COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA - AMENDMENT TO SERVICE AGREEMENT
This is an amendment to an existing agreement
Reason(s) for Amending the Service Agreement
{
Amend Term of Agreement
In late 2015, the County of Santa Clara was awarded a Pay for Success Grant from the Nonprofit Finance Fund (NFF) in the amount
of $245,000.00. This NFF Grant was awarded to the County as the sub-grantee, with Telecare Corporation serving as the County's
servicç provider. The actual budget was added as part of the County's Mid-Year action in February 2016. This project just completed
its second quarter with two more quarters remaining. The County and Telecare have made significant strides in ramping up this
project but much work still needs to be completed, both to adhere to Grant compliance requirements and in support of the overall
goal ofthe Project.
