer-friendly, quality health services. It also supports one or more of the ten essential public health services, specifically: Link people to needed personal health services and assure the provision of health care when otherwise unavailable.
