RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74–369–11 with Native American Health Center, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $250,257, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services to families of Native American heritage 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 $125,129.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $250,257 and will be funded 100% by MHSA revenue. (No rate increase)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, Contra Costa County residents will not continue receiving MHSA assistance provided by the program including prevention and early intervention services.

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of County’s population by conducting community-building activities, including scheduled weekly group sessions and quarterly community events for youth, adults, and elders in Richmond. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).

The County has contracted with Native American Health Center, Inc. for community-building activities since 2009. Most recently on September 24, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–369–10 with Native American Health Center, Inc., to provide MHSA PEI services 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 #74–369–11 will replace the automatic extension under the prior contract and allow the contractor to continue providing services, through June 30, 2021.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The recommendation supports one or more of the following children's outcomes: (1) Children Ready for and Succeeding in School; (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.
