Background: Transitional Housing Program-Plus (THP-Plus) is a State program created in 2001 to provide affordable housing and supportive services to homeless former foster youth to assist them with their continuing transition to independence. Seventeen counties, including El Dorado County, have State-approved THP-Plus plans. The Board approved the El Dorado County THP-Plus Plan on March 28, 2006 and, subsequent to an RFQ process, executed Agreement for Services 028-S0811 with Remi Vista, Inc. on April 22, 2008 for the provision of Transitional Housing Program-Plus services in accordance with provisions of the THP-Plus Plan for the term July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2010. Remi Vista, Inc. was the sole qualified respondent whose plan was certifiable by the State and found to be in compliance with the requirements of the program as set forth in the California Welfare and Institutions Code Section 16522.1 (h)(1)-(21).
Reason for Recommendation: Agreement for Services #012-S1111 allows for continued provision of these services by Remi Vista during the term July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011. The County Purchasing Agent has reviewed the Department's request for this contract and concurs that it is in compliance with Board of Supervisors Policy C-17, Sections 7.5 and 7.10.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1. Chair to sign two (2) originals of Agreement 012-S1111
2. Board Clerk to return one (1) original executed Agreement to Human Services at 3057 Briw Road.
