Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
December 8, 2015, Item 4(q): BOS No. 15-160 (a Memorandum of Understanding between the Mendocino County Health and Human Services Agency and the California Department of Social Services) and Resolution No. 15-173 to implement the Residentially Based Services (RBS) Pilot Demonstration Project.
April 19, 2016, Item 4(g), and March 21, 2017, Item 4(m): BOS Nos. 16-016 and 17-011, Agreements between Mendocino County Health and Human Services Agency and RCS to provide community-based services as part of the RBS program.
Summary of Request:
Mendocino County needs placement services for difficult-to-place youth who need intensive treatment services. Redwood Community Services (RCS) is the sole provider in Mendocino County operating a Residentially Based Services (RBS) program (CAM’S PLACE) that combines intensive short-term residential treatment and stabilization with follow-up community-based services to reconnect youth, ages 5-18, to their families, schools, and communities. Services and supports follow and maintain children in family-based settings when group care is no longer needed. This effort helps maintain youth in Mendocino County, brings youth back to the County, and provides them with the least restrictive living environment. There are no other programs in the County that provide this level of service. CAM’S PLACE serves children and youth who are already in or need group home placement. Program costs are partially covered by funds the County already spends on services for these youth; additional costs are covered by Realignment funds. These costs are part of the RBS program approved by the Board on December 8, 2015, not additional program costs.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
