RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74-363-11 with La Clínica de La Raza, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $288,975, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2021 in an amount not to exceed $144,486.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will be funded 100% by Mental Health Services Act.

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing Latinos residing in Central and East Contra Costa County with screenings for risk factors, such as symptoms of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, reactions to trauma, domestic violence, sleep difficulties, and pain; and by providing education and support to Latino parents and caregivers so that they can support the strong development of their children and youth. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 10, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–363-10 with La Clínica de La Raza, Inc., to provide MHSA PEI services to Latino residents of Central and East County, for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020.

Approval of Novation Contract #74–363–11 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County will not receive mental health risk factor screening for children and adults, behavioral health intervention, and psycho-educational and parenting groups from this contractor.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This MHSA PEI program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: #4 Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing and
#5 Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.
