RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #74-037-31 with Contra Costa ARC, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $266,152, 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, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $266,152 for FY 2021-2022 and will be funded 100% by Federal Substance Abuse Mental Health Works revenues.

BACKGROUND:

The Behavioral Health Services Department has been contracting with Contra Costa ARC, since January 2000 to provide mental health services to recipients of the CalWORKs Program and their children. This contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing mental health services to adolescents with emotional and behavioral problems to improve school performance, reduce unsafe behavioral practices, and reduce the need for out-of-home placements. 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.

On February 9, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-037-30 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 in an amount not to exceed $133,076, for the period from January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021 which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2021.

Approval of Contract #74-037-31 allows the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2022.

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.
