RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to accept Grant Award #28-978-1 with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), to increase the amount payable to the County by $497,926, from $499,896 to a new amount payable of $997,822 and extend the term from September 29, 2022 through September 29, 2023 to continue the Contra Costa Health Services' Opioid Multiagency Response Initiative.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Acceptance of the grant award will result in additional funds of up to $497,926 to the County for the period from September 29, 2022 through September 29, 2023, from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services SAMHSA. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

The goal of this grant is to expand and enhance the Opioid Multiagency Response Initiative, which was the first of its kind in the State of California. Through this initiative three Divisions of Contra Costa Health Services: Emergency Medical Services, Public Health and Contra Costa Regional Medical Center will collaborate with America Medical Response (AMR), the County’s primary contracted transport 911 provider. This collaboration will provide resources, training, and support to paramedics distributing leave-behind naloxone kits and administering buprenorphine and naloxone in the field and establish a seamless referral pathway to connect individuals with opioid use disorder to outpatient medical-assisted treatment and other resources for recovery. The County has been receiving these grant funds since September 2021.

On October 5, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Grant Award #28-978 with SAMHSA, to pay the County an amount up to $499,896 for the Opioid Multiagency Response Initiative, for the period September 30, 2021 though September 29, 2022

Approval of Grant Award #28-978-1 will allow the County’s Health Services Department’s Opioid Multiagency Response Initiative to continue through September 29, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this grant is not approved, the County will not receive additional funds to continue the Opioid Multiagency Response Initiative for another year.
