RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #24–213–53 with Desarrollo Familiar, Inc., (dba Familias Unidas), a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $268,124, to provide mental health services in West County for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2017, in an amount not to exceed $134,062.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 18% Federal Medi-Cal; 39% Substance Abuse/Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Grant; 43% by Mental Health Realignment. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing information and referrals, consultation and education, and outpatient mental health services for Spanish-speaking, mentally ill clients in West Contra Costa County at Familias Unidas Counseling Center.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On January 12, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24–213–52 with Desarrollo Familiar, Inc., for the provision of mental health services in West County for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2016.

Approval of Novation Contract #24–213–53 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, a significant number of County’s mentally ill, Spanish-speaking adult clients in West County will experience reduced access to the information, referrals, consultation, education, and outpatient mental health services that they need.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
