Human services asks to add two early‑intervention contract addenda to next week’s consent agenda
Summary
Julia from Human Services requested that the board add two contract addenda — additional funds for Strawberry Fields Inc. (blended case management) and additional early intervention services from UPMC Home Healthcare of Central Pennsylvania — to the next consent agenda for formal approval.
Centre County Human Services staff asked commissioners to place two contract addenda on next week’s consent agenda to increase funding for early‑intervention services.
Julia (Human Services) said Addendum No. 1 to the Strawberry Fields Inc. contract would increase the blended case management allocation from $1,788,900.00 to $1,826,991 to account for residential services within the total. She also described a separate addendum with UPMC Home Healthcare of Central Pennsylvania to provide additional early‑intervention services to meet increased referrals.
Why it matters: staff said referrals have grown and the adjustments will let the county serve more families through early‑intervention and residential supports. Julia said the addenda respond to demand and maintain service continuity.
The board voted to add the two items to next week’s consent agenda; the full contract approvals will be considered there.
Ending: Commissioners directed Human Services to include both addenda on the next consent agenda and bring any supporting documentation needed for final consideration.
