RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74–051–25 with STAND! For Families Free of Violence, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,464,042, to provide mental health services including respite, mentoring services and emergency placement for County referred children and their families, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2018 in an amount not to exceed $732,021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 50% Federal Medi-Cal; 50% State Early and Periodic Screening and Treatment (EPSDT). (3% Cost of Living Adjustment)

BACKGROUND:

On July 19, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-051-24 with STAND! For Families Free of Violence, for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2017, for the provision of mental health services including, respite, mentoring services and emergency placement to County referred-clients.

Approval of Novation Contract #74–051–25 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows Contractor to continue providing mental health services, through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Contract is not approved, children who have been discharged from hospitals or have failed in other placements will not have access to Contractor’s Mental Health services resulting in increased family stress and more out-of-home placements.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

These programs support the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children Ready For and Succeeding in School”; “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).
