RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74-360-7 with Jewish Family and Community Services East Bay, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $164,469, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services 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 $82,235.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing culturally grounded, community-directed mental health education and navigation services to 350-400 refugees and immigrants of all ages in the Latino, Afghan, Bosnian, Iranian, and Russian communities of Central and East Contra Costa County. On September 15, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-360-6 with the Jewish Family and Children’s Services of the East Bay (now know as the Jewish Family and Community Services East Bay), for the period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2016.

Approval of Novation Contract #74–360-7 will replace the six-month automatic extension and allow the Contractor to continue to provide MHSA Prevention and Early Intervention services through June 30, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer services provided to eligible adult clients in Contra Costa County through the Mental Health Services Act, Proposition 63 Community Services and Support Program.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This MHSA-PEI 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 increases in social connectedness, communication skills, parenting skills, and knowledge of the human service system in Contra Costa County.
