RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of County Novation Contract #74–377–10 with RYSE, Inc., a California Nonprofit Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $503,019, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services, for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020, in an amount not to exceed $251,506.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded entirely by MHSA. (3% Cost of Living Adjustment)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of the County’s population by engaging youth who are at risk of mental illness or severe emotional disturbance by providing harm-reduction presentations at schools, executing non-discriminatory and non-stigmatizing strategies for facilitating timely access and linkage to mental health treatment, and providing community education to organizations and public agencies on disparate trauma and violence experiences and histories in West Contra Costa County. Services include programming aimed at greater youth acceptance of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning (LGBTQQ) population.

On July 24, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74–377-9 with RYSE, Inc., A California Nonprofit Corporation, for the provision of MHSA PEI services, for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2019.

Approval of Contract #74–377–10 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, Contractor will not provide the health and wellness program which provides youth centered assessment goal setting, support and wellness services or the trauma response and resilience system providing support and response to incidents of violence to diverse cultural communities in West Contra Costa County.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This MHSA PEI program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “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 increases in social connectedness, communication skills, parenting skills, and knowledge of the human service system in Contra Costa County.
