RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #25-076-2 with Anka Behavioral Health, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $250,268, to operate care centers and provide evening outreach services for the Homeless Coordinated Entry System of Care, for the period from January 1, 2018 through March 31, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 55% by Mental Health Realignment and 45% by Housing and Urban Development Coordinated Entry.

BACKGROUND:

On February 7, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #25-076 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #25-076-1) with Anka Behavioral Health, Inc., to operate care centers and provide outreach services for the Homeless Coordinated Entry System of Care. This contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing support services to Contra Costa County families who are homeless, including case management, day shelter services, transportation needs, mental health assessment, and crisis intervention.

Approval of Contract #25-076-2, will allow the contractor to continue to provide support services to Contra Costa County families who are homeless through March 31, 2018, during which time the department will negotiate terms for a new one-year contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, families who are homeless will not have access to the contractor’s services.
