body
Financial Impact:
Budget unit is 40131 for Mental Health. Costs of services will be paid for with Mental Health realignment funds and/or Mental Health Services Act dollars allocated for medically necessary services. There is no impact to the General Fund.
Background Information:
This is a new 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 use of appropriate level facilities by Tehama County Mental Health clients. If this Agreement is not approved, clients who could be served at these facilities 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.
