RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #24-712-9 with Telecare Corporation, a corporation, in an amount not to exceed $2,338,279 to provide and manage services for Hope House, a sixteen (16) bed short-term crisis residential facility (CRF), for mentally ill adults, 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 $1,169,139.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $2,338,279 and will be funded by 70% Mental Health Services Act ($1,636,795) and 30% Federal Medi-Cal ($701,484) revenues. (Rate increase)









BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing a short-term crisis residential facility for adults, age eighteen (18) and older, who require support to avoid hospitalization or are being discharged from the hospital or long-term locked facilities and require step-down care to transition to community living. The Behavioral Health Services Department has been contracting with Telecare Corporation since December 2013.  
  
On December 7, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-712-8 with Telecare Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $2,270,174, for the provision of CRF services at Hope House, a short-term crisis residential facility for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2022, in an amount not to exceed $1,135,087.  
  
Approval of Novation Contract #24-712-9 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing CRF services through June 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County clients in need of crisis residential or step-down care will not have access to this contractor’s services possibly resulting in higher levels of placement, including hospitalization.
