So anyone want to make a motion? 194 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:59,039 » I'll make that motion to send application for super. 195 00:21:58,159 --> 00:22:03,440 » Thank you. >> Thank you Vernon. 196 00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:09,039 Um is there any discussion of us? 197 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:13,600 » So um all in favor say I. 198 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:17,919 » I opposed. 199 00:22:15,679 --> 00:22:23,840 » All right. Awesome. That motion carries and we are sending 14th member to be 200 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:28,960 approved. This is great. I'm very proud of that. 201 00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:34,280 Discussion items. We have our amazing awesome behavioral health board member 202 00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:34,280 handbook online. 203 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:41,440 » Uh I don't know if anyone's clicked on that link and looked at it, but 204 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:48,080 everything's there. You can click and go to things. Did you want to say anything? 205 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:51,440 » You missed anything. There's you can pass around 206 00:22:49,679 --> 00:22:56,559 » the heart printed out, but it is intended to all 207 00:22:54,960 --> 00:23:02,559 be linkable. that's on um the internet on 208 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:08,720 the behavioral health board site. So, but that's you see what it looks like if 209 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:14,960 you were to print it for yourself or you don't visit. So, thank 210 00:23:11,919 --> 00:23:18,640 you so much to Laurel and the staff for putting that together. It makes it so 211 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:24,480 easy to go to be able to go there, click on links as opposed to having to type in 212 00:23:20,799 --> 00:23:32,520 URLs for places. Um, and so any new member can choose to either get it 213 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:32,520 online or have a hard finder out to you. 214 00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:41,039 Any questions about that? Nope. Awesome. Now, the moment we've all been waiting 215 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:45,120 for. >> My turn to shine. 216 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:48,120 » Yes. Our BHSA presentation. 217 00:23:49,679 --> 00:23:53,080 Take it away. 218 00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:18,640 Good afternoon everybody. My name is Oliver Gonzalez. I am a program manager 219 00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:23,120 for behavioral health branch and I I do a lot of our I do our behavioral health 220 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:26,640 services and reporting. Um this presentation is really going to be 221 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:32,480 focused on something new that we call the integrated plan which is for fiscal 222 00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:37,360 years 2026 2029. Uh couple of things I wanted to kind of disclose ahead of time 223 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:42,880 in in the beginning is that this is all relatively new information. Uh so much 224 00:24:40,559 --> 00:24:50,720 so that I'm actually condensing 400 pages worth of uh state lingo into 20 225 00:24:46,799 --> 00:24:56,159 sites. So, so if you have any questions um as I present, by all means feel free 226 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:59,760 to to interject. Um I really just want we really just want to have a 227 00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:03,840 conversation together about all of these new transitions and changes happening 228 00:25:01,919 --> 00:25:08,960 with the BHSA. The other thing is I know some of you 229 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:12,640 are uh have attended our previous MHSA meetings, mental health services act 230 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:17,919 meetings. Normally we would present a budget along with this information but 231 00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:21,840 given by how much is changing right now that budget is still very much in 232 00:25:19,679 --> 00:25:26,000 progress along with the plan that we're discussing today. So I I do apologize 233 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:29,520 for not having a budget on hand to present to you right now but that is 234 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:33,440 something that we will have in the coming months for you to see as well. So 235 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:40,559 just wanted to give you guys that heads up. Um in today's presentation uh we 236 00:25:38,159 --> 00:25:46,080 have really three core goals. uh we will discuss the transitions of the MHSA to 237 00:25:43,279 --> 00:25:51,120 the VHSA. Throughout the presentation, I'll be highlighting challenges with the 238 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:55,760 implementation of the VHSA. So, really just going over those challenges and 239 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:59,760 potential impacts on programs. And last but not least, we'll be talk there will 240 00:25:57,919 --> 00:26:05,600 be room for comments, questions, and input from the public. Um 241 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:10,320 while we're on that note, we also have a demographic form uh that I have copies 242 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:15,200 for. I hope each of you got a copy and if not we have some up front. Uh for 243 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:20,159 those of us joining online, we also have a link that my colleague Alex Olivera 244 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:24,159 has posted in the chat. Um it is absolutely voluntary and anonymous. So 245 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:28,559 if there's sections or you don't want to take it, that's totally fine. Um and 246 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:32,880 then the end of the form has which is the backside has a section for comments 247 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:37,360 as well. So perhaps there's something additional you wanted to input or 248 00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:38,960 emphasize as a comment. By all means feel free to share that. 249 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:43,679 » Yes. >> Um if you've already done these two 250 00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:45,760 forms, can you do that again? >> Yep. 251 00:26:44,559 --> 00:26:47,200 » Absolutely. >> We don't have a limit. 252 00:26:46,799 --> 00:26:51,760 » Yeah. >> Yeah. And we won't know who it came from 253 00:26:49,039 --> 00:26:57,600 because again it's anonymous. So >> So there's that. Um and then I also have 254 00:26:54,960 --> 00:27:01,360 anformational packet as well that we have up front here. So I hope you got a 255 00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:05,600 copy of that. A lot of that packet really mirrors the information I'm going 256 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:10,159 to be discussing today. Uh but again, just something to take home with you. 257 00:27:07,679 --> 00:27:16,159 And of course, I'll be sending you uh copies of these slides as well 258 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:20,960 afterwards too. Okay. Um and my colleague Alex did uh put a 259 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:26,000 copy of that packet in the chat as well for our virtual friends as well. And 260 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:30,720 also for our virtual friends, uh the the virtual section uh demographic form also 261 00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:34,080 has a section for uh comments and feedback that I'm highlighting here as 262 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:40,640 well. Uh so really to kind of also emphasize 263 00:27:37,039 --> 00:27:45,520 too uh we will be also taking notes of what is shared with us today. Um we have 264 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:49,039 an email address bsa comments at co.humble.ca. 265 00:27:47,039 --> 00:27:54,720 us. So that's an email address that you could use to also get a hold of me um 266 00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:58,399 and or even share additional input and we ask that comments are specific to 267 00:27:56,799 --> 00:28:01,960 what we're discussing today which is the integrated plan. 268 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:11,440 So with that in mind uh let's get started. So ultimately the uh mental 269 00:28:07,919 --> 00:28:17,039 health services act initiated in 2004 enacted in law in California in 2005. It 270 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:24,320 was done under the form of proposition 63 and it placed a 1% income tax on 271 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:29,840 income exceeding a million dollars in California. Um oftent times the MHSA was 272 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:38,960 called the millionaire's tax so to speak. Uh for that reason um in 2025 273 00:28:36,559 --> 00:28:43,600 we had a reform happened through the form of proposition one uh through the 274 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:50,000 governor's office. And what proposition one did is it approved it was approved 275 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:54,640 in 2005 2025 in May and it renamed the mental health services act into the 276 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:58,960 behavioral health services act. Um I'll discuss the elements and pieces that um 277 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:04,159 are changed throughout this presentation. Uh but in essence what 278 00:29:01,679 --> 00:29:08,720 this infographic is showing is that that 1% income tax for the millionaires is 279 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:13,279 collected by the state treasurer. It is then subdivided into two 280 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:16,960 components. Um, one component is a 10% allocation to the state, specifically 281 00:29:15,279 --> 00:29:21,520 some state agencies like the Department of Healthcare Services, the California 282 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:24,960 Behavioral Health Planning Council, uh, the Department of Healthcare Access and 283 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:28,559 Information, the Behavioral Health Services Oversight and Accountability 284 00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:34,799 Commission, and the California Department of Public Health. Nailed it. 285 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:41,679 Um, so, and then the remaining 10% goes to uh all 58 counties and two city 286 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:45,360 jurisdictions. Um, one thing I really want to emphasize here in this 287 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:52,640 infographic is that maybe some of you noticed under BHSA, the state allocation 288 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:57,039 is 10%. Under MHSA, last year it was 5%. So that means that the state's going to 289 00:29:54,159 --> 00:30:00,640 be taking a an additional 5% to run their own internal programs. And that's 290 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:04,960 something I'll be emphasizing throughout the presentation as well, since that 291 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:09,520 ultimately means less funding for all 58 counties. 292 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:14,960 Um, one other little fun fact also I wanted to share with you all is that um, 293 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:20,559 really California is the only state in the US that really allocates tax revenue 294 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:23,919 dollars to behavioral health services. The other state that does something 295 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:30,320 similar is the state of Washington and that's a 0.1% sales tax. So just wanted 296 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:37,360 to highlight that. It'll be on the test. Um so really the intended purposes of of 297 00:30:34,159 --> 00:30:41,039 the MHSBHSA is to expand best practices and recovery focused mental health 298 00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:45,120 programs, reduce long-term negative impacts uh resulting from untreated 299 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:48,960 mental illness and prevent mental illness from becoming severe and 300 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:52,399 disabling. Additionally, we have some county 301 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:56,480 requirements that we need to follow. So we need to be completing an integrated 302 00:30:54,240 --> 00:31:01,600 plan every 3 years. The most recent fiscal year uh plan that we submitted 303 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:07,440 was 2023 2026 and that was the MHSA 3-year plan uh which was approved June 304 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:12,720 27, 2023. Uh we are also required to do two annual updates in the years between. 305 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:17,440 Uh we are also required to do something we call that community program planning 306 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:20,240 process the CPP for integrated plans and that's a fancy way of saying meeting 307 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:25,640 with your community members and soliciting feedback and input such as 308 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,640 it's meeting space. 309 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:31,399 Yes. Curiosity. 