RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74–379–9 with People Who Care Children Association, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $223,102, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2019 in an amount not to exceed $111,551.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 100% by Mental Health Services Act. (3% Cost of Living Adjustment)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing work experience for 200 multicultural youth residing in the Pittsburg/Bay Point communities, as well as programs aimed at increasing educational success among youth who are either at-risk or high-risk of dropping out of school, or committing a repeat offense.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On July 11, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–379-8 with People Who Care Children Association, to provide MHSA PEI services for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2018.

Approval of Novation Contract #74–379–9 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, at-risk youth from East Contra Costa County will have reduced access to job training and other programs which are aimed at increasing educational success, due to delayed implementation of the Youth Development Program as defined in the Mental Health Services Act.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This MHSA-PEI program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “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 increases in social connectedness, communication skills, parenting skills, and knowledge of the human service system in Contra Costa County
