Board approves $7.678M in behavioral-health contract amendments covering youth and adult residential services
Summary
The board approved multiple contract amendments for specialty mental-health and residential services, including a $6.2 million amendment with Redwood Community Services for foster youth programs and additional amendments with Manzanita House and Clover Valley Guest Home for adult residential support services.
The Lake County Board of Supervisors approved a set of amendments to existing behavioral-health contracts to continue specialty mental-health and residential support services.
Key actions approved: - Amendment No. 4 to the agreement with Redwood Community Services Inc. to provide specialty mental-health services for the Lake County RAP program, foster care and intensive services foster care (ISFC) programs for fiscal years 2022-2025 in the amount of $6,200,000. - Amendment No. 2 to the agreement with Manzanita House for adult residential support services and specialty mental-health services for fiscal years 2022-2025 in the amount of $828,000. - Amendment No. 2 to the agreement with Clover Valley Guest Home for adult residential support services and specialty mental-health services for fiscal years 2022-2025 in the amount of $650,000.
Director of Behavioral Health (presenting official) said the multi-year agreements support board priorities to expand and sustain specialty mental-health services for youth and adults in the county. The board heard praise that Redwood has expanded services in South County/Clearlake, where need is high.
The board approved each amendment by voice vote.
Why it matters: The contract amendments fund services for foster youth, intensive foster-care mental-health treatment and residential supports for adults, including programs that provide placements and wraparound services. The amendments extend funding across multiple fiscal years and reflect ongoing purchases of community-based care.
