RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74–526-5 with Community Options for Families and Youth, Incorporated, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $2,269,767, to provide mental health services including multisystemic therapy (MST) and functional family therapy for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) adolescents and their families, for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, including a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020 in an amount not to exceed $1,134,884.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded by 40% Federal Medi-Cal, 20% Mental Health Realignment, and 40% Probation/Mental Health Service Act. (Rate increase)  







BACKGROUND:

On December 18, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-526-3, as amended by Amendment Agreement #74-526-4, with Community Options for Families and Youth, Inc., for the provision of mental health services including MST and a Functional Family Therapy Program for SED adolescents who are discharged from Juvenile Hall and the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility, for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 which included a six-month extension through December 31, 2019.  
  
Approval of Novation Contract #74-526-5 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing mental health services through June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, SED children and adolescents involved in the juvenile justice system will not have access to Contractor’s mental health services which may result in a reduction of services and placement in higher levels of care.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This Board action supports three of the Board of Supervisors' children's 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).
