RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74-554-4 with NAMI Contra Costa, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $618,000, to provide a Family Volunteer Network Program to support families, significant others, and loved ones of consumers experiencing mental health issues for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2021, in an amount not to exceed $309,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Mental Health Services Act (MHSA). (No Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

Contractor will continue providing consultation and support to the Family Volunteer Network Program to support families in Contra Costa County who have loved ones with severe and persistent mental illness. This program addresses the unique needs of the participants in developing coping strategies and handling challenges posed by mental illness within their families.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On June 11, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-554-3 with NAMI Contra Costa for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020 for the provision of support to the County’s Family Volunteer Network Program.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-554-4 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

lf this contract is not approved, families will not receive the support they need from this vendor to support loved ones with mental illness.
