RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #74–304-13 with Fred Finch Youth Center, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,503,789, to provide mental health services to County transitional aged youth under the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2022, in an amount no to exceed $751,894.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $1,503,789 for FY 2021-2022 and will be funded by 39% Federal Medi-Cal ($586,372) and 61% Mental Health Services Act ($917,417) revenues.

BACKGROUND:

This novation contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing implementation of MHSA Community Services and Supports Program, including providing community-based services, personal services coordination, medication support, crisis intervention, and other mental health services to eligible youth clients in Contra Costa County. The contractor has been providing these services since March 1, 2007.

On December 15, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–304-12 with Fred Finch Youth Center, in an amount not to exceed $1,503,519, to provide implementation of the MHSA Community Services and Supports Program for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-304-13 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, effective implementation of the MHSA Transitional-aged youth services and support programs will be delayed leading to reduced level of services for the County’s mental health clients.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “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).
