Summary of Request

On August 25, 2021, the Mental Health Treatment Act Citizens’ Oversight Committee voted to recommend that Measure B funds be used to contribute to the operations of Crisis Respite Services in the city of Fort Bragg for the Mendocino Coast.  Many stakeholders working in the mental health field expressed firm commitment to the project, such as the City of Fort Bragg Homeless Ad Hoc Committee, the Fort Bragg Police Department, Adventist Health, Redwood Quality Management Company DBA Anchor Health Management, and Redwood Community Services, Inc. (RCS).

 

Adventist Health has offered to lease out a facility specifically for Crisis Respite Services, and through the proposed Agreement, RCS will provide such services at the facility using a similar model as the Madrone House in Redwood Valley.

 

Services under the proposed Agreement are retroactive to May 11, 2023, and will cover the costs of all clients served from this date forward. This Agreement was not executed prior to the May 11, 2023 start date due to fluctuation in site licensing start date requirements, resulting in an extension of internal processing and finalization times.
