RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74–526-1 with Community Options for Families and Youth, Incorporated, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $567,904, to provide mental health services and Functional Family Therapy for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed adolescents for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 and includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2018 in an amount not to exceed $283,952.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 45% by Federal Medi-Cal and 55% by the Probation Mentally Ill Offenders Crime Reduction Grant. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On October 25, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-526 with Community Options for Families and Youth, Inc., for the provision of mental health services including a Functional Family Therapy Program for adolescents discharged from Juvenile Hall and the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility for the period from July 1, 2016 through July 31, 2017, which included a six-month extension through December 31, 2017.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-526-1 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing mental health services through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, seriously emotionally disturbed children and adolescents involved in the juvenile justice system will not have access to the contractor’s mental health services, which may result in a reduction of services and placement in higher levels of care.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors' community outcomes: “Children Ready For and Succeeding in School”; “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).
