Summary of Request:
In 2017, the Health and Human Services Agency applied for and received Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) funding for the Finding Home Project. The Project’s goal is to decrease homelessness and improve the health, well-being and self-sufficiency of persons who are experiencing homelessness and have co-occurring disorders (mental illness and substance use disorders).
Using SAMHSA Finding Home Grant funds, Redwood Community Services (RCS) provides services for individuals experiencing homelessness in Mendocino County and supports recovery through integrated Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder treatment. Such services include: intensive care management and coordinated development of integrated individual service plans; integrated Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder treatment; intensive care management, including access to primary health care and wrap around support; and access to permanent housing. RCS provides the aforementioned services for transitional age youth, age 15-24, at the Arbor facility, and for adults at Building Bridges, the Homeless/Winter Shelter. To date, RCS has provided services for 18 youth and 91 adults. This contract is for the 4th year of a 5 year grant.
Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) is currently administering the Finding Home Grant, which was administered by the Social Services Homeless Continuum of Care (CoC) in past fiscal years. Because of the change in program administration, new staff had to review and negotiate the terms of the Agreement. This, along with a longer than usual processing time, necessitated a retroactive start date.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
