RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #24–213–56 with Desarrollo Familiar, Inc. (dba Familias Unidas), a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $291,635, to provide referral, consultation and education, and outpatient mental health services in West Contra Costa County for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020, in an amount not to exceed $145,817.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded by 5% Federal Medi-Cal, 39% Substance Abuse/Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Grant and 56% Mental Health Realignment. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of 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 Familias Unidas Counseling Center.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On December 18, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–213–55 with Desarrollo Familiar, Inc. (dba Familias Unidas), for the provision of referral, consultation and education, and outpatient mental health services in West Contra Costa County, for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2019.

Approval of Novation Contract #24–213–56 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this novation contract is not approved, a significant number of 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 that they need.
