RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74–301-13 with Desarrollo Familiar, Inc. (DBA Familias Unidas), a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $280,332, to provide a full range of community-based and mental health services under the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Community Services and Supports Program, 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 not to exceed $140,166.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $280,332 and will be funded by 83% by Mental Health Services Act ($233,089) and 17% Federal Medi-Cal ($47,243) revenues. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing a full-service partnership for the 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 adult clients in Contra Costa County. The Behavioral Health Services Department has been contracting with Desarrollo Familiar, Inc. (DBA Familias Unidas) since April 2007.

On January 5, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-301-12 with Desarrollo Familiar, Inc. (DBA Familias Unidas), in an amount not to exceed $136,084, for the provision of full-service partner essential mental health support and services to mentally ill adults for the period January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2021, in an amount not to exceed $136,084.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-301-13 will replace the automatic extension under the prior contract and allow the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer services provided to eligible adult clients in Contra Costa County through the MHSA Community Services and Support Program, resulting in an adverse effect on the community.
