RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #25-078 with Shelter, Inc. of Contra Costa County, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $2,281,484, to provide housing assistance to Seriously and Persistently Mentally Ill (SMPI) youth and adults for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% Mental Health Services Act. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of the County’s population in that it provides support services to County residents that are homeless, and have a diagnosis of mental illness or a dual-diagnosis of mental illness and substance abuse, and are receiving services of Contra Costa County Mental Health or other approved referral agencies.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On October 25, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-314-7, as amended by Amendment Agreement #74-314-8, with Shelter, Inc. of Contra Costa County, for the period from August 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, for the provision of housing assistance to SMPI youth and adults. Monitoring of this Contract changed from Mental Health Services Division to Health, Housing and Homeless Services Division under Contract #25-078.

Approval of Contract #25-078 will allow Contractor to continue providing housing assistance through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, SMPI youth and adults will not receive the housing assistance they need, putting them at risk for remaining homeless and requiring higher levels of care for mental illness and/or substance abuse.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
