RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74-405-1 with Lao Family Community Development, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $169,926, 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 $84,963.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing comprehensive case management, educational workshops and support groups to Asian and South East Asian adults in order to provide outreach, education, and support to develop problem solving skills, and increase families emotional well-being and stability.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 21, 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-405 with Lao Family Community Development, Inc., 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 #74-405-1 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, County residents will have reduced access to prevention and early intervention services provided under MHSA including outreach, education and support programs designed to increase family emotional well-being and stability.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children Ready For and Succeeding in School”; “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 an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
