RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74-554-5 with NAMI Contra Costa, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $618,000, to provide a Family Volunteer Network Program to support families, significant others, and loved ones of consumers experiencing mental health issues, for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2022, in an amount not to exceed $309,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $618,000 for FY 2021-2022 and will be funded 100% by Mental Health Services Act (MHSA). (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

The Behavioral Health Services Department has been contracting with NAMI Contra Costa since January 2018 to provide consultation and support to the Family Volunteer Network Program to support families in Contra Costa County who have loved ones with severe and persistent mental illness. This program addresses the unique needs of the participants in developing coping strategies and handling challenges posed by mental illness within their families.

On July 28, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-554-4 with NAMI Contra Costa, in an amount not to exceed $618,000 for the provision of support to the County’s Family Volunteer Network Program for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2021, in an amount not to exceed $309,000.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-554-5 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, families will not receive the support they need from this vendor to support loves ones with mental illness.
