RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74–249-22 with Catholic Charities CYO of the Archdiocese of San Francisco, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $462,460, to provide Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) youth at its St. Vincent’s School for Boys residential facility 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 $231,230.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $462,460 for FY 2021-2022 and will be funded by 50% Federal Medi-Cal ($231,230) and 50% Mental Health Realignment ($231,230) revenues.

BACKGROUND:

This Novation Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing Mental Health TBS services to SED Youth, including Short Term Residential Therapeutic Program (STRTP) services, medication support, crisis intervention, and other mental health services to eligible to high-risk youth who Contra Costa County Behavioral Health authorizes. The contractor has been providing these services since April 2005.

On December 15, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–249-21 with Catholic Charities CYO of the Archdiocese of San Francisco, in an amount not to exceed $527,493, to provide TBS services for SED youth at the St. Vincent School for Boys residential facility for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-249-22 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing services through December 31, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, effective implementation of TBS services and support programs will be delayed leading to reduced level of services for the County’s mental health clients.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children Ready For and Succeeding in School”; “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
