RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #74-587 with Greater Richmond Interfaith Program, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $147,585, to provide Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services for California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) participants, for the period from November 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by CalWORKs Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services (SAMHWorks) Funds.

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing specialized substance abuse treatment services so that adults with co-occurring mental disorders are provided an opportunity to achieve sobriety and recover from the effects of alcohol and other drug use, become self-sufficient, and return to their families as productive individuals.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Under Contract #74-587, the Contractor will provide SAMHWorks services including, but not limited to, support with stabilizing housing and life skills, employment and education resources, conduct parenting classes and therapeutic group services to CalWORKs participants, through June 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County’s clients will not have access to Contractor’s services, which may result in a reduction in the levels of service to the community.

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).
