RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #74–375–11 with Rainbow Community Center of Contra Costa County, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $391,070, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services to members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning (LGBTQ) community, 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 $391,070.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $391,070 and will be funded by 100% Mental Health Service Act revenues.

BACKGROUND:

The Behavioral Health Services Department has been contracting with Rainbow Community Center of Contra Costa County, since July 2009 to provide MHSA and PEI services. This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing a community-based social support program designed to decrease isolation, depression and suicidal ideation among members of the LGBTQ community residing in Contra Costa County. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).

On October 22, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–375-10 with Rainbow Community Center of Contra Costa County, for the provision of MHSA PEI services for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020.

Approval of Contract #74–375–11 will allow the contractor to continue providing MHSA and PEI services, through June 30, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, this contractor will not provide outreach and community engagement events, support groups, in-services, and counseling to the LGBTQ community and their families.

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.
