body
Financial Impact:
Costs of services will be paid for with Mental Health Realignment Funds and/or Mental Health Services Act dollars allocated for medically necessary services. Budget unit is 40131 for Mental Health. There is no impact to the general fund.
Background Information:
This is a renewal agreement with the vendor for the purpose of providing community mental health services. Placement is difficult for clients who need long-term residential mental health services. The approval of this agreement will allow for the continued use of appropriate level facilities by Tehama County Mental Health clients. There continues to be a need for multiple long-term clients placed in Helios Healthcare facilities. If this agreement is not approved, clients who could be served at this facility would not be able to be placed there and the Department would need to find another comparable facility to place clients. This could result in clients being placed at further distances and cause a disruption and delays for much needed services.
