RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to accept a Grant Award #28-900 from the California Institute for Behavioral Health Solutions, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $503,403, for prevention screening, intervention, and treatment services to reduce Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) for youth in East and West Contra Costa County, for the period from July 1, 2019 through August 31, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $503,403 payable to the County. No County match required.

BACKGROUND:

This Grant is needed to expand access to youth-friendly prevention, screening, intervention and treatment services to reduce opioid use disorder (OUD) among youth ages 13 through 24 years. Services will be provided to high school youth in Antioch, Pittsburg and West Contra Costa Unified School Districts, Juvenile Hall, Golden Gate Community Schools operated by Contra Costa Office of Education, Calli House Youth Shelter and Concord Homeless Shelter. Data from the California Opioid Overdose Surveillance Dashboard show that areas of West and East Contra Costa, including Richmond, Pittsburg and Antioch, have some of the highest rates of opioid overdose deaths for all ages in the county, indicating that misuse of opioids and OUD is an issue in these areas. Because most adults with OUD started using opioids before age 25, misuse of opioids and OUD among youth and young adults in these areas is a concern.

Approval of Grant Award #28-900 with allow County to receive funds for prevention screening, intervention, and treatment services for youth to reduce OUD through August 31, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this award is not accepted, County will not receive funds to reduce opioid use disorder and opioid overdose among youth in East and West Contra Costa County.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
