Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On December 8, 2015, the Board approved BOS Agreement 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 15-173; on April 19, 2016, the Board approved BOS Agreement No. 16-016, an agreement between Mendocino County Health and Human Services Agency and Redwood Community Services Inc.
Summary of Request:
Mendocino County needs placement services for difficult-to-place youth who need intensive treatment services. Redwood Community Services 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, age 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, in preparation for the upcoming mandates of the Continuum of Care Reform legislation (AB 403). Program costs are partially covered by funds the County already spends on services for these youth; any new 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.