310 00:31:31,679 --> 00:31:34,679 Um 311 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:47,919 when we say um community members um I think it goes further than this 312 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:53,919 space and we should be out there doing with the community. I know that we come 313 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:57,519 here as the board but we don't represent I mean I'd like to say I represent the 314 00:31:55,919 --> 00:32:01,919 whole community but I think that there's a whole lot of community out there that 315 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:05,840 doesn't have a voice. Absolutely. I agree with you on that one. And one of 316 00:32:03,679 --> 00:32:09,679 the things and we have this in our in our packet as well. Uh we have other 317 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:13,519 community meetings happening throughout all of Homo County. For instance, I was 318 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:17,519 in Fortuna yesterday. The day prior I was in Garmville as an example. 319 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:22,720 » Uh we have a couple of meetings happening next week and some even 320 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:27,840 happening in um New Lake in the fall in February. Uh we're also uh reaching out 321 00:32:25,519 --> 00:32:32,399 to local organizations and anybody who may be interested to have uh to really 322 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:35,120 join these meetings and also having other meetings in addition in case they 323 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,799 can't make those dates. >> Okay. as well. Um, and if there are any 324 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,519 behavioral health board members that would like to attend or anybody in this 325 00:32:40,159 --> 00:32:45,840 space, be more than welcome to use. >> And D, if there's a place or a community 326 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:50,320 you think would be good for a meeting, like make that suggestion because Oliver 327 00:32:48,159 --> 00:32:51,919 is real really robust about ensuring that we get 328 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,919 » I have Yeah, >> absolutely. We can definitely connect 329 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:58,799 afterwards. >> Yeah. 330 00:32:55,039 --> 00:33:04,799 » So, what kind of meetings I guess um would we be able to or are 331 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:08,159 being opened up to the public? Yeah, there are there just community meetings 332 00:33:06,399 --> 00:33:12,000 that we have dedicated to the behavioral health service design planning process. 333 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:16,799 » Okay. Is it just so people can get a better understanding or is it 334 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:19,440 opportunity for input or kind of both? >> Both. 335 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:23,440 » Okay. I'm assuming this form is handed out at most of the meetings. 336 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,640 » Correct. All the same form. >> Okay. 337 00:33:24,399 --> 00:33:28,240 » Okay. Thank you for the approach. >> Good question. 338 00:33:27,679 --> 00:33:33,039 » Yes. >> I'm going to address the elephant in the 339 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:41,120 room. Is there any meetings planned or set for the unhoused to give their um 340 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:46,159 need for mental health services? >> Yeah, a good question. 341 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:53,760 » Like the mission or the uh St. Vincent Paul free meal or somewhere 342 00:33:49,440 --> 00:34:01,600 where the unhoused may gather. Um because we do know that the unhoused 343 00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:06,000 citizens of our community is major utilizers of our mental health services. 344 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:09,040 » Yeah, fantastic question, Vernon. So, I reached out to a couple of these 345 00:34:07,039 --> 00:34:12,159 agencies and I haven't heard back yet. However, if we can maybe touch base to 346 00:34:10,879 --> 00:34:15,599 see if maybe you have other points of contact that we that you can suggest to 347 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,919 me, I'd be more than happy to get those from you. Okay. 348 00:34:16,720 --> 00:34:19,599 » That way, I can reach out and connect with them too. 349 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:23,919 » We'll definitely do that. >> Perfect. Thank you. Yeah, absolutely. 350 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:28,720 Then um I don't know if you'll get to this 351 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:34,159 eventually, so bad about asking ahead of time, but what is the I guess 352 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:39,839 overarching goal of having community input field um information about health 353 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:45,599 services? Yeah. >> What are we hoping to do with 354 00:34:42,639 --> 00:34:49,440 » Yeah. So the MHS is a fun stream, right? And ultimately what we really want to 355 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:53,520 ensure is that these dollars are responsive to local needs. 356 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:57,839 » Okay. Right. So, as we solicit feedback and input from community members, we 357 00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:01,119 want to see how we can address that feedback and incorporate it into our 358 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:05,280 planning process either through our existing programs or moving or creating 359 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:09,920 a new program or something. >> Okay. Well, I don't know if you're on 360 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:17,520 the behavioral health board email list, but I know that whoever is on there 361 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:25,359 should have been forwarding from Joe talking about um at least one person's 362 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:29,200 needs as far as services go. And I don't know, I find I find it important because 363 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:35,040 I don't know if any of y'all have read the email about um kind of restrictions 364 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:41,680 that people face when they become nonverbal during like episodes. And um I 365 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:46,720 just have personal experience with somebody in my life receiving improper 366 00:35:44,079 --> 00:35:51,040 care for the same exact reason. And so I just I guess not only want to bring that 367 00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:56,480 up for you to gather information, but then also to just like um bring light to 368 00:35:54,079 --> 00:36:02,240 this person because they did email us a very extensive and well-written email 369 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:08,160 for what they were describing. So, just want to give a shout out to Stacy and 370 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:13,560 then I'm not going to try to there last but I think we all should have got so 371 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:22,720 » and then it was yeah basically just um okay well I'm just going to say it but 372 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:26,480 if there was a language sort of interpreter for people that are 373 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:30,720 experiencing episodes during crisis since that was 374 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,760 something that I was thinking about you response is the moment. 375 00:36:33,119 --> 00:36:37,119 » Absolutely. >> You can continue. 376 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:42,960 » Can I just make a comment? Thank you for saying that. I um I want to just like 377 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:47,040 maybe differentiate between kind of the information that Oliver's here gathering 378 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:50,880 and other information that gets lifted to this board and kind of the pathways 379 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:54,560 for that. And um I'm glad you're flagging that because we've talked a lot 380 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:58,000 in the past about what happens when when individuals from the community or 381 00:36:56,160 --> 00:37:03,200 someone on their behalf lifts concerns to the board. And we work really hard to 382 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:07,359 kind of um direct those individuals to the right pathways within behavioral 383 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:11,440 health to lift their concern and if needed file a grievance or a complaint 384 00:37:09,119 --> 00:37:15,440 so that they can respond directly to that versus kind of the broader 385 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:19,040 conversation that Oliver is bringing which is what kind of services would be 386 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:23,760 most helpful in our community? What kind of programs are we missing or could we 387 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:27,119 build up or build out to better serve our community? I still I still think 388 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:30,800 that it's really important to recognize that there was a member of the community 389 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:34,720 reaching out to us and I think that we are all in a position of privilege where 390 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:38,400 we can advocate on their behalf sometimes especially based on what this 391 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:42,720 person was saying they have experience not being heard in mental health 392 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:48,800 services. So I'm sure that it was kind of like more of a 393 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:52,359 you know of an an ask for advocacy instead of fixed. 394 00:37:52,480 --> 00:38:00,000 Okay. I mean it was an email that we all received and nobody had mentioned it. So 395 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:04,640 » just thought it was important to say something 396 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:09,119 » if we can. Yeah, we can finish presentation. 397 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:14,359 » I think important before I had that conversation 398 00:38:11,119 --> 00:38:14,359 more thoroughly. 399 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:22,800 Okay. So this is um the next slide that I have here is a bird's eye view of the 400 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:28,720 behavioral health services. More specifically the three new buckets or 401 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:35,760 elements uh that we're looking at here. I want to emphasize this slide goes over 402 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:42,320 two specific figures. Okay. So that 90% refers to ultimately the overall funding 403 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:48,640 counties will get right after the state takes its 10% cut. Okay. In addition, 404 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:55,760 the other percentages you're seeing here on the left side, these percentages are 405 00:38:52,079 --> 00:39:01,280 specific to what each bucket under BHSA will be having. Right? So, the housing 406 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:06,000 intervention section is going to be 30%, the full service partnership section is 407 00:39:03,359 --> 00:39:12,720 35% and the behavioral health services and supports section is 35% in front. 408 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:17,680 So, that adds up to 100% in total PHSA funding. But again, we're only going to 409 00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:21,119 be getting that 90% allocation from the state after they get app. So, I just 410 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:25,760 wanted to emphasize the difference between percentages and why maybe you're 411 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:30,560 thinking, wait, that adds up to 100%, but why doesn't this? It's because it's 412 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:35,359 telling us to live percentages. Okay. So, so again, those are the three 413 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:41,359 core sections. And what I'll do is I'm going to actually go over in in a little 414 00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:47,680 bit those three sections and how we're planning for each one of them. So this 415 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:52,880 is again another kind of bird's eyee view, but in in essence what it's doing 416 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:58,880 is it's grabbing our MHSA format and it's pointing to these three new buckets 417 00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:03,839 where each new format where each format fits into that bucket. Right? So 418 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:09,440 obviously our full service partnership becomes a standalone uh bucket that red 419 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:14,000 box and then anything that's in the green bucket for like FSP, general 420 00:40:11,599 --> 00:40:18,000 system development, MHSA housing coordinator, certain counties have that 421 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:22,640 uh housing and homelessness related outreach, all of that goes into the 422 00:40:20,079 --> 00:40:27,359 housing intervention section. anything that's um behavioral health services and 423 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:32,400 supports at 35% that's any other outreach that's non-housing or any other 424 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:38,640 services that we call community services and supports under the MHSA examples 425 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:42,960 being our older adults program our um crisis residential treatment facility uh 426 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:49,280 regional services those will be technically other CSS and will go under 427 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:53,520 that 35% bucket as well we also have on the right side our prevention and early 428 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:57,839 intervention under MHSA and how that would fit into those three buckets as 429 00:40:55,280 --> 00:41:02,400 well. So again, just wanted to kind of highlight how it shifts things around 430 00:40:59,839 --> 00:41:05,400 for us and molds it into that new format. 