SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The County currently has Agreement A-12496 with Door to Hope, which will expire on June 30, 2016. Door to Hope provides AB 109 Women’s Residential and outpatient services, Drug Medi-Cal outpatient services, and Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOT) services. These services focus on Monterey County residents with Medi-Cal eligibility who is a part of the AB 109 program, and who are referred for treatment.
This Agreement contains the County’s standard 30-day “no cause” and termination for “cause” provisions (Section 5) and a defunding provision (Section 6), which provides the County the ability to amend or terminate the Agreement in the event of a reduction and/or termination of funding.
This supports the Monterey County Health Department 2011-2015 strategic plan initiative: 1) Ensure access to culturally and linguistically appropriate, customer-friendly, quality health services. It also supports one of the ten essential public health services, specifically: 7) Link people to needed personal health services and assure the provision of health care when otherwise unavailable.
