RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74-399-2 with Contra Costa Interfaith Transitional Housing, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $146,000, to provide community-based mental health services for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) youth, for the period from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2013, in an amount not to exceed $73,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 50% by Federal Financial Participation and 50% Mental Health Realignment. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing community-based mental health services, including individual, group and family therapy; case management; and crisis intervention services for SED youth and their families at the Garden Park Apartments.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On December 6, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-399-1 with Contra Costa Interfaith Transitional Housing, Inc., for the period from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2012, for the provision of community-based mental health services.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-399-2 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2013.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, emotionally disturbed youth will have reduced access to the mental health services provided by Contractor, including individual, group and family therapy; case management; and crisis intervention services.

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).
