Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
October 3, 2017, Item No. 4(0), approval of grant application for Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration funding. November 13, 2018, Item 4(e), approval of BOS Agreement No. 18-156 with Redwood Community Services.
Summary of Request:
In 2017, the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) 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 those experiencing homelessness with co-occurring disorders (mental illness and substance use disorders).
Using SAMHSA funds, Redwood Community Services (RCS) provides services for members of the homeless population in Mendocino County. 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, which includes services to transitional age youth ages 15-24 at the Arbor facility, by staffing Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder counselors at various locations throughout Ukiah.
The original Agreement with RCS that utilizes SAMHSA funds has a term of April 1, 2018 through September 29, 2019 for year 1 and year 2 services in the amount of $282,475. Approval of rollover SAMHSA funding for year 1 and year 2, and an award letter for additional funding for a third year of services in Mendocino County was received in July of 2019. Upon receipt of the award letter, HHSA reviewed all contracts that utilize SAMHSA funds, and created this Amendment to revise year 1 and year 2 services and add the third year of services provided from October 1, 2019 through September 29, 2020 in the amount of $43,918. The review was extensive, taking months of staff time, in order to ensure compliance with new grant requirements, and reduce audit risk. HHSA requests retroactive approval of this Amendment due to the retroactive nature of the SAMHSA budget rollover, and the in-depth review and adjustment process required to draft the new Amendment.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