431 00:41:06,079 --> 00:41:13,200 So this is the section where I'll be giving kind of like a more specific lens 432 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:18,400 of each section or bucket. So the first one is the housing intervention section 433 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:23,119 that 30% requirement and the goals are to reduce homelessness among DHSA 434 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:28,240 eligible populations. Uh it's emphasizing a permanent supportive 435 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:33,200 housing and housing first principles. Uh so that would be low barrier and harm 436 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:37,599 reduction. Uh county coord so there's a county coordination with managed care 437 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:41,920 plans for us that's a partnership uh of humble partnership for humble county. So 438 00:41:39,839 --> 00:41:47,520 just wanted to emphasize that and I do appreciate partnership being present 439 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:51,760 online for us um in today's meeting and they can fund rental subsidies, 440 00:41:49,359 --> 00:41:56,480 operating subsidies, support development of new housing units and even outreach. 441 00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:00,880 » Yes. >> They also help with uh relocation 442 00:41:59,839 --> 00:42:03,440 deposits. >> Yeah. 443 00:42:01,359 --> 00:42:09,119 » Because they're assisting me in relocating with with a deposit. 444 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:12,000 » Absolutely. Great point because that I have a slide that goes over 445 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,520 » Okay, I'm sorry. I'm jumping here. I apologize. 446 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:18,400 » No, no, you're good. But that was great information, Vernon. um as far as 447 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:21,760 eligible populations go. So really it's for people who are chronically homeless, 448 00:42:20,079 --> 00:42:27,839 experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness and individuals existing 449 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:31,920 exiting institutions or or jail settings where homelessness where there were 450 00:42:30,079 --> 00:42:34,800 homeless before entering and those transitioning from a medical 451 00:42:33,119 --> 00:42:40,400 transitional rent which I'll go in detail in a little bit. 452 00:42:37,599 --> 00:42:45,359 Priority groups are children, youth um in juvenile justice, child welfare or at 453 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:50,960 risk of institutionalization and adults, older adults in or at risk 454 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:55,119 of the justice system conservatorship or institutionalization as well. One thing 455 00:42:53,599 --> 00:42:58,480 I really want to emphasize here, and this is something that the states really 456 00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:02,640 kind of letting us know through all of their policy manuals, is that housing 457 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:08,720 intervention funds, as I call them, AI moving forward, should not be limited to 458 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:13,599 only full service partnership funds. Um, I'll go over those details in a later 459 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:18,800 slide and the challenges that process for us as well. 460 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:23,599 So this is kind of the slide where we're talking about the allowable housing 461 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:29,200 settings under the housing intervention uh section. So we have two sections. One 462 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:33,119 is interim settings and the other one is called permanent settings. We'll get 463 00:43:31,119 --> 00:43:38,480 started first with the interim settings. Uh examples include hotels, form hotels, 464 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:44,400 uh non- congregate shelters, recuperative care, peer respite, 465 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:48,480 short-term post hospitalization housing, and including even what Burton said 466 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:53,520 where we can do that rental assistance as well. Um if the client qualify, so so 467 00:43:52,319 --> 00:43:56,960 here's where it gets a little bit complicated with the housing 468 00:43:54,800 --> 00:44:02,880 intervention bucket. uh they uh the state created a 469 00:44:00,319 --> 00:44:07,440 transitional rent benefit through our manage through managed care plans for 470 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:12,079 us. It's partnership and what that means for us is that anybody who is deemed 471 00:44:09,839 --> 00:44:17,839 eligible for BHSA housing should technically have a pipeline to access up 472 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:22,160 to six months of this transitional rent benefit that's then offered by 473 00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:28,319 partnership or by the by the county's managed care planner. Um, after those 474 00:44:25,119 --> 00:44:33,359 six months are up, we as counties can then leverage the housing intervention 475 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:39,359 section to to do an additional six months of transitional rent um or 476 00:44:36,079 --> 00:44:43,920 interim setting u coverage for a total of 12 months. If for whatever reason 477 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:48,480 that individual does not qualify for that partnership, those partnership 478 00:44:45,359 --> 00:44:54,400 dollars, then we can leverage our VHSA housing intervention dollars for a full 479 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:59,040 12 months if the funds are available. So just wanted to give that heads up about 480 00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:04,319 interim settings. Just >> who is the interim setting people? 481 00:45:02,079 --> 00:45:08,240 » Yeah, great question. So ultimately >> where's the pipeline? I want to know. 482 00:45:06,240 --> 00:45:12,319 » So that pipeline is currently being created as we speak. So there's some 483 00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:15,920 complex contracting happening with partnership right now. I know Raul 484 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:20,160 Torres from home is helping with some of that too. So all of this is very much 485 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:27,920 still under development. >> Okay. Yeah, great question. Um, any 486 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:32,240 other question for the interim? No. So, ultimately what we want to then do 487 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:38,079 though is once those 12 months are up or funding, the bottom goal is permanent 488 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:43,839 per permanent housing, right? And with permanent housing, uh we uh examples 489 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:49,359 include permanent supportive housing, apartments, accessory dwelling units, 490 00:45:46,319 --> 00:45:53,839 shared housing, uh recovery or sober living situations, assisted living, and 491 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:58,480 tiny homes. And one thing I really want to stress about permanent settings is 492 00:45:55,839 --> 00:46:03,760 there is no time limit to those. So we can we can in perpetuity as funding 493 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:09,760 allows continue supporting with BHSA funding uh clients who are in permanent 494 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:13,160 settings. So just really wanted to highlight that. 495 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:21,200 » So yeah, do you know if this funding has any relation to the youth homelessness 496 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:23,920 develop or demonstration project funding? 497 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:28,000 » Not that I'm aware of. >> I know that it's through um housing and 498 00:46:26,079 --> 00:46:32,240 urban develop uh program. So I'm not sure if you have any knowledge about 499 00:46:30,319 --> 00:46:35,359 where that sits now, but if it's completely under this then 500 00:46:34,079 --> 00:46:38,240 » Yeah, great question. There's a lot of different housing initiatives living in 501 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:42,480 different places, right? I mean, we even have another one printed in front of us 502 00:46:40,240 --> 00:46:50,079 too, right? But I'm not fully aware of that. Does anybody use 503 00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:55,280 » um yeah the YGP which RDF works on is one of them um because it it's through 504 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:59,440 the federal government that housing development and yeah we're currently 505 00:46:57,839 --> 00:47:03,839 just you know catch everyone up we're currently at a standstill because the 506 00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:09,760 contract hasn't been drafted for our city to sign to get these housing 507 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:13,520 agreements but heard maybe this week there was something happening. Okay. 508 00:47:12,720 --> 00:47:20,520 Okay. Cuz yeah, >> but yeah, this is California. That's 509 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:20,520 federal. I know it's like all interfer. 510 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:32,880 Uh so this is where we talk to go go into challenges and we have here our 511 00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:36,720 friend our office worker jumping some hurdles here. He comes back in the 512 00:47:35,119 --> 00:47:43,119 presentation a couple times. A lot of hurdles here. Uh okay. So, um, one point 513 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:48,240 I really want to emphasize here is, uh, this housing intervention dollars, these 514 00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:52,560 30%, they're not these dollars. Uh, they come from our full service partnership 515 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:58,000 bucket in essence. So, in our previous format under uh, MHSA, 516 00:47:55,200 --> 00:48:04,640 uh, our full service partnership program constituted roughly 65 to 70% of the 517 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:10,079 overall funds, right? And what this uh BHSA uh refresh is doing is it's 518 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:14,560 grabbing the housing piece of our FSP section, making an extendal loan 519 00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:18,079 section, and then making our FSP bucket, which is now in the extendal loan 520 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:22,559 section only specific to service delivery. So, I just really wanted to 521 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:28,559 emphasize that those these dollars, although they may look new, they're not. 522 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:33,920 And one other thing that we have here is that our county uh fiscal team uh 523 00:48:31,119 --> 00:48:39,440 projects that uh Humbult's housing cost for our FSP already maximize if not 524 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:45,839 exceed the 30% housing intervention requirements seen under the BHSA. So, I 525 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:50,240 really just wanted to be really upfront with the challenges that we're seeing 526 00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:54,559 with that the intent of this bucket because the governor really wants to use 527 00:48:52,319 --> 00:49:00,079 these dollars in a really much broader way for non full service partnership 528 00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:05,200 clients. Um, and one thing that they've gone on record saying is that they're 529 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:09,760 anticipating or expecting a low declination rate of access to these 530 00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:14,800 dollars, which unfortunately because they're not expanding the dollars and in 531 00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:19,920 fact they're doing a 5% reduction, it's not a very practical statement to 532 00:49:17,839 --> 00:49:25,040 say and it doesn't reflect the reality of these dollars. So again, just really 533 00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:30,480 wanted to emphasize those two points. Um, in addition, we're also having some 534 00:49:28,240 --> 00:49:35,680 very tight deadlines here. So much so that a lot of the direction that we've 535 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:40,800 been getting came two weeks ago. So, so we're very much flying this ship as 536 00:49:38,079 --> 00:49:45,200 we're building it in many aspects. >> I'm sorry. I was trying really hard not 537 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:53,839 to ask a question, but I have to. Yeah. So, uh FSA you talked about this uh 538 00:49:50,720 --> 00:49:57,839 should be could be going for sober living 539 00:49:55,760 --> 00:50:05,839 transitional housing. Correct. >> Um so what cuz I do a lot of placement 540 00:50:03,599 --> 00:50:10,559 for people in sober living and what's been happening is I've been 541 00:50:09,119 --> 00:50:18,160 um having to take them to general relief. they sign up for general relief 542 00:50:13,359 --> 00:50:24,079 and um general relief pays $333 to sober living and then the client has to pay it 543 00:50:20,240 --> 00:50:28,319 back. So my question is if there's a way for our people not to 544 00:50:26,319 --> 00:50:31,960 have to do that, what is that process? 