RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #24-385-52 with Bay Area Community Services, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,136,206, to provide mental health outreach and support services for homeless and disabled adults with mental illness at the Don Brown Shelter in East Contra Costa County, for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2023, in an amount not to exceed $568,103.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $1,136,206 and will be funded by 63% Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration ($715,810), 24% Mental Health Services Act ($272,689), and 13% by a Project for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) Grant revenues ($147,707).

BACKGROUND:

The County has been contracting with Bay Area Community Services, Inc., since June 2019 to provide mental health outreach and support services for homeless and disabled adults with mental illness at the Don Brown Shelter in East Contra Costa County. This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing ongoing operational funding for a mental health homeless shelter in East Contra Costa County.

On January 11, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-385-51 with Bay Area Community Services, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $516,458 for the provision of mental health outreach and supportive services at the Don Brown Shelter for homeless and disabled mentally ill adults in East Contra Costa County, for the period from January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2022, in an amount not to exceed $516,458.

Approval of Novation Contract #24-385-52 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County’s homeless adults with mental illness will experience reduced access to core survival and support services at the Don Brown Shelter in East Contra Costa County.
