FINANCIAL IMPACT
This item will not impact Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost) as it is non-financial in nature. An award from the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), County Contract No. 22-1096 (Grant), provided the funding supporting Agreement No. 22-1097, known as Subcontractor Agreement No. 7460-CA (Subcontractor Agreement).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Crisis Care Mobile Unit (CCMU) grant allowed for the development of the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) Crisis Contact Center and expanded the Mobile Crisis Response Unit, commonly referred to as the Community Crisis Response Teams, providing County residents with one phone number to access live behavioral health crisis support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The CCMU grant also provided for 10 dedicated field response staff who are dispatched into the field, when safe and appropriate, for the reported crisis to provide one-on-one crisis intervention where the client is experiencing the crisis.
On November 15, 2022 (Item No. 24), the Board of Supervisors (Board) accepted the Grant from DHCS for Community Mobile Crisis and Non-Crisis Services, in the amount of $7,703,122, for the period of September 15, 2021, through June 30, 2025. Item No. 24 also approved the Subcontractor Agreement with Advocates for Human Potential, Inc. (AHP), on behalf of DHCS, to establish or enhance existing CCMUs, including non-standard terms, in the amount of $7,703,122, for the period of September 15, 2021, through June 30, 2025.
Approval of the recommended Release and Assignment Agreement acknowledges that the Grant with DHCS and the Subcontractor Agreement with AHP have reached the end of their terms, acknowledges receipt of the final invoice, and certifies that property purchased under the Subcontractor Agreement will be fully paid, as approved, upon payment of its final invoice to AHP. It also certifies that AHP’s responsibilities under the Subcontractor Agreement have been fulfilled. Upon AHP’s receipt of the final invoice, the Subcontract Agreement acknowledges that DBH will be paid the remaining grant balance of $493,133.84.
