RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #74-622 with Paradise Adolescent Homes, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $110,000, to provide a Short Term Residential Therapeutic Program (STRTP) for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) youth, for the period from January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2021, in an amount not to exceed $110,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted annual expenditures of up to $220,000 and will be funded by 50% Federal Medi-Cal ($110,000) and 50% Mental Health Realignment Funds ($110,000) revenues.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, SED youth requiring STRTP services will not have access to the contractor’s services.

Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).

Under Contract #74-622, the contractor will provide STRTP services to SED youth for the period January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2021.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: (1) Children Ready for and Succeeding in School; (4) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and (5) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.
