RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #24-927-25 with Community Health for Asian Americans, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,674,011 to provide mental health services including wraparound and outpatient treatment to children ages 5 to 21 in East and West Contra Costa County, for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2019, in an amount not to exceed $837,006.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 49% Federal Medi-Cal; 49% Mental Health Realignment; 2% Non-Medi-Cal Mental Health Realignment. (3% Cost of Living Adjustment)

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing school and community based mental health services, including: assessments, individual, group and family therapy; medication support, case management, outreach, and crisis intervention services, to an underserved minority population and will result in greater home, community, and school success.

On June 26, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-927-24 with Community Health for Asian Americans for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2018, for the provision of school and community based mental health services.

Approval of Novation Contract #24-927-25 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, children in East and West Contra Costa County would have reduced access to mental health services in schools and the community.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment 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) and a decrease in juvenile offender recidivism as measured by probation database information.
