Summary
The commissioners approved renewal agreements for Early Intervention services: Early Bird Therapy ($313,276.55, +49.04%), UCP of Central Pennsylvania ($44,982.83, -28.46%), and Tenfold ($331,340.00, +6.39%). Minutes indicate funding is primarily state-based (90%) with county match (10%) except Tenfold which uses mixed federal and HUD funding streams.
Lancaster County approved on June 17 multiple renewal agreements related to Early Intervention and behavioral health services. The contracts recorded in the minutes include: Early Bird Therapy, LLC for occupational, speech, physical therapy and special instruction services at $313,276.55 (a 49.04% increase); UCP of Central Pennsylvania for similar services at $44,982.83 (a 28.46% decrease); and Tenfold for supportive services assisting adults with serious mental illness who are homeless at $331,340.00 (a 6.39% increase).
The minutes specify contract terms run from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. They also indicate funding sources: contracts are 90% State Base Funding and 10% County Funding except Tenfold, which is funded from PATH grant funding (Federal and State), HUD grants (Federal) and the Community Mental Health Services Block Grant (Federal). The board approved the renewals unanimously.
Why it matters: the renewals affect service capacity for children receiving Early Intervention and for adults served by BHDS’ mental-health programs. The minutes provide percentage changes and funding breakdowns but do not include service-level detail beyond service categories listed.
