RESOLUTION INTRODUCED BY THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE TO RENEW DIGITAL SOCIAL CARE NETWORK SERVICES FOR SULLIVAN COUNTY AT A REDUCED RATE
WHEREAS, the Division of Health and Human Services has implemented a local social care network with referral technology to address issues related to social determinants of health across Sullivan County; and
WHEREAS, the referral technology for the network has been provided by Unite Us, 217 Broadway Floor 8, New York, NY after winning an initial contract via RFP #R-23-05 (Provide a Social Care Network to Sullivan County Government & Community Partners); and
WHEREAS, a Medicaid demonstration authorized by Section 1115 of the Social Security Act to expand social determinants of health services across New York State enabled the Hudson Valley Care Coalition to establish a regional Social Care Network within which the Division of Health of Human Services is willing and able to participate; and
WHEREAS, the Unite Us business model provides opportunities for community-based non-profit organizations to join the social care network and receive training in its use at no cost; and
WHEREAS, the Unite Us contract will be extended from our original agreement May 1, 2026 to May 1, 2028; with a more than $273,000 reduction in local share cost due to the availability of Medicaid demonstration funding to support regional Social Care Networks.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Sullivan County Legislature hereby authorizes the Sullivan County Manager to enter into contract for up to three years with Unite Us for the purpose of renewing referral technology services for Sullivan County for a total cost not to exceed $165,506.00, subject to annual budget appropriation, as follows:
2025-2026 = $52,500.00
2026-2027 = $55,125.00
2027-2028 = $57,881.00
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that said agreement to be in such form as the County Attorney shall approve.
