RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #24-751-87 with Anka Behavioral Health, Incorporated, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $4,184,765, to provide community services, support programs and residential mental health services to County clients for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, and includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2019, in an amount not to exceed $2,092,383.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 62% by Mental Health Realignment and 38% by Federal Medi-Cal. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing a continuum of services to residents transitioning from crisis residential care to transitional residential care and keeps these clients out of higher levels of care, including state hospitals.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On December 19, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-751-86 with Anka Behavioral Health, Incorporated to provide community services; support programs and residential mental health services including vocational, community living, socialization, and Medi-Cal rehabilitative programs to County clients, 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 #24-751-87 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, clients will not receive mental health services provided by this contractor.
