Summary of Request

On August 11, 2020, Mendocino County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) released Request for Proposal (RFP) No. MH-20-005-RFP for Crisis Residential Treatment Facility Operations. The RFP resulted in submission of one qualified proposal from Redwood Community Services, Inc. (RCS). BHRS reviewed the proposal, and awarded the Agreement to RCS. The Agreement was executed by the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors (BOS) on March 15, 2022, through which RCS provides Residential Treatment Facility operations and crisis residential services on a transitional basis to Mendocino County adults, age 18 years or older, who are experiencing a mental health crisis. The goal of the program is to reduce the utilization of psychiatric inpatient facilities. The length of stay is 30 days, with an average length of stay of 14 days. RCS provides these services with a goal to transition clients from higher, more expensive levels of mental health services, to more independent, lower levels of care and housing in the community.

 

The proposed Amendment to Agreement No. BOS-22-063, increases the amount of funds available for second-year operational costs for the Crisis Residential Treatment Facility. Facility operations are funded through Medi-Cal, Realignment, and Mental Health Services Act, and a reduction in psychiatric hospitalization costs as a direct result of the Crisis Residential Treatment Facility will allow for redirection of funding to cover the additional operational cost.
