From: Anna Roth, Health Services Director
Report Title: Novation Contract #74-405-13 with LAO Family Community Development Inc.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74-405-13 with LAO Family Community Development Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $216,395, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services for diverse refugee, immigrant, limited English and low income U.S. born community members in Contra Costa County for the period from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $216,395 for FY 2023-2024 and will be funded 100% by Mental Health Services Act revenues. (No rate increase)
BACKGROUND:
This Novation Contract meets the social needs of county’s population by providing MHSA PEI services to the underserved Asian and Southeast Asian immigrant and refugee population in Contra Costa County. These services are aimed to help support older adults and their families by strengthening their communication and positively impacting the health and mental health of program participants. The contractor has been providing these MHSA PEI services since July 2010.
On October 4, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-405-12 with LAO Family Community Development Inc., in an amount not to exceed $208,073, for the provision of MHSA PEI services to the underserved Asian and Southeast Asian older adults and families in Contra Costa County for the period from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2023 in an amount not to exceed $104,036.
Approval of Novation Contract #74-405-13 replaces the automatic extension under the prior contract and allows the contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2024.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, effective implementation of MHSA PEI services and support programs will be delayed leading to reduced level of services for county’s mental health clients.
