Due to the establishment of the Adult Pretrial Supervision Program, EDC Probation desires to add the provision of substance abuse assessment and substance abuse treatment services to this contract. The increase in costs associated with this service is included in the Department’s FY 2015-2016 budget and funded through the Court’s Recidivism Reduction Fund Court Grant Program. .Increased service needs for transitional housing has been identified by the Community Corrections Center and approved by the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) and the Board of Supervisors in the Department’s FY 2015/2016 final budget.
