APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #74-543-6 with YWCA of Contra Costa/Sacramento, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $282,794 to provide mental health services for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) children and adolescents, 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 $282,794.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $282,794 and will be funded by 50% Federal Medi-Cal ($141,397) and 50% Mental Realignment ($141,397) revenues.

BACKGROUND:

The Behavioral Health Services Department has been contracting with YWCA of Contra Costa/Sacramento, since April 2017 to provide mental health services for SED children and adolescents. This contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing mental health services to adolescents with emotional and behavioral problems to improve school performance, reduce unsafe behavioral practices, and reduce the need for out-of-home placements. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).

On July 23, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-543-2, with YWCA of Contra Costa/Sacramento to provide mental health services for SED children and adolescents for the period 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 #74-543-3, to increase the contract payment limit by $14,691 to a new payment limit of $565,589. On April 28, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #74-543-4, to modify the rate schedule for the period April 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020, due to COVID-19. On July 28, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #74-543-5, to modify the rate schedule for the period July 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, due to COVID-19.

Approval of Contract #74-543-6 will allow the contractor to continue providing mental health services through June 30, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, SED children and adolescents will not have access to mental health services provided by the contractor.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: (1) Children Ready for and Succeeding in School; (4) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and (5) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.
