Summary of Request

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides assistance to states that suffer natural disasters. This assistance includes funding through the Federal Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program (CCP) that is to be used to provide community-based outreach and psycho-educational services. In response to the October 2017 Mendocino Lake Complex fire, and after the State of California received a Presidential Disaster declaration, CCP issued funds to Mendocino County through a grant agreement with California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) for crisis counseling and related services. The Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA), Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) used the funds to contract with Redwood Community Services (RCS) to provide Crisis Counselors and to hold Community Educational Meetings.

 

The original grant agreement with DHCS has been amended, increasing funds available for Crisis Counseling Services. This Amendment to the original subcontract agreement with RCS increases DHCS funds available to RCS to continue to provide Crisis Counseling Services.

Return to staff for alternative handling.
