APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #25-079-7 with Portia Bell Hume Behavioral Health and Training Center, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,179,313, to provide case management and Rapid Resolution counseling to county residents who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless for the period from October 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in budgeted expenditures in an amount of $1,179,313 and is funded by 50% Adult Protective Services Home Safe Program ($582,079), 30% Public Defender Funds ($358,444), 10% California Emergency Solutions Housing (CESH) ($118,386), 8% Housing and Urban Development Grant ($100,000) and 2% Housing Security Funds ($20,404). (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of county’s population by providing support services to county residents who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, including case management and homelessness Rapid Resolution counseling. Portia Bell Hume Behavioral Health and Training Center has been providing homeless support services to the county since May 2018.

On December 10, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #25-079-3 with Portia Bell Hume Behavioral Health and Training to provide case management and homelessness Rapid Resolution counseling to County residents who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless for the period from October 1, 2019 through June 30, 2021.

On September 8, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment/Extension Agreement #25-079-4 to increase the payment limit by $304,977 to a new payment limit of $749,977, and to extend the termination date from June 30, 2021 to September 30, 2021 for additional support services to county residents who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

On November 17, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment/Extension Agreement #25-079-5 to increase the payment limit by $350,000 to a new payment limit of $1,099,977, and to extend the termination date form September 30, 2021 to September 30, 2022 to provide additional homeless support services.

On December 7, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment/Extension Agreement #25-079-6 to increase the payment limit by $550,000, from $1,099,977 to a new payment limit of $1,649,977 with no change in the term to provide additional homeless support services.

Approval of Contract #25-079-7 will allow the contractor to continue to provide services through June 30, 2023. This contract renewal was delayed due to contractor submitting invoices late which obstructed the contract renewal negotiation process.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, county residents and families that are homeless or at risk of being homeless will not have access to contractor’s support services.
