Subject: Adopt Resolution of the Lake County Board of Supervisors Authorizing the Lake County Behavioral Health Services Director to Sign the Subcontractor Agreement for the Behavioral Health Bridge Housing Program.
Executive Summary:
Lake County Behavioral Health Services received an allocation of $2,820,089 for the Behavioral Health Bridge Housing Program grant. The Behavioral Health Bridge Housing Program in California is designed to provide short-term housing and support services to individuals who are experiencing homelessness and have behavioral health needs. This program aims to offer a supportive environment where individuals can receive mental health and substance abuse treatment while transitioning to more permanent housing solutions. The focus is on addressing the unique needs of this population and helping them stabilize while connecting them with necessary resources.
LCBHS is presently working with the Department of Health Care Services to develop a budget and program plan. LCBHS is requesting a waiver to increase cap on infrastructure start-up which is currently set at 25%. We plan to utilize part of these funds to support the needs of the current homeless shelter at Whalen Way.
