RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #24–429–72 with Ujima Family Recovery Services, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $3,273,091 to provide residential and outpatient treatment for pregnant and parenting women and their young children, for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $3,273,091 for FY 2021-22 and will be funded by 78% Drug Medi-Cal ($2,551,894); 9% Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Perinatal Set-Aside ($295,929); 10% SAPT Block Grant ($321,345) and 3% Assembly Bill (AB) 109 ($103,923) revenues. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

The Behavioral Health Services Department has been contracting with Ujima Family Recovery Services, since April 2017 to provide residential and outpatient treatment for pregnant and parenting women and their young children. This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing family-centered alcohol and drug treatment services to pregnant and parenting women and their children, in order to prevent perinatal substance abuse and improve birth outcomes.

On September 8, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24–429–70, with Ujima Family Recovery Services to provide residential and outpatient treatment for pregnant and parenting women and their young children in the amount of $3,485,421, for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

On December 15, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment Agreement #24–429–71, to modify rates to continue to provide residential and outpatient treatment for pregnant and parenting women and their young children, with no change in the original payment limit of $3,485,421, and no change in the original term of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

Approval of Contract #24–429–72 will allow this contractor to continue to provide services through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, pregnant and parenting women will not receive the alcohol and drug treatment services they need which may result in perinatal substance abuse and additional risk to their babies.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This Alcohol and Drug Abuse program supports the Board of Supervisors’ “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing” community outcome by providing parenting education, stability, and safety for mothers (and their children) and pregnant women who are alcohol and drug dependent, while they are in substance abuse treatment. Expected outcomes include delivery of drug-free babies, decreased use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, reduction in the number of relapses, and creation of a sober social network.
