Financial Impact:
Costs of services are budgeted into FY 2024-25 and will be paid for with Mental Health realignment funds and/or Mental Health Services Act dollars allocated for medically necessary services.
Background Information:
This is a renewal agreement with the vendor to provide residential care services to residents of Tehama County. This agreement allows the Department to place clients in a residential care facility which is located here in Tehama County. These board and care services are a necessary step in returning clients from higher placement levels. If this agreement is not approved, the Department would need to find another comparable facility to place clients which could result in lengthy negotiations. This could cause disruption and delays in services, as well as clients being placed at greater distances from family.
