Terrebonne Parish to consider service agreements for legal aid, senior centers and behavioral health
Summary
Committee preview: the parish plans Cooperative Endeavor Agreements with Southeast Louisiana Legal Services, Gulf Coast Teaching and Family Services to operate three senior centers, and South Central Louisiana Human Services Authority to expand behavioral and mental health services for low- and moderate-income residents; items go to the Feb. 25 council meeting for consideration.
Unidentified Speaker, host of On the Agenda, summarized several Cooperative Endeavor Agreements (CEAs) presented in the budget and finance committee for consideration by the council on Feb. 25. The speaker listed a CEA with Southeast Louisiana Legal Services to provide legal counseling and representation to low-income individuals; a CEA with Gulf Coast Teaching and Family Services to operate three parish senior centers in Mechanicville, Gibson and Gray; and a CEA with South Central Louisiana Human Services Authority to provide behavioral and mental-health services to low- and moderate-income residents.
The program also noted acceptance of program income (referred to as from "Gustave Eich" from OCD) into the parish's CBGR program to support local needs. The host described these as part of the parish's ongoing efforts "to help low to moderate income families to get either legal or behavioral health services." The transcript does not record final approvals; these remain items for the Feb. 25 council agenda.
Next steps: the council will consider these CEAs and the acceptance of program income at its Feb. 25 meeting. The transcript does not provide contract amounts or full vendor contract text.