545 00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:37,520 » That's >> because if we have FSA funds that aren't 546 00:50:35,599 --> 00:50:42,640 being used is what I understood you to say. 547 00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:50,800 How do we how how can I how can I encourage or refer people that 548 00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:56,559 I work with to get other funding because it for one most people don't have the 549 00:50:54,240 --> 00:51:04,160 ability to pay money pay back sober living. Um 550 00:51:00,319 --> 00:51:08,079 and so I'm just kind of curious. Yeah, that's a really great question. And I 551 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:14,160 think one of the things is right that that we're looking at is if our FSPs are 552 00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:18,400 currently maximizing these dollars, um it doesn't really give us a lot of 553 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:20,800 latitude or if any at all to broaden where those dollars can also be used, 554 00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:24,559 right? Wow. >> So, one thing that we're doing in behind 555 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:28,319 the scenes is we're having internal conversations to see where our 556 00:51:26,720 --> 00:51:32,800 expenditures live >> and seeing where exactly they're going. 557 00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:37,040 So that way if if there is latitude for us to do that for like safe and sober or 558 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:40,880 for just SD in general seeing if that could fit. 559 00:51:38,319 --> 00:51:45,760 » As for your other piece though of where other areas could be, I'm not entirely 560 00:51:43,599 --> 00:51:49,760 sure and I'm hoping maybe somebody here might be able to provide more 561 00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:54,960 information. I'm not going to answer that question, 562 00:51:51,200 --> 00:52:00,480 but I think just to clarify, Dette, um I think that what Oliver is flagging here 563 00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:06,640 is that we actually in Humble have expended housing funds beyond what most 564 00:52:03,839 --> 00:52:11,920 counties have done. And so even though these new buckets say, look, you have 565 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:14,720 this 30% or 35% now that's in here, many counties are like, oh great, okay, well, 566 00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:19,359 I guess we'll have to spend more money on housing. We're already spending so 567 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:23,440 much money on housing that there's not excess money to spend. So we are really 568 00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:28,000 having to look at how are we spending it? Do we have places to expand or not? 569 00:52:26,240 --> 00:52:32,640 Like how are we maximizing? >> Okay. 570 00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:39,760 » So when you hear in the media >> our governor state that counties aren't 571 00:52:35,839 --> 00:52:46,160 doing what they need to do and they need to spend this money more on housing. 572 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:52,240 He's not speaking to Humbult County specifically. He's speaking to counties 573 00:52:49,359 --> 00:52:59,839 in general like we're not doing what we're supposed to do and in fact we're 574 00:52:54,480 --> 00:53:07,440 doing more than we could do in Humble County. So um some of the information 575 00:53:03,359 --> 00:53:09,599 that we hear um isn't actually accurate for Humble. 576 00:53:08,319 --> 00:53:14,319 » Okay. >> And that's happened to us a couple of 577 00:53:11,359 --> 00:53:20,640 different times with MHSA dollars. they've taken other dollars from us 578 00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:27,520 because we weren't building housing, but we actually were building housing uh 579 00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:35,119 with the Arcade Bay crossing project. So, I just want to like put some context 580 00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:42,240 uh to some of that because >> we spend a lot on our misunderstand. 581 00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:47,599 So Oliver is there um I know that one of the biggest changes in the broad picture 582 00:53:44,720 --> 00:53:54,720 is that now this money has to go to substance use stuff too. So, in the 583 00:53:50,960 --> 00:54:00,880 housing thing, is there some kind of requirement or is the county making some 584 00:53:57,359 --> 00:54:06,559 kind of plan to make sure that there's a good balance between mental health 585 00:54:03,839 --> 00:54:10,319 clients and substance use disorder clients getting the benefit of these 586 00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:13,839 things? I mean, I don't know, that's that's going to be a big challenge, but 587 00:54:11,839 --> 00:54:18,640 I mean, is there a plan for that? >> Great question. So, under the BHSA, 588 00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:23,359 technically, it's not a requirement per se. 589 00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:27,520 The way they drafted the BHSA is they made it so that moving forward counties 590 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:33,760 have the flexibility to provide services or fund services to BHSA for standalone 591 00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:38,800 SUD uh clients. That's a flexibility and lat that the MHSA previously did not 592 00:54:36,240 --> 00:54:44,800 have. Right. So, so the way they formulated it is we have the flexibility 593 00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:48,880 to do it if the funding allows it, but it's not necessarily a requirement per 594 00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:51,920 se, at least in that front. >> Oh, I see. Okay. Thank you. 595 00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:58,240 » Yeah. >> Okay. So, the HI is 30% of it. Can you 596 00:54:55,680 --> 00:55:02,319 remind me of what the because 10% now goes to the state, correct? And can you 597 00:55:00,079 --> 00:55:05,520 remind me of what the other percentages are and for what they are? 598 00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:09,520 » Yeah, great question. So I I actually go over it in other slides as well too. 599 00:55:07,839 --> 00:55:13,680 » And then I guess just really briefly I wanted to say that um they are doing a 600 00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:18,800 lot of work right now about like updating kind of what substance use 601 00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:21,920 disorder means when it comes to all these things. They're trying to consider 602 00:55:20,079 --> 00:55:27,440 a greater disabled as we don't know. So maybe if we keep up with the legislation 603 00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:32,800 around that that we could find ways to you know um receive funds from spots 604 00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:35,680 that were previously unavailable. Absolutely. 605 00:55:36,319 --> 00:55:42,160 question. That's an interesting topic that brought up a lot of times when we 606 00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:47,440 talk about substance use disorder. It's really hopefully the topic especially 607 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:53,200 co-occurring disorders. We're not Gabriel Maf said it past why the 608 00:55:50,319 --> 00:55:57,599 addiction is why that's wrong and so like again that that seems to be a 609 00:55:55,359 --> 00:56:01,280 divide. So as an addiction spectrum it's like we don't want to compete with 610 00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:05,599 therapist. there's an equality to them. So I I see 611 00:56:04,079 --> 00:56:10,240 it all the time. You know, I'm I'm Miller with Burger French and 612 00:56:07,839 --> 00:56:14,720 Transitional House and that I see it, you know, I try to put band-aids on it 613 00:56:12,079 --> 00:56:20,480 all the time, but it's really mental health issues. 614 00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:28,760 About time we see mental health issues were really spewing over and like 615 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:28,760 therapists and stuff. 616 00:56:29,839 --> 00:56:37,280 Hopefully when people talk again I can say hey coering disorders could like 617 00:56:34,240 --> 00:56:42,559 really mix the whole and that's that is where we go 618 00:56:40,799 --> 00:56:45,559 to get addition to people all riled up and 619 00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:49,960 thank you for stopping that. 620 00:56:50,720 --> 00:56:57,599 So we'll move on to the next H bucket of the BHSA and that is the behavioral 621 00:56:55,440 --> 00:57:01,839 health services and supports the BHSS and that's the 35%. 622 00:56:59,839 --> 00:57:07,599 So the purpose is to serve children, youth, adults and older adults. Uh it 623 00:57:04,720 --> 00:57:12,720 focuses on early access stabilization and prevention of horse conditions and 624 00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:18,319 the word prevention has an asterisk here which I will address with us together in 625 00:57:15,359 --> 00:57:22,720 a moment. uh it's meant to prevent uh escalation to crisis, homelessness or 626 00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:27,760 justice involvement. What we can fund through the BHSS uh bucket, it's and 627 00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:31,760 it's a lot. So we can put we can do the outpatient mental health and substance 628 00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:36,720 use disorder services. So that one element that we kind of just mentioned, 629 00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:41,040 outreach and engagement, uh workforce education and training, also known as 630 00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:46,079 WAT, early intervention programs, which I'll go in detail in a moment, and 631 00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:51,119 innovation programs. You guys might might have this in mind where um under 632 00:57:48,319 --> 00:57:55,440 MHSA uh we had requirements to do workforce education and training and 633 00:57:52,960 --> 00:58:00,319 innovation pilots. Technically under the BHSA those are no longer standalone 634 00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:06,720 categories. They're all molded into the DHSS bucket. And again, it's more 635 00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:10,960 they're they're now intended that if the county has a flexibility to fund those 636 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:15,839 two components, then by all means they can. they don't necessarily have to 637 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:21,119 moving forward under the BHSA. Um 638 00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:26,640 for uh the BHSS early intervention at least 51% of these uh early intervention 639 00:58:23,839 --> 00:58:32,160 dollars on BHSS must be allocated to early intervention uh of these EI funds 640 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:37,280 and minimum of that. So that 51% at least 51 of those percentages must be 641 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:43,520 allocated to individuals who are 25 years of age and under. Uh, additionally 642 00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:48,079 the state gave us some two new definitions in that three two three 643 00:58:46,079 --> 00:58:53,280 weeks ago. One of them is called indicated prevention and the other one 644 00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:58,640 is called universal prevention. Uh, with indicated prevention, this is the main 645 00:58:55,520 --> 00:59:02,799 focus of the HSS early intervention. Uh, and it's meant to be targeted to 646 00:59:00,559 --> 00:59:06,960 individuals at elevated risk as they've defined it. They've also defined 647 00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:11,040 universal prevention and this is the type of prevention that they don't want 648 00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:16,960 counties doing moving forward. Uh it is not allowable for us and is defined as 649 00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:22,400 broad populationwide efforts not tied to individual risk. Right? I'll go over the 650 00:59:20,079 --> 00:59:27,599 challenges of what this poses for us and contextualize what that means for 651 00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:33,200 programs in in the next slide. Uh but I just really wanted to share those two 652 00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:37,280 definitions because again it it's new direction that we just got not too long 653 00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:40,799 ago. So this slide I wanted to really just 654 00:59:39,359 --> 00:59:45,359 emphasize the programs within the behavioral health services support 655 00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:49,440 bucket. So there's multiple programs in this section and as we're preparing for 656 00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:52,480 it for early intervention programs current programs that we are 657 00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:59,680 transitioning to this bucket are the hope center HCASI parent partners our 658 00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:05,119 multi-ter system support MTSS with HCLE our warmline our humble early psychosis 659 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:10,480 intervention program happy and the land leazison programation 660 01:00:07,359 --> 01:00:15,680 uh for CSS programs once under MHSA that would be our regional services older 661 01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:19,680 adults crisis residential treatment. Uh our innovation program that will be our 662 01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:24,000 resident engagement support team also known as REST. And last but not least, 663 01:00:22,319 --> 01:00:28,079 our workforce education and training wet. So that will be our reliance 664 01:00:25,839 --> 01:00:31,680 e-learning platform that we've utilized to train our workforce along as any 665 01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:37,280 other equity trainings that we are intending to plan in the near future as 666 01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:42,559 well. So as you can see, a lot will live under the BHSS bucket which will present 667 01:00:40,319 --> 01:00:48,000 some challenges. And once again our our friend jumping 668 01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:53,520 hurdles is back. So with uh the state transition to indicated prevention uh 669 01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:59,760 which is shifting to focus to at risk people um this poses some issues. Uh for 670 01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:04,079 instance this means that we cannot fund our suicide prevention program under 671 01:01:01,839 --> 01:01:08,079 public health or our local implementation agreements uh as they 672 01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:14,720 currently stand. uh largely these are two universal uh uh 673 01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:18,960 prevention programs and with the way they've defined it we unfortunately 674 01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:23,440 cannot move forward in develop these programs. 