RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26098 to add one (1) Health Services Administrator - Level B (VANG) position at salary plan and grade ZB2-1323 ($5,432-$8,901) and add one (1) Mental Health Program Chief (VQDN) position at salary plan and grade ZA5- 2029 ($10,607-$12,893) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in an approximate annual cost of $433,515 with pension costs of $101,424 already included. 100% CalAIM revenues.

BACKGROUND:

The Health, Housing, and Homeless Services (H3) Division has been successful in its efforts to bring more than $30 million dollars in funding available through the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the State of California to address homelessness in Contra Costa County over the past two years. Recently, the California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) initiative has provided funding for interim shelter, respite, housing navigation, and housing stabilization services. These new services will require the Division to build its staff capacity to create the infrastructure needed to support this expansion in services and clinical requirements. The Health Services Administrator – Level B position will be responsible for administrative project management and support to meet the planning, organizing, compliance, and performance outcome requirements of the current and future allocation of CalAIM funds within the Division. The Mental Health Program Chief position will be responsible for the planning, implementing, and managing of all clinical and programmatic requirements and will oversee the administration of the implementation of CalAIM services within the Division.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Health, Housing, and Homeless Services Division will lack the infrastructure to adequately meet requirements for the amount of funding dedicated to homeless services, resulting in delayed contracting and service provision to unhoused Contra Costa residents.
