RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #74-315-20 with Community Options for Families and Youth, Incorporated, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $736,749, to provide Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) and outpatient mental health services to Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) children and youth, and their families, for the period from January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2021 in an amount not to exceed $736,749.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual expenditures of up to $736,749 for a 6-month period and is budgeted with 50% Federal Medi-Cal and 50% Mental Health Realignment revenues.

BACKGROUND:

The contract meets the social needs of the County by providing Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) to seriously emotionally disturbed (SED) children who have been discharged from a hospital or have failed in other placements. The contractor shall also provide a Multisystemic Behavioral and Functional Family Therapy program for adolescents who are discharged from Juvenile Hall and the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility.

On September 10, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–315–16 with Community Options for Families and Youth, Incorporated to provide TBS, Multisystemic Behavioral Therapy and Counseling Enriched Classroom (CEC) school-based services, for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020.

On March 10, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #74-315-17 to increase the payment limit by $38,272 to a new payment limit of $1,473,498 with no change to the term. On April 28, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #74-315-18 to increase rates due to Covid-19 with no change to the payment limit or term. On July 28, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #74-315-19 increase rates due to Covid-19 with no change to the payment limit or term.

Approval of Contract #74–315–20 will allow the contractor to continue providing services, through June 30, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, SED children and youth involved in the juvenile justice system will not have access to the contractor’s mental health services which may result in a reduction of services and placement in higher levels of care.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This TBS 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).
