Summary of Request:
Redwood Community Services (RCS) has been arranging specialty mental health services under the direction and supervision of Redwood Quality Management Company (RQMC) on behalf of Mendocino County. The County is amending a contract with RCS for arranging and paying for specialty mental health services providing 24/7 supportive living services, as well as case management to clients 18 years old and above in Mendocino County who are court ordered in to Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT), and/or Lanterman, Petris & Short Act (LPS) services. Placements in RCS Supportive Housing are a more cost-effective way to provide mandated supportive living requirements to our AOT and LPS clients in lieu of more costly out of county placements. These placements also allow LPS and AOT clients to remain in the community they know and provides the opportunity to build or strengthen family support systems. This agreement allows RCS to arrange for necessary specialty mental health services on behalf of the County, while allowing the County to maintain a comprehensive MHP and compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.
An amendment is being requested as the placement was utilized at a higher rate than was anticipated during this fiscal year. The placement has been able to accommodate more clients that are needing supported residential services to prevent placement in out-of-county facilities.
