SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The County currently has Agreement A-12262 with Central Coast Center for Independent Living (CCCIL) that will expire on June 30, 2016. Central Coast Center for Independent Living is one of the nationwide networks of Centers for Independent Living whose philosophy is that people with disabilities should have the same civil rights, options and control over choices in their own lives as do people without disabilities. This Agreement will continue provision of work incentive counseling and independent living skills services to mental health clients, including youth, and their family members in an effort to determine their potential eligibility for various work incentive programs.
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 initiative: 3) 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 provisions of health care when otherwise unavailable.
