RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74–379–2 with People Who Care Children Association, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $203,594, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) prevention and early intervention services for the period from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2012, in an amount not to exceed $101,797.

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 work experience for 150 multicultural youth residing in the Pittsburg/Bay Point communities, as well as programs aimed at increasing educational success among youth who are either at-risk or high-risk of dropping out of school, or committing a repeat offense.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On January 11, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–379-1 with People Who Care Children Association, for the period from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2011, for the provision of MHSA prevention and early intervention services.

Approval of Novation Contract #74–379–2 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2012.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, at-risk youth from East Contra Costa County will have reduced access to job training and other programs aimed at increasing educational success due to delayed implementation of the Youth Development Program as defined in the Mental Health Services Act.

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.
