RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #24–213–59 with Desarrollo Familiar, Inc. (dba Familias Unidas), a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $145,817, to provide referral, consultation and education, and outpatient mental health services in West Contra Costa County 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 $145,817.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $291,634 and will be funded 5% Federal Medi-Cal ($14,582), 39% Substance Abuse/Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Grant ($113,636) and 56% Mental Health Realignment ($163,417) revenues. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

The Behavioral Health Services Department has been contracting with Desarrollo Familiar, Inc. (dba Familias Unidas), since March 1981. This Contract meets the social needs of county’s population by providing information and referrals, consultation and education, and outpatient mental health services for Spanish-speaking, mentally ill clients in West Contra Costa County at Familias Unidas Counseling Center.

On October 22, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–213–56 with Desarrollo Familiar, Inc. (dba Familias Unidas), for the provision of referral, consultation and education, and outpatient mental health services in West Contra Costa County for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020. On April 28, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #24-213-57, to modify the rate schedule for the period April 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020 due to COVID-19. On July 28, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #24-213-58, to modify the rate schedule for the period July 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 due to COVID-19.

Approval of Contract #24–213–59 will allow the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, a significant number of county’s mentally ill, Spanish-speaking adult clients in West Contra Costa County will experience reduced access to the information, referrals, consultation, education, and outpatient mental health services that they need.
