SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The County currently has Agreement A-12495 with Central Coast Citizenship Project (CCCP) which will expire on June 30, 2016. Central Coast Citizenship Project provides prevention and early intervention community-based mental health services to the unserved and underserved Latino population of Monterey County. Services include community outreach and engagement opportunities to increase mental health awareness, education on accessing services, and referrals to agencies. In addition, CCCP has a clinician on staff to provide direct services that include assessment and short-term counseling.
The 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.