675 01:01:20,559 --> 01:01:28,640 So that's our first challenge. Uh the second challenge as I kind of mentioned 676 01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:34,640 in the previous slide is this uh the HSS bucket has a lot of different programs 677 01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:39,920 and services cramped into one section. So in in that way it's really 678 01:01:37,359 --> 01:01:44,960 prescriptive in nature because it really dictates and tells counties what they 679 01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:49,760 should have which then also lowers the ability for counties to use those funds 680 01:01:48,079 --> 01:01:54,880 for other things. It's still a possibility but it does reduce that 681 01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:59,280 flexibility. Um and in addition guidance from the 682 01:01:56,880 --> 01:02:03,839 state has been very very slow uh with the most recent policy manual module 4 683 01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:08,640 as we call it releasing in mid December 2025. So very much of a lot of this 684 01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:12,640 language is still actively being contextualized in terms of what that 685 01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:16,640 means for programs and program changes. So just wanted to highlight those uh 686 01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:19,640 challenges that we're having with this section. 687 01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:27,920 So now we're getting to our third and final bucket of the PHSA and that is the 688 01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:32,079 full service partnership bucket which is 35%. 689 01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:36,880 Uh Humble's FSP program is called comprehensive community treatment also 690 01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:41,359 known as CCT. This is the highest intensity VHSA service for people with 691 01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:46,559 severe behavioral health needs. It's oftentimes seen as the whatever it takes 692 01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:52,559 service delivery approach where whatever that client needs for stabilization and 693 01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:57,359 support the program does it uh including housing. It focuses on individuals at 694 01:02:55,359 --> 01:03:03,520 risk of homelessness, hospitalization or justice involvement. 695 01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:08,480 How so under FSP? How is this going to under BHSA? house is going to differ. So 696 01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:12,640 all housing normally done through the FSB now will go under the housing 697 01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:17,760 intervention section because again they divided that those funds right. FSB 698 01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:22,160 programs can now serve folks who have standalone SUD diagnosis and 699 01:03:20,559 --> 01:03:27,680 incorporates the need to have low barrier access to medication admin 700 01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:32,000 administration treatment Matt services. uh the requirement there's also a 701 01:03:30,079 --> 01:03:36,880 requirement to implement evidence-based practices such as assertive forensic 702 01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:41,520 community treatment individual placement and supports also known as IPS and 703 01:03:39,119 --> 01:03:46,240 highfidelity wraparound services those are all evidence-based practices that 704 01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:50,559 the state is mandating to some degree uh with smaller counties having exemptions 705 01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:55,680 for some of them which I'll talk about in a moment 706 01:03:52,960 --> 01:04:01,280 so challenges within this bucket the FSB bucket having to reallocate the housing 707 01:03:58,319 --> 01:04:07,760 costs normally under MHSA FSP into that EHSA housing bucket uh is difficult with 708 01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:12,079 funding being limited. So again, really wanted to emphasize that original point 709 01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:15,520 from a few slides back. Uh the implementation of evidence-based 710 01:04:13,599 --> 01:04:21,359 practices requires more staffing and funding with an expectation to implement 711 01:04:18,319 --> 01:04:26,319 service delivery by July 1st, 2026. So we're dealing with some incredibly tight 712 01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:30,559 deadlines when it comes to this. Um thankfully in recent language the state 713 01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:35,039 has given us latitude to request exemptions to some of these requirements 714 01:04:33,039 --> 01:04:42,079 and some of these are being explored right now for instance for the act and 715 01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:45,359 then the individual IPS as well. So, so that those are things that we're 716 01:04:43,359 --> 01:04:49,119 actively exploring right now and we'll probably be requesting some exemptions 717 01:04:47,119 --> 01:04:54,160 for implementation at least because again the workforce capacity that these 718 01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:57,160 require were really intended for larger counters. 719 01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:05,280 So here I have like a summary slide of the PHSA challenges that I just 720 01:05:02,319 --> 01:05:10,720 mentioned to you. So it is a major system redesign uh not a funding 721 01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:14,319 increase. It actually reduces again the overall county funding. Instead of that 722 01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:20,160 95% that I mentioned, now we're only getting that 90%. Uh new requirements 723 01:05:17,599 --> 01:05:23,039 exceed the current local capacity, especially for small and rural counties. 724 01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:27,280 And that's something that I've been hearing from a lot of our um smaller 725 01:05:25,119 --> 01:05:31,839 county partners. Uh housing availability, staffing levels, and 726 01:05:29,359 --> 01:05:34,720 required services models all depend on one another. So they're all 727 01:05:33,039 --> 01:05:38,079 interconnected in some cheap way or form. So if we're struggling in one 728 01:05:36,559 --> 01:05:43,680 capacity, the struggle is going to happen in the other capacities as well. 729 01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:48,880 Counties must balance compliance with maintaining essential local services. Um 730 01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:53,359 so one really big point I wanted to highlight there and in addition their 731 01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:58,480 tight tight timelines and evolving state guidance guidance list in implementation 732 01:05:55,920 --> 01:06:03,160 challenges because again we're very much um building the ship as we fly. 733 01:06:03,599 --> 01:06:10,640 So I know it's really really tiny in this and I did provide a copy in the 734 01:06:07,839 --> 01:06:17,520 packet you have it should be at the very end of your packet. Um we also have this 735 01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:22,000 is kind of our program planning um uh mapping so to speak where we start we 736 01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:27,039 started developing the plan August October which is still kind of carrying 737 01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:31,920 over to today. We're meeting with community members and soliciting uh 738 01:06:29,359 --> 01:06:36,319 feedback and input for really spreading the word of like what the changes are 739 01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:41,440 happening through February. We have a live community survey to also advertise 740 01:06:39,359 --> 01:06:46,640 and solicit feedback from people who may not be able to attend one of our 741 01:06:43,359 --> 01:06:50,400 meetings. Um that that survey posts February 15th and there's a flyer in 742 01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:58,319 your packet as well and I'll make sure to send that your way too afterwards. Um 743 01:06:53,680 --> 01:07:03,520 and we have to submit a um a copy a draft copy of our plan by March 31st to 744 01:07:01,359 --> 01:07:09,119 the state. That's the new requirement and a new deadline for us which is 745 01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:13,920 highlighted here in red. We will be pro creating a u a community engagement 746 01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:18,160 report and making it public for everybody to review. So that way people 747 01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:21,920 see what was recommended, what were the outcomes of our meetings together. and 748 01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:26,480 it's the same document that will be presented to our behavioral health 749 01:07:23,119 --> 01:07:32,240 leadership for uh for consideration to changes or additions to programs. Um we 750 01:07:30,079 --> 01:07:37,119 will aim to have a public hearing through the behavioral health board in 751 01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:42,000 May uh hopefully at the end of May. Uh so that's another step. And then if 752 01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:45,839 everything aligns perfectly by the end of June, we should have a finalized plan 753 01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:51,520 that would then be approved by the state and then would allow us to utilize those 754 01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:57,280 funds for the programs that we plan for. So again, those are all of our um 755 01:07:55,680 --> 01:08:02,000 logistics that I wanted to kind of go over with you. And by all means, this is 756 01:07:59,839 --> 01:08:06,520 your time now to share any questions, input, anything. Thank you for your 757 01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:06,520 time. 758 01:08:07,359 --> 01:08:17,279 Good job. >> Great job as always. And uh 759 01:08:14,319 --> 01:08:22,239 I know that when I go to CalBHB stuff and hear from other counties, 760 01:08:20,239 --> 01:08:29,120 it it's a struggle for us, but we are really doing better than many. 761 01:08:26,239 --> 01:08:32,239 That's a lot. So proud of that. Anybody have Yes. 762 01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:40,279 » Oh, I I was curious if there was any other questions in the chat. 763 01:08:36,239 --> 01:08:40,279 questions. I saw some stuff 764 01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:57,880 like questions. 765 01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:06,759 No, we don't have any questions in chat with anybody 766 01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,759 for the remainder. 767 01:09:07,279 --> 01:09:18,080 » Nothing else. >> Yes. Um, so I work at the TA center 768 01:09:14,319 --> 01:09:24,719 and um, I just want to emphasize like and uplift like with so many youth and 769 01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:29,839 Oliver came to one of our bean meetings every year which we really appreciate to 770 01:09:27,440 --> 01:09:34,719 get the youth advocacy board's feedback. Um, yeah, I just want to uplift like the 771 01:09:32,480 --> 01:09:39,759 importance and the youth have said this like multiple times, maybe every time 772 01:09:37,199 --> 01:09:46,400 we've ever asked them about anything for brainstorming is just the importance of 773 01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:53,920 peer coaches and also parent partners. Um, it's been the most requested service 774 01:09:50,960 --> 01:10:00,880 and also the one that's gotten the most positive feedback 775 01:09:56,080 --> 01:10:00,880 any of the young people with. 776 01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:18,000 Just want to thank you Oliver. Um I just you you are so clear and excessive. So I 777 01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:24,400 think that really helps bridge this work and uh and keep it contemporary and keep 778 01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:29,600 our understanding up to date. Thank you for this 779 01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:32,080 and thank you for sharing this life. For sure. 780 01:10:30,159 --> 01:10:38,159 » Absolutely. >> Oliver, another another, you know, thank 781 01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:43,360 you for a wonderful job. Um a very well thought out, very well executed. 