RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74–375-13 with Rainbow Community Center of Contra Costa County, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $828,312, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning and Intersex+ (LGBTQI+) population in Contra Costa County for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2023, in an amount not to exceed $414,156.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in annual budgeted expenditures of up to $828,312 for FY 2022-2023 and will be funded 100% by Mental Health Services Act revenues. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by providing a community-based social support program designed to decrease isolation, depression and other risk factors among members of the LGBTQI+ community residing in Contra Costa County. The contractor has been providing these services since July 1, 2009.

On December 14, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74–375-12 with Rainbow Community Center of Contra Costa County, in an amount not to exceed $804,186, for the provision of MHSA PEI services for the LGBTQI+ population in Contra Costa County 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 $402,093.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-375-13 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing MHSA PEI services through June 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, effective implementation of MHSA PEI services and support programs will be delayed leading to reduced level of services for the County’s mental health clients within the LGBTQI+ community in Contra Costa County.

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).
