Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
June 11, 2023, Board of Supervisors approval of Agreement No. BOS-23-127.
Summary of Request:
Tapestry Family Services, Inc. (Tapestry) provides Specialty Mental Health Services (SMHS) and Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) programs to Mendocino County residents in Ukiah, Willits, Laytonville, and Covelo, within the schools, community, and office. On June 11, 2023, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors approved Agreement No. BOS-23-127 with Tapestry for SMHS and MHSA programs to eligible Medi-Cal beneficiaries of Mendocino County. Services under this Agreement include SMHS: Assessment, Plan Development, Collateral, Therapy, Rehabilitation, Targeted Case Management, Intensive Care Coordination, Intensive Home-Based Services, Therapeutic Behavioral Health Services, and Therapeutic Foster Care; and MHSA programs: Integrated Care Coordination for beneficiaries through culturally specific outreach and services to Latino and Native American communities, Full Service Partnerships, and Behavioral Health Court to better serve consumers with severe mental illness and severe emotional disturbances.
Through Agreement No. BOS-23-127, it was expected that Tapestry would serve up to 250 youth (ages 0-17), up to 150 transitional age youth (ages 18-24), and up to 300 adult beneficiaries (age 25 and over) under SMHS; and up to 50 individuals through MHSA programs. These anticipated numbers were exceeded, and during the first quarter of Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 (July through September 2023), Tapestry provided services to 613 individual clients, followed by 687 in the second quarter (October through December 2023). During this same period, Tapestry received 331 referrals for SMHS through the County referral process or directly through the agency. This led to more than 14,000 individual encounters/activities for clients throughout inland Mendocino County so far for FY 2023-24.
The proposed Amendment to Agreement No. BOS-23-127 increases the total amount by $1,800,000, for a new total of $5,575,662, due to payment reform with the roll out of California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIMs), the increased demand for mental health services, and a growing need for specialized care in the community. This increase will allow Tapestry to continue providing the highest quality SMHS and MHSA programs throughout the remainder of FY 2023-2024.
