RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74–304-8 with Fred Finch Youth Center, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,400,642, to provide implementation of the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Community Services and Supports Program, for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2016, in an amount not to exceed $700,321.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Novation Contract is funded 39% Federal Medi-Cal; 61% Mental Health Services Act (Prop 63). (No Rate Increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Novation Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing implementation of MHSA Community Services and Supports Program, including providing community-based services, personal services coordination, medication support, crisis intervention, and other mental health services to eligible adult clients in Contra Costa County.

On January 20, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–304-7 with Fred Finch Youth Center, for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2015, to provide implementation of the MHSA Community Services and Supports Program.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-304-8 replaces the automatic extension and allows Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, effective implementation of the MHSA Transitional-aged youth services and support programs will be delayed leading to reduced level of services for County’s mental health clients.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “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).
