RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74-382-16 with Mental Health Connections, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $836,452, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services to adults recovering from psychiatric disorders, for the period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $836,452 for FY 2023-2024 and will be funded 100% by Mental Health Services Act (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of county’s population by providing programming for adults in recovery from psychiatric disorders, helping them to develop the support networks, vocational skills, and self-confidence needed to sustain stable and productive lives, throughout Contra Costa County. Contractor has been providing MHSA PEI services to the county since July 1, 2009.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On October 4, 2022 the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-382-15 with The Contra Costa Clubhouses, Inc., (now known as Mental Health Connections) in the amount not to exceed $796,681 to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services to adults recovering from psychiatric disorders, for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, which included a six-month extension through December 31, 2023 in an amount not to exceed $398,340.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-382-16 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2024.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, adults, and families of adults, in recovery from psychiatric disorders will not receive services helping them to develop support networks, vocational skills, and self-confidence needed to sustain productive lives from this contractor.
