RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #24-409-45 with Contra Costa Youth Services Bureau, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $3,846,000, to provide mental health services including wraparound and outpatient treatment to children in West County for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2022, in an amount not to exceed $1,923,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in an annual budgeted expenditure of up to $3,846,000 for Fiscal Year 2021/2022 and will be funded by 50% by Federal Medi-Cal and 50% Mental Health Realignment. (No rate increase)









BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing school and community based mental health services, including: assessments, individual, group and family therapy; medication support, case management, outreach, and crisis intervention services, to an underserved population and will result in greater home, community, and school success. Contra Costa Youth Services Bureau has been providing mental health service to the county since May 1987.  
  
On January 19, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-409-43 with Contra Costa Youth Services Bureau, in an amount not to exceed $1,783,741 for the provision of specialized mental health service including in-home behavioral health services to children and their families in West Contra Costa County for the period from January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021, which included a six month automatic extension through December 31, 2021, in an amount not to exceed $1,783,741.  
  
On July 13, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #24-409-44 with Contra Costa Youth Services Bureau, to modify the rate schedule due to COVID-19 with no change in the payment limit of $1,783,741 or term January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021, including an automatic extension through December 31, 2021, in an amount not to exceed $1,783,741.  
  
Approval of Novation Contract #24-409-45 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2022.  
  
The contract renewal request was delayed due to pending approval of the new contract language, which has been added to certain contracts to ascertain cohesiveness and alignment with State regulations.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, Contra Costa Youth Services Bureau and other ethnic groups receiving services at four programs in West County would have reduced access to mental health services in school, drug court and clinic settings.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This Early and Periodic Screening Diagnostic and Treatment 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) and a decrease in juvenile offender recidivism as measured by probation database information.
