RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #23-766 with Richmond Community Foundation, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $800,000, to recruit Community Based Organizations (CBOs) to perform outreach and education activities for the Contra Costa CARES Program, for the period from July 1, 2022 through February 28, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this 8-month contract will result in expenditures of up to $800,000 and will be funded 63% by American Rescue Plan Act ($500,000) and 37% by Contra Costa Health Plan Incentive Funding ($300,000).

BACKGROUND:

The goal of the Contra Costa CARES Program is to provide comprehensive primary health care coverage and medical homes to low income, uninsured adults residing in Contra Costa County who are ineligible for full-scope Medi-Cal or Covered California and whose household gross income does not exceed 138% of the Federal Poverty Level. Specialty care, dental, vision, emergency care and hospitalization are not covered benefits of the program.

Richmond Community Foundation will recruit, retain, and coordinate with CBOs including faith-based organizations, to perform outreach and education activities with undocumented and/or uninsured adults ages 27-49 who are ineligible for health insurance. The primary objective is to target, educate/inform, pre-enroll, enroll, and follow up with low-income, immigrant undocumented, and/or uninsured communities who have been frontline workers in Contra Costa County into the Contra Costa CARES Program.

Under Contract #23-766, the contractor’s services will include, but are not limited to, recruitment, retention, and coordination of 10-15 CBOs, initiate and conduct #OneContraCosta Coalition meetings, and provide quarterly reporting to the County, through February 28, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, fewer low income, uninsured adults would have access to primary care services through the Contra Costa CARES Program.
