RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74-376-6 with Center for Human Development, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $133,000, to provide Mental Health Service Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) Services for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2016, in an amount not to exceed $66,500.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by MHSA. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing MHSA PEI services to underserved cultural communities and youth in East County including implementation of Contractor’s African American Wellness Program and Empowerment Program. These programs will promote physical wellness and mental health in the African American community and emotional health and community connections among Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, and Queer (LGBTQ) youth and their allies. On August 12, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-376-5 with Center for Human Development for the provision of MHSA PEI services, for the period July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2015. Approval of Novation Contract #74-376-6 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing MHSA PEI services, through June 30, 2016.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer mental health and wellness services available to underserved African American communities and LGBTQ youth in East County resulting in greater isolation within the community.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children Ready For and Succeeding in School”; “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
