RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, to execute contracts, subject to approval to form by County Counsel, with reentry service providers in an aggregate amount not to exceed $4,210,000 to provide employment, housing, mentoring, family reunification, and legal services for the AB 109 Public Safety Realignment Program, for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The contracts have an aggregate cost of $4,210,000 for FY 17/18 and are funded 100% with AB 109 Public Safety Realignment revenue.

BACKGROUND:

On January 13, 2017 the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Executive Committee approved a FY 2017-18 AB 109 Public Safety Realignment Budget for recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. The Recommended Budget included $4,867,201 for "Community Programs." Today's action by the Board of Supervisors authorizes $4,210,000 of that total for the renewal of "Community Programs" contracts awarded from the 2016 RFP/Q process.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In 2016 the CAO conducted a Request for Proposals/Qualifications (RFP/Q) process to select community based agencies to provide reentry services to AB 109 clients for employment training and placement, housing, legal services, mentoring and family reunification services, and the management of the Central-East Reentry Network. The RFP/Qs specified that contract terms were annual (on a fiscal year basis) with up to two one-year renewals possible with the successful performance of contract deliverables. On May 10, 2016 and Oct. 18, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved and authorized the award of the Community Programs contracts.

On February 6, 2017 the Public Protection Committee approved the FY 2017-18 AB 109 Public Safety Realignment Budget, which included funding for the following "Community Programs" contract allocations:

Employment Support and Placement Services - $2,000,000

Goodwill Industries: $900,000 for Central County and East County
Rubicon Programs, Inc.: $1,100,000 for West County and East County

Central-East Reentry Network - $1,015,000

HealthRIGHT360: Network Management Services: $680,000 (includes $75,000 one-time carry-forward, approved by CCP on May 5, 2017 for Salesforce data system development)
Mz. Shirliz Transitional: Transitional Housing: $150,000

Short and Long-Term Housing Access - $1,030,000

SHELTER, Inc.: $980,000 for countywide housing services
Reach Fellowship - Housing for Women and Children (in Richmond): $50,000

Mentoring & Family Reunification Services - $200,000

Men and Women of Purpose - Mentoring : $110,000
Center for Human Development - Family Reunification Services: $90,000

Civil Legal Services - $150,000

Bay Area Legal Aid: $150,000

The CAO's Office of Reentry & Justice (ORJ) has been monitoring contractor performance for each of these contracts and recommends renewal of these existing contracts, per the RFP/Q specifications.

The ORJ is also presently conducting a Request for Interest (RFI) process, per County policy on contract renewals not exceeding three years in length, to select community-based contractors to provide the operation of the West County Reentry Resource Center (presently known as the "Reentry Success Center,"), and the provision of the Central-East Reentry Network reentry services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Negative action would result in these contracts not being executed and a disruption of services to the AB 109 population.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
