RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74–375–1 with Rainbow Community Center of Contra Costa County, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $138,955, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) prevention and early intervention services for the period from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2011, in an amount not to exceed $69,477.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Proposition 63/MHSA. No County funds are required. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing a community-based social support program designed to decrease isolation, depression and suicidal ideation among members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning (LGBTQ) community residing in Contra Costa County.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On August 25, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74–375 with Rainbow Community Center of Contra Costa County, for the period from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2010, for the provision of MHSA prevention and early intervention services.

Approval of Novation Contract #74–375–1 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2011.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the LGBTQ community and their families will not recieve outreach and community engagement events, support groups, in-services, and counseling from this Contractor.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This MHSA-PEI program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include increases in social connectedness, communication skills, parenting skills, and knowledge of the human service system in Contra Costa County.