782 01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:47,199 Um I'm speaking on behalf of our full service 783 01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:52,719 partnership. Um and what what is needed there in our 784 01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:57,760 full service partnership is peer coaches. 785 01:10:54,560 --> 01:11:05,920 Um they're getting the support of full staff but um their peer coaching uh peer 786 01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:09,600 support specialists uh is very much in lack. I know I spoke with Mr. Rockwell, 787 01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:18,159 the program manager there, and what could we 788 01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:26,000 do as behavioral health board to um uplift his uh services and his reply was 789 01:11:24,159 --> 01:11:31,760 we need peer coaches really badly. So if there's 790 01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:38,360 anything that in this that can bring peer coaches into our full service 791 01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:38,360 partnership, that would be a blessing. 792 01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:41,880 first 793 01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:55,520 if you Yeah, seems like more questions. If you haven't filled out your form, 794 01:11:54,080 --> 01:12:01,199 » yeah, I'll just collect those at the end of the meeting. 795 01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:04,080 » Yeah. Or you can also do it here. >> Thank you so much. 796 01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:10,239 » I would also just like to acknowledge the work, Oliver. I know that moving 797 01:12:06,719 --> 01:12:17,280 from NHSA to BHSA, it just just doing the NHSA work was is a workflow. And 798 01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:22,159 then for all of the changes to come about the way it has and and like you 799 01:12:20,239 --> 01:12:26,480 saying, you just have some of your stuff just a couple weeks ago, you've done an 800 01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:30,080 excellent job. You're really great at communicating with the community. So, I 801 01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:34,080 just want to thank you for all your work. It's I know it's a lot. 802 01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:40,640 acknowledge that. Thank you. 803 01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:46,480 Thank you. All right, 804 01:12:43,199 --> 01:12:51,520 we will move on to communications. So, this is a time when a behavioral 805 01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:55,760 health board member can quickly and succinctly give us what's up 806 01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:58,719 with them. >> You want to start, Vernon? 807 01:12:57,040 --> 01:13:01,440 » I don't know about quickly. I have a bad habit of not being quick. So, help me uh 808 01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:07,280 with the time. >> All right. Uh I got a couple things very 809 01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:14,760 important that uh is on the plate. Uh a new Senate Bill 417 is coming out. Uh it 810 01:13:10,719 --> 01:13:14,760 is known as the 811 01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:28,719 affordable housing uh bond act of 2026. This is going before the uh if it passes 812 01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:34,480 the housing uh committee, which it did pass the appropriations 813 01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:40,320 uh committee on the 18th. The housing committee met on the 20th. Um I do not 814 01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:45,040 know anything about if that passed the house or not, but this if it does go 815 01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:52,560 through as expected, it will be going to the voters June 2nd. Uh this brings 816 01:13:48,480 --> 01:13:58,960 another $10 billion uh to the state uh in bond act money. Um 817 01:13:57,120 --> 01:14:04,239 I'm going to touch on a very sensitive subject. I was involved with two cases 818 01:14:01,199 --> 01:14:10,320 with the Eureka Police Department uh in the unhoused over the last couple of 819 01:14:06,239 --> 01:14:14,880 weeks. Um and the charges have been turned over to the district attorney's 820 01:14:12,480 --> 01:14:20,719 office. As a board member, I would like to ask our executive committee to see if 821 01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:26,080 we can uh get the DA's office uh to come do a presentation of how they handle 822 01:14:23,440 --> 01:14:32,480 mental health and homelessness in their jurisdiction because I do know that the 823 01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:37,600 history of assaults uh this past Saturday night. 824 01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:42,400 So, we got we got some kids throwing rocks at people. Um, and the two 825 01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:47,520 teenagers were turned over to their parents. Another uh adult was turned 826 01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:55,120 loose with the automobile. Um, and I'm just curious of how these 827 01:14:52,560 --> 01:15:01,040 charges do come about and and and disposed of. I do 828 01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:06,320 know the history of this is not good with the DA's office. Um, we're looking 829 01:15:04,159 --> 01:15:12,000 at the history. Um, the reason why I'm bringing it up to 830 01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:16,960 this board is because the these incidences are definitely playing a toll 831 01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:23,040 on the mental health of our unhoused citizens. 832 01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:29,760 Um, so thank you for your time. Um, and like to get some support on back and 833 01:15:25,199 --> 01:15:35,360 getting our DA's office here. Thank you. >> Margaret, do you have anything? 834 01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:40,000 » Um, yeah. Um, two things. Uh, one is, um, People probably know I live in 835 01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:45,280 McKenley. One community member here with an AOD back I mean an SUV background. 836 01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:53,280 I've been I just want to tell this board that I've been kind of concerned that in 837 01:15:49,920 --> 01:16:00,239 McKinleyville I can see that uh homelessness is really really increasing 838 01:15:56,800 --> 01:16:08,159 in just the last six months. you know, the county has a little office with some 839 01:16:03,199 --> 01:16:13,520 little services in there. Uh, but um I'm pretty comfortable talking to 840 01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:18,400 just about anybody and I have talked to some of these homeless people and they 841 01:16:16,239 --> 01:16:23,120 just keep telling me that one of the big barriers for them to come in and get 842 01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:28,320 some counseling or mental health services or or even SUV services is 843 01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:33,600 transportation. they, you know, they don't have money to 844 01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:39,679 buy, you know, tickets on the bus. They don't have, you know, etc., etc. So, you 845 01:16:37,440 --> 01:16:43,520 know, I don't know if through MHSA anything like that can happen, but I 846 01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:47,840 wanted to just kind of bring it to the board's attention that, you know, 847 01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:53,120 something as simple as transportation can be the difference between somebody 848 01:16:50,480 --> 01:17:00,320 really going way downhill and then having to have a much higher profile in 849 01:16:56,480 --> 01:17:06,719 mental health or SG services that could be abaded by more transportation. 850 01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:11,360 So I'm just raising awareness and you know McKinleyville's only I mean I drive 851 01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:17,280 here to these meetings McKinleyville's only like 10 miles from Eureka but those 852 01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:22,239 10 miles can really make a big difference if you have to walk them or 853 01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:28,080 you know do something you know or beg for rides or etc. So that that's the 854 01:17:26,239 --> 01:17:34,640 other one. And the other one is I just wanted to announce um um uh I think you 855 01:17:32,159 --> 01:17:39,840 know that I've and I used to bring Eric Thompson to meetings with me and I just 856 01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:45,440 want everybody and I told you guys when when he got real sick, etc. So anyway, 857 01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:50,880 he's had some more really serious health problems and um he made the painful 858 01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:58,239 decision recently with the help of his extended family to move to Rochester, 859 01:17:54,560 --> 01:18:03,600 New York where he has an uncle, a father who must be getting kind of old because 860 01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:07,760 he's in his late 50s. Um and uh he wanted me to tell the board that he's no 861 01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:13,120 longer in Humble County, but that he's thinking of all of us. I I'll kind of 862 01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:18,400 keep you know in touch with him and uh he was a very important person a few 863 01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:26,000 years ago by being in charge of the substance use committee by uh uh doing 864 01:18:22,480 --> 01:18:30,960 groups at the hope center etc. So we'll really miss him and hopefully he'll do 865 01:18:28,159 --> 01:18:37,199 some of that in Rochester, New York. He had to fly out on Tuesday and and I saw 866 01:18:34,239 --> 01:18:43,440 the news that planes were skidding off the runway in Rochester, New York. So, I 867 01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:46,640 hope his plane wasn't on. >> Thank you, 868 01:18:45,440 --> 01:18:52,320 » Bob. >> Hi, everybody.

Um, we've got a place to do that. So, we'll see how that brings off. 881 01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:59,199 » Thank you, Peter. 882 01:19:56,560 --> 01:20:03,600 » Hello, everybody. Um, a couple 883 01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:06,719 tidbits. One, um, Humble Bridge Wellness, our collaborative partnership 884 01:20:05,199 --> 01:20:12,800 with Department of Health and Human Services is is going well. We'd really 885 01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:18,960 like to, um, have twice as many wellness coaches out in our regions. Um, but 886 01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:24,159 we're tiny but mighty and responding to uh referrals. Um, those wellness 887 01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:28,480 coaches, what's the difference is it's not it's not grant funded. I mean, it's 888 01:20:26,239 --> 01:20:32,239 grant funed right now, but we'll be shifting their activities to what their 889 01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:36,400 children youth behavioral health initiative multi-payer fee schedule. So, 890 01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:40,080 there's certain things they can't do and can't do that we can recoup funds and 891 01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:46,880 we're doing time studies to look at how much of their salaries we actually truly 892 01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:53,040 can recoup. Um to my chagrin, case management is not 893 01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:57,600 one of those activities. So um so that gets challenging, but it's also very 894 01:20:54,880 --> 01:21:04,400 inclusive of the child. So balancing that work, but in lie of that, the 895 01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:11,760 county office uh has also become a provider for ECS at Calam work. So we're 896 01:21:08,480 --> 01:21:16,800 onboarding our wellness coaches as many health workers as well so that they can 897 01:21:13,440 --> 01:21:22,560 have a small case load of homeless fostering youth to work with and do 898 01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:27,040 preventative and case management types of activities. So um so that's exciting. 899 01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:32,000 So we intend on braiding those funds reaching more people sustaining 900 01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:37,840 positions that's their goal. Um and another offering we have some trainers 901 01:21:34,159 --> 01:21:44,640 in um in a program called be sensitive be brave. There's two sections of be 902 01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:50,480 sensitive be brave. One is um training school staff across the board on how to 903 01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:55,679 identify warning signs of mental health issues and how to make referrals. And 904 01:21:52,960 --> 01:22:00,800 then the other module is around suicide prevention. So, we're offering that to 905 01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:05,840 districts as well as um at the county office and um and we're working with the 906 01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:10,400 Calpali social work program and providing that training there. So, so 907 01:22:08,719 --> 01:22:15,480 there's few things that are >> happening 908 01:22:12,480 --> 01:22:15,480 updates. 909 01:22:16,239 --> 01:22:19,239 Sean 910 01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:29,560 » very 911 01:22:30,239 --> 01:22:34,600 move on to sister. 