RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74-037-28 with Contra Costa ARC, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $190,000, to provide mental health services to recipients of the CalWORKs Program and their children, including individual, group and family collateral counseling, case management, and medication management services to reduce barriers to employment for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020 in an amount not to exceed $95,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Substance Abuse Mental Health Works. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On July 24, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-037-27 with Contra Costa ARC for the provision of mental health services to recipients of the CalWORKs Program and their children, including individual, group and family collateral counseling, case management, and medication management services to reduce barriers to employment for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2019.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-037-28 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, CalWORKs recipients will not have sufficient access to the children’s mental health services as needed.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports one of the Board of Supervisors’ five community outcomes: “Families that are safe, stable and nurturing.” Expected program outcome is increased number of CalWORKs participants ready to return to the labor force and earn income after they and their families receive mental health services under this contract.
