BACKGROUND:

The Behavioral Health Services Department has been contracting with NAMI Contra Costa since January 2018 to provide 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.

On September 7, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-554-5 with NAMI Contra Costa, in an amount not to exceed $618,000 for the provision of support to the County’s Family Volunteer Network Program for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2022, in an amount not to exceed $309,000.

On February 1, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract Amendment Agreement #74-554-6 with NAMI Contra Costa, to increase the payment limit by $18,540 from $618,000 to a new payment limit of $636,540 for the provision of additional support to the County’s Family Volunteer Network Program with no change in the term of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2022.
