RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74–381-7 with The Latina Center, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $105,403, to provide prevention and early intervention services for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2017, in an amount not to exceed $52,701.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% Mental Health Service Act (MHSA) (3% Cost of Living Adjustment [COLA]). (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing culturally and linguistically specific parenting education and support to at least 300 Latino parents and caregivers in West Contra Costa County supporting the strong emotional, social and educational development of children and youth ages 0-15, and reduces verbal, physical and emotional abuse.

On July 7, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-381-6 with The Latina Center, for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2016, for the provision of MHSA prevention and early intervention services.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-381-7 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County’s youth will have reduced access to MHSA PEI services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This MHSA-PEI 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 connectedness, communication skills, parenting skills, and knowledge of the human service system in Contra Costa County.
