County amends youth-services contract to add transitional living program for older adolescents
Summary
The board approved an addendum to a Pence Run Youth Services purchase-of-service agreement to recognize a newly state-approved transitional living program at a contract rate of $189.79 per day to support older adolescents moving toward independent living.
The commissioners voted to approve an addendum to a prior fiscal-year purchase-of-service agreement with Pence Run (Pence Run Youth Services) to incorporate a newly introduced transitional living program. The solicitor explained the state recently approved the program at a contract rate of $189.79 per day, requiring the county to update the prior agreement for services billed under that program.
A commissioner who moved the motion said the program addresses a real need for teenagers aging out of care and that the county should support transitional-living services that teach basic life skills. The board approved the addendum by voice vote.
