RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #24-409-35 with West Contra Costa Youth Services Bureau, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $3,135,384, to provide Wraparound and Y-Team Collaborative services to to severely emotionally disturbed children for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2017, in an amount not to exceed $1,567,692.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 50% Federal Financial Participation and 50% County Mental Health Realignment. (3% Cost of Living Adjustment [COLA])

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing child-family team facilitators and other wraparound services to families of children with serious emotional and behavioral disturbances; facilitates multi-agency collaborative service delivery; and minimizes the need for crisis services and involvement with the Juvenile Justice System.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On February 2, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-409-34, with The West Contra Costa Youth Services Bureau, for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2016, for the provision of wraparound and Y-Team Collaborative services to SED children.

Approval of Novation Contract #24-409-35, replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services, through June 30, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer intensive school-based mental health services available in West Contra Costa County to students enrolled in the school district and their families.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors community outcomes: Children ready for and succeeding in school; Families that are safe, stable, nurturing; and Communities that are safe and provide a high quality of life for children and families. Expected outcomes include all goals identified by Children’s Statewide System of Care guidelines including an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS) and decreased use of acute care system.
