RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #74–313–7 with Community Health for Asian Americans, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $188,500, to provide implementation of County’s Mental Health Active Community Supports and Service Teams (ACSST) Project for the period from January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2012, in an amount not to exceed $188,500.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 50% by Federal Medi-Cal (FFP) and 50% by State Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT). (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing implementation of County’s ACSST Project, including Wraparound services and other community-based mental health services, medication support, and crisis intervention in East Contra Costa County.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On January 18, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74–313–6 with Community Health for Asian Americans, a non-profit corporation, for the period from January 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2011, for the provision of Mental Health Active Community Supports and Service Teams (ACSST) Project.

Approval of Contract #74–313–7 will allow the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2012.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, at-risk youth in County’s Families Forward program in East Contra Costa County will not receive needed wraparound mental health services, and may require higher levels of treatment.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This MHSA 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).
