body
Financial Impact:
Cost of services will be funded through Mental Health Realignment resources and/or Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) allocations designated for medically necessary care. The associated budget number is 40131. There is no impact on 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 to be placed in Crestwood Behavioral Health facilities. 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.
