RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #24–213–61 with Desarrollo Familiar, Inc. (dba Familias Unidas), a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $151,237 to provide referral, consultation and education, and outpatient mental health services in West Contra Costa County for the period January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2023, in an amount not to exceed $151,237.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $151,237 and will be funded by 57% Mental Health Realignment, 38% Substance Abuse/Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Grant, and 5% Federal Medi-Cal. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

The County has been contracting with Desarrollo Familiar, Inc. (dba Familias Unidas) since March 1981. This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing information and referrals, consultation and education, and outpatient mental health services for Spanish-speaking, mentally ill clients in West Contra Costa County at the Familias Unidas Counseling Center.

On December 14, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24–213–60 with Desarrollo Familiar, Inc. (dba Familias Unidas), in an amount not to exceed $296,975 for the provision of referral, consultation and education, and outpatient mental health services in West Contra Costa County for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2022 in an amount not to exceed $148,488.

Approval of Contract #24–213–61 will allow the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, a significant number of the County’s mentally ill, Spanish-speaking adult clients in West Contra Costa County will experience reduced access to the information, referrals, consultation, education, and outpatient mental health services they need.
