HSA wishes to enter into a Fourth Amendment to the Agreement to change the name of the contractor from SJICDVP to CORA, which was effective May 24, 2004 (see attached certification of Amendment from the State) and to add funds in the amount of $130,000 to continue providing domestic violence services to clients for FY 2004-05 served by HSA. Additionally, the Amendment creates a new collaboration between CORA and HSA for the Family Self-Sufficiency Teams (FSST).
This Amendment has been reviewed and approved as to form by County Counsel’s Office. Risk Management has reviewed and approved the contractor’s insurance coverage.

The Agreement with CORA keeps the commitment of: Ensure basic health and safety for all and goal number 8: Help vulnerable people – the aged, disabled mentally ill, at-risk youth and others – achieve a better quality of life. The Agreement contributes to this commitment and goal since CORA provides shelter, transitional housing, legal services, counseling and emergency assistance to battered women and their children who are at risk of physical and emotional harm.
