SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Monterey County has contracted with Interim, Inc. for many years to provide residential and day treatment programs, supportive housing, homeless outreach and support, supported education and employment services, peer navigation and community-based activities that provide normalizing experiences for adults with serious mental illnesses, who may also have co-occurring substance abuse disorders. The programs provided by Interim, Inc. have been developed in collaboration with the Behavioral Health Bureau in response to community needs identified during local planning processes. This Agreement will assure continuation of these services for an additional three year term beginning July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2019.
This Agreement contains the County’s standard 30-day “no cause” provision (Section IV.B.) and a 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 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 or more of the ten essential public health services, specifically:
