RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74–375–7 with Rainbow Community Center of Contra Costa County, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $227,120, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2017, in an amount not to exceed $113,560.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% Mental Health Services Act. (Rate increase) (3% Cost of Living Adjustment [COLA]).

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing a community-based social support program designed to decrease isolation, depression and suicidal ideation among members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning (LGBTQ) community residing in Contra Costa County. On July 7, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74–375-6 with Rainbow Community Center of Contra Costa County, located in Concord, for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2016, for the provision of MHSA PEI services.

Approval of Novation Contract #74–375–7 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract, and allows Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, Contractor will not provide outreach and community engagement events, support groups, in-services, and counseling to the LGBTQ community and their families.

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).