912 01:22:38,159 --> 01:22:42,120 You have any question for us? 913 01:22:44,480 --> 01:22:50,800 I can provide a little update around the navigation set. 914 01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:56,800 » What? That would be awesome. >> Okay. Um, 915 01:22:53,520 --> 01:23:02,080 so, um, noting my frustration with Natalie Aoyo, I wish she was here today 916 01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:09,040 because me noting my frustration with her, um, actually helped. And um we had 917 01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:18,639 a couple of meetings with a couple of supervisors and city of Eureka staff and 918 01:23:14,159 --> 01:23:26,080 um Justin Zable and others and got some agreements in place and 919 01:23:22,239 --> 01:23:35,280 now our architect Jay Johnson for the county is now meeting weekly with um the 920 01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:41,679 Justin Zables architect and Justin has hired an engineer and they're working on 921 01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:47,600 the plans and and getting the permitting done. We were able to get an extension 922 01:23:45,440 --> 01:23:53,040 with our HAP funding that we were going to pay um the lease with. So, 923 01:23:51,520 --> 01:23:57,679 we're kind of switching. We're flip-flopping some of the funding that 924 01:23:55,679 --> 01:24:04,400 is going to be used for that. Actually, I've had to flip-flop it three times in 925 01:23:59,920 --> 01:24:08,239 the last five years. Um, but it does appear that the project is moving 926 01:24:06,480 --> 01:24:14,960 forward and um, the last timeline I saw and it 927 01:24:12,239 --> 01:24:24,320 was really rough, but it does appear that thing may be done, they say they 928 01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:32,800 want it to be done by the end of 2026. I think it'll probably be more like June 929 01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:41,520 or July 2027, but that's better than nothing. So, I feel a little better 930 01:24:36,239 --> 01:24:46,880 about that. Um, we don't have the 90%, this is the important part for this 931 01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:52,560 group. We don't have the 90% completion of the plans yet. And I don't want to 932 01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:58,880 start the community meetings um and really do uh program planning 933 01:24:55,679 --> 01:25:04,480 until we get that 90% completion because we need that for our lease to be valid. 934 01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:10,400 Um so when that happens, we'll start community 935 01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:15,760 meetings and program planning around what all we'll have um at the navigation 936 01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:18,800 center. But 937 01:25:18,239 --> 01:25:24,040 » movement. >> So I'm hopeful again. 938 01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:24,040 » Yes. 939 01:25:24,719 --> 01:25:28,960 » Thank you for that. >> Yeah. 940 01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:38,080 and we drop. >> Yeah. So um I was thinking about like 941 01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:42,880 given the BHSA presentation how as noted that's this is such a heavy lift such a 942 01:25:40,239 --> 01:25:47,199 huge transition for our systems and one of many like you if I just think about 943 01:25:45,199 --> 01:25:53,040 in this moment the past present and future things among others we just did 944 01:25:50,639 --> 01:25:59,360 mobile crisis benefit we did care court we just started SB43 945 01:25:56,320 --> 01:26:03,520 um BHSA and other QI initiatives are including a number of 946 01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:09,360 PPPs that are going to be rolled out and have to be implemented over the next um 947 01:26:06,639 --> 01:26:14,800 few years. I wanted to just note too that the kind of the impacts are so far 948 01:26:12,239 --> 01:26:21,520 reaching. So, you know, absolutely Oliver's gift is huge and the change to 949 01:26:18,159 --> 01:26:25,520 how BHSA will work really impacts everybody throughout our systems. So the 950 01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:29,920 integrated plan now is going to require QI in all programs to collect and 951 01:26:28,239 --> 01:26:33,120 present data that they've never had to do in the past. There's the 952 01:26:31,440 --> 01:26:39,040 implementation like I mentioned of the EDP. So there's just like really broad 953 01:26:35,840 --> 01:26:46,000 work across the system that um that and all the other changes are um are 954 01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:49,520 creating for us. Um, so, so that's just continuing to say that because I feel 955 01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:53,679 like staff do this work sometimes without recognition for how much they're 956 01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:58,560 caring and it can be a lot especially because we still are pretty understaffed 957 01:26:56,320 --> 01:27:04,320 in many of our programs and parts of our system. Um, I also wanted to mention 958 01:27:01,440 --> 01:27:09,920 part of all these new initiatives um means continued and increasing audits. 959 01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:15,040 In March, we have three audits scheduled and all of that takes lots of time and 960 01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:18,560 effort and followup and if things aren't all exactly in place, then we have 961 01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:24,719 corrective action plans that we have to attend to. So, that's a lot of work as 962 01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:28,800 well. Um, and it's it's good. you know, it keeps us doing the work in ways that 963 01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:32,000 are um legal and ethical and with integrity and making sure that we're 964 01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:36,480 providing good services to the community and that our practices are um in 965 01:27:34,639 --> 01:27:40,719 alignment with with how we want to serve. Um I think I mentioned here that 966 01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:45,280 we have a new medical director. Maybe I didn't. She came on four, five, six 967 01:27:43,199 --> 01:27:50,719 weeks ago now. She's really amazing and one of the things I love about her is 968 01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:54,400 that she's super compliance focused. And so she's just like poking holes in all 969 01:27:52,719 --> 01:27:59,199 the things to make sure that we're doing things right. And while that feels 970 01:27:56,960 --> 01:28:06,639 daunting, it's also really reassuring to me as a also compliance worried person. 971 01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:11,280 So anyway, it's a nice addition for us. Um, the other things I just wanted to 972 01:28:08,639 --> 01:28:15,840 mention is we're just starting work on our budget planning for next fiscal year 973 01:28:13,440 --> 01:28:21,280 and it is only January, but we start this work very early. And so we're 974 01:28:18,159 --> 01:28:26,000 looking at um how we're going to kind of create a budget for next year that 975 01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:29,840 continues to keep us fiscally solvent. We've talked about the the big deficit 976 01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:33,520 that we've had over the years and and really the great improvement that we 977 01:28:31,199 --> 01:28:39,199 made. And so I'm glad about that and just wanting to continue to do that work 978 01:28:35,679 --> 01:28:46,159 in responsible ways. Um and with that also comes um a renewal or re-execution 979 01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:51,040 of a number of contracts. And I just because I was interested double checked 980 01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:56,880 and in behavioral health we have about 150 contracts annually which is a pretty 981 01:28:53,679 --> 01:29:04,239 large number that we um use to do all the work and and that we have to 982 01:29:00,719 --> 01:29:11,679 manage and support and uh carry forward. So anyway, lots going on. Um, lots of 983 01:29:07,199 --> 01:29:16,560 good work and lots of hard work. >> Thanks, 984 01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:20,719 » deputy directors. I'm gonna start online with chair. So, I mix it up. Yeah, 985 01:29:19,440 --> 01:29:23,840 mixing it up. >> Jeremy. 986 01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:27,120 » All right. Well, um, in the children's world, a lot of a lot of the work right 987 01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:31,760 now that that we're primarily focusing on are some of the things that Oliver 988 01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:37,040 mentioned. Uh specifically with uh highfidelity wraparound is a new 989 01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:41,679 requirement for us to um offer wraparound to behavioral health 990 01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:47,760 behavioral health youth that are meeting that full service partnership level of 991 01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:53,199 need of service. And so that'll be um we have to have that service online really 992 01:29:50,480 --> 01:29:58,800 by by July of this year. So we're we're in the early stages of a lot of the 993 01:29:55,120 --> 01:30:02,560 planning. Um, we have outreach out to potentially some organizational 994 01:30:00,480 --> 01:30:06,960 providers that that we would be able to contract with that have staff to provide 995 01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:11,679 that service. Uh, but that that'll be a heavy lift. Uh, getting the wraparound 996 01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:16,320 program up and running. Um, along with that are are some other evidence-based 997 01:30:13,920 --> 01:30:22,639 practices that are are being mandated by the state that we also um lift up in in 998 01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:27,840 fairly short amount of time. I think I think these are also by midyear this 999 01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:32,960 year. So we have to um have the ability to offer functional family therapy, 1000 01:30:30,159 --> 01:30:38,320 multi-sistic therapy and parent child interaction therapy. So those are three 1001 01:30:35,920 --> 01:30:43,840 um youth focused evidence-based practices. The first two are more uh 1002 01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:49,440 family systems work. Um both both have some juvenile justice and system 1003 01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:56,480 involved youth components. Um and then PCIT is is focused on younger I think 1004 01:30:52,800 --> 01:31:00,560 it's 0 to7 um age children and and services for them and their caregivers 1005 01:30:58,719 --> 01:31:06,000 and working on the relationship issues between parent and child. So um also we 1006 01:31:04,159 --> 01:31:12,000 have outreach out to organizational providers to see if they're interested 1007 01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:16,719 in training training their staff. Uh so those programs may be some combination 1008 01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:23,360 of county county staff running a program or an ORC provider also running that 1009 01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:28,400 program. Um so we're in the again early stages of planning. Um all of those 1010 01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:33,840 practices the state is providing funding for the training and implementation side 1011 01:31:30,480 --> 01:31:39,760 of it. So that is um that is helpful, but um certainly will be a a shift in in 1012 01:31:37,199 --> 01:31:47,199 staffing and and having to focus on all the fidelity pieces and getting those 1013 01:31:41,440 --> 01:31:52,000 practices up to um up to fidelity. So along with that just a lot of work to 1014 01:31:49,120 --> 01:31:56,639 continue. There are regular services. Um uh one exciting thing is um 1015 01:31:54,080 --> 01:32:03,679 environmental alternatives or EA family services um are in the early stages of 1016 01:31:59,600 --> 01:32:09,520 opening up a a an STRTP program, a short-term residential treatment 1017 01:32:05,199 --> 01:32:16,000 program. So that is um that is for youth that need that level of um residential 1018 01:32:13,120 --> 01:32:19,440 treatment. Um, typically those are those are through child welfare, child welfare 1019 01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:25,679 placements, but it could also be a probation placement. Um, but that'll be 1020 01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:32,880 a local in um facility in Eureka. I believe they're focusing on uh about six 1021 01:32:28,719 --> 01:32:37,280 beds for uh for females. And so um it's exciting to have that because right now 1022 01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:41,840 whenever a youth needs an STRTP placement, they do have to go out of our 1023 01:32:39,199 --> 01:32:46,480 county. And so that presents quite a bit of challenge as far as coordination and 1024 01:32:43,679 --> 01:32:51,120 it's just difficult for coordination and then uh obviously the closer we can keep 1025 01:32:49,520 --> 01:32:54,719 youth to home and to their their supports around here the better. So 1026 01:32:52,639 --> 01:32:59,760 we're excited about that um that new facility. Um we're in the in the early 1027 01:32:57,360 --> 01:33:04,639 planning stages of that as well. So I'm hopefully that will be up and running 1028 01:33:01,760 --> 01:33:08,000 sometime this year. So lots of lots of work being done along with our regular 1029 01:33:06,480 --> 01:33:13,840 services, but those are kind of the the big things right now. So, I can uh pass 1030 01:33:11,679 --> 01:33:16,239 it back to you guys. >> Thanks, Jeremy. It's nice to hear your 1031 01:33:15,440 --> 01:33:23,239 voice. >> Thank you. 1032 01:33:17,199 --> 01:33:23,239 » Good stuff. That's exciting about uh TR. 1033 01:33:24,159 --> 01:33:33,199 » Jack, do you have any >> um I don't think a lot. I mean, I think 1034 