SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The County currently has Agreement A-14019 with Door to Hope which will expire on June 30, 2021. Door to Hope will continue to provide Outpatient group and individual therapy for adults and Residential Services for women including case management and Recovery Services.
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 2018-2022 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.

The Office of County Counsel-Risk Management and Auditor-Controller have reviewed and approved as to legal form and fiscal provisions respectively.
FINANCING:

The funds for FY 2021-22 are included in the Health Department Behavioral Health (HEA012, Unit 8410) FY 2021-22 Requested Budget. The funds for Fiscal Year 2022-23 will be included in the Department’s requested budget for that fiscal year. Approval of this action has no impact on the County General Fund.
