SUMMARY:
Approval of the Amendments with Pathways Community Services, LLC. and Orange County Asian and Pacific Islander Community Alliance, Inc. for Children and Transitional Age Youth Full Service Partnership/Wraparound Services will provide individualized, strengths-oriented, client-driven services that are more intensive in nature than traditional outpatient services.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On April 27, 2021, your Honorable Board of Supervisors (Board) approved the selection of and Contracts for provision of Children and Transitional Age Youth (TAY) Full Service Partnership/Wraparound (FSP/Wrap) Services with Pathways Community Services, LLC. (PCS) and Orange County Asian and Pacific Islander Community Alliance, Inc. (OCAPICA). The Orange County Preference Policy is not applicable to these Amendments.
The proposed Amendments will allow the following for each provider:
PCS’ Children’s FSP/Wrap amendment will increase salaries so the programs are in line with competitive wages in the current marketplace and increase staffing to expand outreach and engagement services to children in crisis.
PCS’ TAY FSP/Wrap amendment will increase salaries so the programs are in line with competitive wages in the current marketplace.
OCAPICA’s Children’s and TAY FSP/Wrap amendment will increase staffing including psychiatry services and increase salaries so the programs are in line with competitive wages in the current marketplace.
In accordance with the Mental Health Services Act of 2004, each FSP/Wrap program is directed at a specific target population for seriously emotionally disturbed (SED)/severely mentally ill (SMI) children and youth. The target populations are identified below:

Scope of Services
FSP/Wrap programs are, client-centered programs, family-focused where individualized, client-driven service plans are developed. FSP/Wrap programs provide services to clients experiencing a SED and/or a SMI. The programs focus on the strengths of the child, TAY and their families across all life domains in order to promote success in school, employment, safety, wellness and recovery through a “whatever-it-takes” approach. Consistent with the “whatever it takes” approach, the FSP/Wrap programs support clients participation in and engagement with mental health services through targeted funding (referred to as “flex funding”) for items such as, but not limited to, basic living expenses, housing, employment, specialty treatments and transportation. FSP/Wrap services include direct mental health care; medication support services; individual, group and family therapy; crisis intervention; case management; and supportive services in the community targeting job acquisition, school success and housing stability.
Performance Outcomes
Performance outcomes for these programs are measured by state mandated outcome measures. The FSPs evaluate outcomes related to days homeless, days psychiatrically hospitalized and days incarcerated by comparing functioning in the 12 months prior to enrolling in the FSP to functioning during the year being evaluated. PCS and OCAPICA were the prior providers for these services, and the prior contract performance outcomes are represented below.
PCS, Children and Youth FSP/Wrap services demonstrated a decrease in days homeless and psychiatrically hospitalized for FY 2019-20 and 2020-21. PCS experienced a total increase of nine incarceration days for two clients during the two reported fiscal years. Due to the elevated needs of the population that PCS serves, the program continues to engage clients while incarcerated rather than discharging them to ensure clients have supports in place within the community upon release to increase their chances of success. This continued support for clients throughout the period of incarceration results in an increase in the reported number of days incarcerated.
