RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74-378-14 with Contra Costa Interfaith Transitional Housing, Inc. (DBA Hope Solutions), a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $385,477, to provide an on-site, on-demand and culturally appropriate Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) Program to help formerly homeless families, 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 $192,738.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $385,477 and will be funded 100% by Mental Health Services Act revenue. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

The County has contracted with Contra Costa Interfaith Housing since 2019 for on-site, on-demand and culturally appropriate PEI program to help formerly homeless families, all with special needs to improve parenting skills, child and adult life skills, and family communication skills, including providing an after school program at selected low-income housing complexes in East and Central County. Most recently on September 2018, the County Administrator approved and the Purchasing Services Manager executed Novation Contract #74-378-11 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #74-378-12) with Contra Costa Interfaith Housing, Inc., to continue providing such services, for the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020 and included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-378-14 will replace the automatic extension under the prior contract and allow the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, formerly homeless families will not have access to th contractor’s on-site, on-demand and culturally appropriate PEI Program.
