RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #24-385-49 with Bay Area Community Services, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,027,741, to provide mental health outreach and support services for homeless and disabled adults with mental illness at the Don Brown Shelter in East Contra Costa County, 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 $513,870.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded by 70% Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 16% Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) and 14% by a Project for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) Grant. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing ongoing operational funding for a mental health homeless shelter in East Contra Costa County.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On November 6, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-385-46 (as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #24-385-47 and #24-385-48) with Bay Area Community Services, Inc., for the provision mental health outreach and supportive services at the Don Brown Shelter for homeless and disabled mentally ill adults in East Contra Costa County, for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, which included a six month automatic extension through December 31, 2019.

Approval of Contract #24-385-49 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, County’s homeless adults with mental illness will experience reduced access to core survival and support services at the Don Brown Shelter in East Contra Costa County.
