RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74–377–2 with RYSE, Inc., a California Nonprofit Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $430,133, 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 $215,066.

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 engaging participants in deeper, transformative work that recognizes and addresses the histories and inequitable burden of trauma and violence experienced in West Contra Costa County and providing harm reduction presentations to schools, community organizations, and public agencies; street-based outreach, monthly cultural events, and monthly membership meetings.
On January 18, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74–377-1 with RYSE, Inc., a California Nonprofit Corporation, 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 #74–377–2 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, Contractor will not provide the health and wellness program which provides youth centered assessment goal setting and support and wellness services or the trauma response and resilience system providing support and response to incidents of violence to diverse cultural communities in West Contra Costa County.

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.
