SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Monterey County has contracted with Interim, Inc. for over four decades to provide residential and day treatment programs, supportive housing, homeless outreach, peer navigation and community-based wellness and recovery activities that provide normalizing experiences for adults with serious mental illnesses, many of who also have co-occurring substance abuse disorders. This Amendment No. 9 reallocates funds among several programs effective December 1, 2020 and increases the rate for Adult Crisis Residential Services effective February 1, 2021. These modifications have no impact to the current FY 2020-21 total annual contract amount of $15,907,386.
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.
