Background
|
Over the last two years, San Mateo County had seen an economic downturn and an increase in clients needing assistance in obtaining employment. The State Department of Rehabilitation and the San Mateo County Human Services Agency are enhancing efforts
to provide employment and training services to the disabled population in San Mateo County. For the past nine years, the Department of Rehabilitation, San Mateo County Mental Health, and San Mateo County, Human Services Agency have had a partnership in providing the above mentioned services to the Mental Health population of San Mateo County. During discussions over the last year, it was discovered that there were many other disabled people in San Mateo County that were not serviced by the current Agreement. Hence, the new Collaborative Partnership between the Human Services Agency and the State Department of Rehabilitation was initiated.

Discussion

The Agreement provides vocational assessment, employment preparation, job development and placement services for people who have significant disabilities, psychiatric disabilities and who are not receiving services from San Mateo County Mental Health. Consumers will be served jointly by the Human Services Agency and the State Department of Rehabilitation.
As it is expedient and appropriate for the Director of the Human Services Agency to execute amendments for the completion of this program, it is hereby requested that the Director of the Human Services Agency be given authorization to sign future amendments for the term of this Agreement.
County Counsel has reviewed and approved this Agreement as to form.
