Approve first amendment to Agreement No. 24-193 with the City of West Sacramento to reduce fiscal year (FY) 2024-25 by $221,243.85; increase FY2025-26 by $93,051.70; and increase FY2026-27 by $78,192.15 for an overall reduction of $50,000 and a new contract maximum of $2,647,200, for the period of July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027 for the provision of homeless services via the Behavioral Health Bridge Housing program.

On or about June 23, 2023, the California Department of Health Care Services (“DHCS”) awarded funding to County to operate bridge housing settings to address the immediate and sustainable housing needs of people experiencing homelessness who have serious behavioral health conditions, including serious mental illness (“SMI”) and/or substance use disorder (“SUD”).

On or about October 3, 2023, County entered into an agreement with Advocates for Human Potential, Inc. to serve as the administrative entity supporting County’s implementation of the Behavioral Health Bridge Housing (“BHBH”) Program.

On or about June 25, 2024, County entered into an agreement with the City of West Sacramento (“City”) to provide these services. Under this agreement, City has provided temporary emergency/interim housing for homeless individuals with behavioral health needs and/or substance use disorders, including thirty-one (31) beds and two (2) local motel locations. The City has also provided the following services under this agreement:

· Low intensity case management services aided at stabilization, including development of a case plan to obtain permanent housing
· Housing navigation services
· Peer support services
· Employment assistance

Approval of this amendment reduces the overall funding for this agreement by $50,000 by reducing FY2024-25 in the amount of $221,243.85. This reduction aligns the funding to the adopted budget for FY2024-25.

Even though the overall agreement funding is being reduced for FY2024-25, fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27 are being increased by $93,051.70 and $78,192.15 respectively. 

County Counsel has approved this Amendment as to form.
Advocates for Human Potential

On or about April 30, 2024, the then acting Yolo County Procurement Manager or designee approved a sole source procurement for these services. A sole source was deemed appropriate for these services because the City of West Sacramento was one of only two (2) cities willing to participate in the BHBH Program and was committed to adding beds for individuals with a history of SUD or SMI within the timeframe and requirements set by the State. The BHBH grant obtained by County required that County add additional beds to its inventory within twelve (12) months.
