RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #74-624 with The Alliance for Community Wellness, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $304,210 to provide substance use disorder treatment services for adolescents for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $304,210 and will be funded 100% by Contra Costa Probation revenues.

BACKGROUND:

The Behavioral Health Services Department is in its first year contracting with The Alliance for Community Wellness. This contract meets the social needs of county’s population by providing mental health services to adolescents with emotional and behavioral problems to improve school performance, reduce unsafe behavioral practices, and reduce the need for out-of-home placements. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Under new Contract #74-624, the contractor will provide substance use disorder treatment services for adolescents needing outpatient services for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, Contra Costa County adolescents will not receive substance use disorder treatment services needed to improve school performance, reduce unsafe behavioral practices, and reduce the need for out-of-home placements.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: 1,4 & 5
