RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74–315–10 with Community Options for Families and Youth, Incorporated, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $2,551,176, to provide Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS), Multisystemic Therapy and Functional Family Therapy for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2016 in an amount not to exceed $1,275,588.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded (43% Federal Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment; 22% County Realignment; 25% Mental Health Services Act; 10% Probation Mentally Ill Offenders Crime Reduction Grant. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

The Contract meets the social needs of the County by providing TBS to seriously emotionally disturbed children who have been discharged from a hospital or have failed in other placements. Contractor shall also provide a Multisystemic Behavioral and Functional Family Therapy program for adolescents who are discharged from Juvenile Hall and the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility. On December 2, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–315–9 with Community Options for Families and Youth, Incorporated for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2015, for the provision of TBS and Multisystemic Behavioral Therapy. Approval of Novation Contract #74–315–10 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services, through June 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, seriously emotionally disturbed children and adolescents involved in the juvenile justice system will not have access to Contractor’s mental health services which may result in a reduction of services and placement in higher levels of care.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This TBS 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).
