RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to accept Grant Award #78-110 from the Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), to pay county an amount up to $1,000,000, for the Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending - Construction, for the period from August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Acceptance of the grant award will result in payment to the County of up to $1,000,000 for a three year period from HRSA. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

This grant will help fund renovations for the Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime (A3) Program Wellness Campus located at 1034 Oak Grove in Concord. The A3 project is a new service to support behavioral health crisis support in the community. Some responses from teams may result in referrals to existing behavioral health services and in some cases law enforcement. The A3 program is a comprehensive behavioral health crisis response program born from community tragedy and the common occurrence of individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis being inappropriately served by law enforcement or emergency medical response when behavioral health interventions may be more appropriate. The goals of A3 are to have a place to call, someone to respond, and a place to go to. The renovation of the Oak Grove Hub will house the Miles Hall Call Center which will accept crisis calls, and house County mobile response personnel, a peer respite center, and urgent care services for clients whose symptoms may not rise to the level of Psychiatric Emergency Services (PES) or other County services. The Oak Grove Hub adds critical components to the system of care to meet the goals identified in the community planning process.

This grant award is being processed late due to an oversight by the Department’s Behavioral Health staff. The grant award letter was received by staff in late August 2022, however, staff was unfamiliar with receiving only an award letter rather than a formal agreement and did not realize it needed Board of Supervisor’s approval.

Grant Award #78-110 will allow Contra Costa County’s Health Services Department to provide additional funding for renovations for the A3 Wellness campus through July 31, 2025.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this grant award is not approved, the County will not receive up to $1,000,000 to renovate the A3 Wellness campus for behavioral health crisis support in the community.