01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:38,239 some of the things that we talked about the HSA already certainly on forefront 1035 01:33:35,840 --> 01:33:44,080 of what I'm working on, what's happening with the housing and changes with the 1036 01:33:41,440 --> 01:33:52,480 FSP and um I do uh was thinking we um 1037 01:33:50,080 --> 01:34:00,159 got a we're working on a contract and we've we've started the process uh with 1038 01:33:56,880 --> 01:34:06,239 um moving some individuals to the new long-term care facility called Windsor 1039 01:34:02,719 --> 01:34:10,880 U, which I think is in Sacramento area. Uh, but this has been a really um 1040 01:34:09,040 --> 01:34:15,600 they're kind of a new new facilities that are brand new and they have beds 1041 01:34:14,159 --> 01:34:21,040 available, but they're also a big facility. So, they've taken a few of our 1042 01:34:18,400 --> 01:34:28,159 folks. Uh, some of those individuals have been uh sitting on SV and other for 1043 01:34:25,120 --> 01:34:33,920 quite a while. you know, lots lots of out there waiting for someone. So, uh, 1044 01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:39,600 from from that perspective, public guardian perspective, it's been nice to 1045 01:34:35,679 --> 01:34:46,159 see some movement there and and from the MRT perspective, uh, from the mobile, 1046 01:34:42,880 --> 01:34:50,719 you know, response, uh, having bed availability up at SB has been 1047 01:34:48,239 --> 01:34:56,600 noticeable recently. So, you go to the hospitals and you 1048 01:34:52,400 --> 01:34:56,600 know, like we're probably 1049 01:34:57,520 --> 01:35:02,880 How many beds does this western have, Jeff? 1050 01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:08,080 » I don't know. I want to say somewhere 80 90 beds. They have different levels of 1051 01:35:05,199 --> 01:35:15,520 care there. So, um they have some unlocked, some locked, some sniff, STP, 1052 01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:19,440 and then some beds for forensic. So, I mentioned SD, but there's been a couple 1053 01:35:17,760 --> 01:35:27,920 folks, I think, through the jail that have um that have uh been moved to two. 1054 01:35:25,280 --> 01:35:33,520 So, Murphy conservatorships in the jail that was kind of big push. 1055 01:35:30,480 --> 01:35:36,880 It was Murphy Conservatorships, but they're taking other folks from the 1056 01:35:35,760 --> 01:35:41,440 city, too. So, >> wow. 1057 01:35:38,880 --> 01:35:44,719 takes it from everywhere. The Windsor takes it from all counties or 1058 01:35:43,199 --> 01:35:49,120 » Yeah, I'm sure Windsor has a contract with multiple counties. Yeah. So, not 1059 01:35:46,960 --> 01:35:54,080 just >> sometimes we have 1060 01:35:51,600 --> 01:36:01,760 someone that's been in care and they'll have a bad episode in in a facility 1061 01:35:59,440 --> 01:36:06,480 10 years ago and they'll never be allowed to be back in that facility 1062 01:36:03,920 --> 01:36:13,360 because something happened 10 years ago. And so this is a relief for um folks 1063 01:36:10,480 --> 01:36:16,880 that have been penalized like that over over time. So appreciate hearing that. 1064 01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:22,560 Thank you for >> Yeah, it's been uh just an interesting 1065 01:36:20,719 --> 01:36:27,600 obser. I haven't been to Safari in a while or meeting with the SB. So I'm not 1066 01:36:24,960 --> 01:36:32,480 sure, but it's just been very noticeable that 1067 01:36:29,120 --> 01:36:38,800 the the CSU or or Oh yeah, we have some beds. We have a bed. Right. So when you 1068 01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:42,719 go into St. and Josie are knowing that SV has a bed. You're kind of like, oh 1069 01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:49,679 yeah, SV's got a bed. I'll see your person, right? If they don't, you're 1070 01:36:47,199 --> 01:36:53,119 real a lot. 1071 01:36:51,280 --> 01:36:58,239 It's been just noticeable last couple weeks and I imagine some of it might be 1072 01:36:55,040 --> 01:37:06,280 staffing too, but I think uh I'm sure some of it's getting folks. 1073 01:37:01,920 --> 01:37:06,280 » That's wonderful. That is really what 1074 01:37:08,080 --> 01:37:14,560 » um just to piggy back off what Jack was saying um you know we are starting to 1075 01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:18,880 feel the difference and seeing the difference of new beds, new facilities 1076 01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:22,159 starting to open up as we felt that with Hyperion. 1077 01:37:20,400 --> 01:37:27,760 um that's been a great resource for us for step downs from severance. So uh 1078 01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:32,239 that's been helpful. We've noticed that and and now with this new contract we're 1079 01:37:29,679 --> 01:37:37,440 noticing as well. So that's been good. That allows us to, you know, move people 1080 01:37:35,280 --> 01:37:41,440 along in the continuum of care more quickly and open things up to keep 1081 01:37:39,679 --> 01:37:47,119 people more local that are having a crisis. So that's been um enormously 1082 01:37:45,280 --> 01:37:51,280 helpful. and also some of the work that Jessica Duke is doing as uh the the 1083 01:37:49,600 --> 01:37:58,400 manager hospital administrator of environments. She's put in place um a 1084 01:37:54,880 --> 01:38:05,199 process for how to deliver packets to these facilities in a way that gives 1085 01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:09,520 them current information with, you know, that's more relevant than things that 1086 01:38:07,280 --> 01:38:15,199 are buried into somebody's record. like maybe in in 1986 they tried to light 1087 01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:19,920 their mattress on fire and so they you know some facilities will use that to 1088 01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:26,719 like oh no this person is an arson risk and they won't accept them. So she's 1089 01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:30,800 seen some movement um uh acceptance um now we kind of change that process on 1090 01:38:28,960 --> 01:38:35,760 it. So she's really coming up with some really nice ideas around helping people 1091 01:38:33,679 --> 01:38:40,800 to get the care that they need in the systems they need. Um so I just wanted 1092 01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:45,920 to say that and um and then just a couple other short updates. We are we 1093 01:38:43,920 --> 01:38:53,199 have implemented SB43. You know that's the expansion of the grave disability um 1094 01:38:49,199 --> 01:38:59,679 criteria and so things are going okay. I just really um love the everybody coming 1095 01:38:57,040 --> 01:39:04,239 together to work on solutions um for care for people and pathways of care has 1096 01:39:01,679 --> 01:39:09,679 been wonderful with our SUD community and others. So that's been great. And 1097 01:39:07,280 --> 01:39:13,679 the training efforts uh both on law enforcement side and as well as our side 1098 01:39:12,159 --> 01:39:20,480 and bringing people together has been great. So um you know that's that's off 1099 01:39:17,520 --> 01:39:25,199 and running. And then lastly, uh we do have a new patients rights advocacy um 1100 01:39:23,280 --> 01:39:30,400 entity. They're named Smith Waters Group. Um I met with uh Bill and Frank 1101 01:39:28,239 --> 01:39:35,440 Smithwaters last week. Really great fellas and I'm really happy about the 1102 01:39:33,119 --> 01:39:40,560 service that they're providing us. So, we're having a meet and greet this week 1103 01:39:37,360 --> 01:39:44,400 with all of uh interested parties and uh the to learn about what they're doing 1104 01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:51,600 and they've been around for a long time and provided have a great reputation of 1105 01:39:48,239 --> 01:39:56,639 being great client advocates. So, we're uh they have some really stable staff. 1106 01:39:55,199 --> 01:40:01,199 I've been with them for a long time, which is 1107 01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:07,119 good indication that they're doing they're doing something right. And um so 1108 01:40:05,119 --> 01:40:13,119 yeah, so Smith Waters Group and Bill where they see they're from Sacramento 1109 01:40:09,679 --> 01:40:19,440 area and they have expanded out quite a bit um since uh SP 1110 01:40:16,639 --> 01:40:24,159 2275 was implemented, you know, with a probable cause in the emergency 1111 01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:29,360 departments. Um so they've expanded pretty significantly. So they're in most 1112 01:40:26,480 --> 01:40:31,920 of the partnership counties except for like Sacramento I don't think they're in 1113 01:40:30,719 --> 01:40:36,239 Sacramento even though that's where they're based out of. 1114 01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:40,440 » Uh but a lot of other counties they're going to northern the north state. 1115 01:40:40,480 --> 01:40:47,000 » That's great. Wonderful stuff. 1116 01:40:47,760 --> 01:40:55,679 Um, safety committee updates. If any you have anything from Carter, 1117 01:40:53,679 --> 01:40:58,880 » I actually had to miss that meeting, but I know that that Oliver came and 1118 01:40:57,920 --> 01:41:04,719 presented to >> Oh, that's right. to that meeting. And I 1119 01:41:02,560 --> 01:41:08,400 presume you did a since we're a short we're pretty short meeting. I presume 1120 01:41:06,480 --> 01:41:13,679 you did kind of a condensed version for the Absolutely. for that. Did you get 1121 01:41:10,880 --> 01:41:17,600 good feedback from in terms of the SUD inclusion stuff? Yeah, we had a couple 1122 01:41:15,760 --> 01:41:22,159 of folks that from Bear River that attended 1123 01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:27,800 » um and also from uh Raphael was there too and yeah, they provide really good 1124 01:41:24,080 --> 01:41:27,800 feedback for sure. 1125 01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:36,560 » Good engagement. >> Yeah, thank you for having me there. 1126 01:41:32,239 --> 01:41:42,159 » All right. Uh we are at we have no committees that's 1127 01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:48,560 chairman, vice chair's not here. I will say I have two announcements. Uh I'm 1128 01:41:45,280 --> 01:41:54,320 still working on a March retreat for behavioral health board members 1129 01:41:51,679 --> 01:42:00,320 with many of you might be available. And then um just found out today that CIT is 1130 01:41:58,080 --> 01:42:06,960 going to be postponed until the end of May. So 1131 01:42:02,560 --> 01:42:10,639 that's um both sad and a blessing. >> Is that the local training that you're 1132 01:42:09,199 --> 01:42:15,840 speaking of? Okay. >> The one that I'm the coordinator of. 1133 01:42:12,880 --> 01:42:20,880 Yes. So, yes, Muna just found that out right 1134 01:42:18,719 --> 01:42:27,040 before this meeting. So, I will send that info out. 1135 01:42:24,320 --> 01:42:31,840 Um, and again, I'm as always very proud of the work we do in this community. We 1136 01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:37,040 can always do more, but we are kicking butt 1137 01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:40,159 a lot. Um, 1138 01:42:38,560 --> 01:42:47,520 Nav Center, we already heard the great update. Care for 1139 01:42:43,520 --> 01:42:50,960 No, I know that we've been helping um encourage people to go to their care 1140 01:42:49,119 --> 01:42:55,280 court meetings with the judges. So, that's been good. I don't know if you 1141 01:42:53,199 --> 01:43:02,719 have anything else to say on that. >> Uh no, we've still petition been quite a 1142 01:42:57,600 --> 01:43:11,040 few petitions and like in the 40s um and maybe about 20 that have been active. Um 1143 01:43:08,239 --> 01:43:16,480 so, yeah, that's been coming right along. 1144 01:43:13,440 --> 01:43:21,520 Wednesday. Um, yeah, two people from Fairport came to one of our T staff 1145 01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:29,520 meetings and gave a really excellent presentation that answered a lot of 1146 01:43:23,679 --> 01:43:34,880 questions. So, if anyone and all um, no, I just thought that it was so if 1147 01:43:32,719 --> 01:43:41,199 you ever have questions about care for it was just it answered a lot. 1148 01:43:38,239 --> 01:43:45,760 » Thank you. versus triage. Do you have still moving 1149 01:43:44,480 --> 01:43:49,679 along? >> Yeah, there's not really an update. Is 1150 01:43:47,840 --> 01:43:54,960 there any? Not that I know. If Nancy is on her, she can any updates on crisis 1151 01:43:53,280 --> 01:44:00,080 triage. Nancy, >> sure. For some reason, my video is 1152 01:43:57,199 --> 01:44:05,840 disabled. Sorry about that. Disabled by the host. Not sure why. Anyway, uh yeah, 1153 01:44:03,280 --> 01:44:09,520 Crisis Triage Center is moving forward right now. They're working with an 1154 01:44:07,280 --> 01:44:15,679 architect and looking to hire the general contractor to get the ground 1155 01:44:11,679 --> 01:44:22,000 broken uh on on building it. They're still hoping to be on track for to have 1156 01:44:18,719 --> 01:44:26,880 it completed by June of 2027. Uh that timeline might get pushed out a 1157 01:44:24,480 --> 01:44:32,040 bit, but it is on track and moving forward. Uh, same with the seer vir 1158 01:44:37,119 --> 01:44:46,080 too much. It's so awesome. Thank you, Nancy. 1159 01:44:42,560 --> 01:44:50,639 Does anyone have any future items? I got a note about something to executive 1160 01:44:48,239 --> 01:44:56,320 committee about DA's office, but doesn't have any future items they'd like to 1161 01:44:53,440 --> 01:45:00,400 see? I don't have a future item, but I 1162 01:44:58,239 --> 01:45:06,320 remembered that point in time count is in the mornings. Um, if you if if you 1163 01:45:04,080 --> 01:45:14,080 have time and you haven't signed up, please do so. Um, we still need some 1164 01:45:10,400 --> 01:45:23,280 more volunteers. Uh, I'll be there bright and early at 7 a.m. Um, if you 1165 01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:29,520 have time and are able to do it, there's a there's a training online that's like 1166 01:45:25,760 --> 01:45:36,400 a little video or PowerPoint training that you need to take to know what to 1167 01:45:32,800 --> 01:45:43,040 expect. Um, but it's very, very simple and Robert Worth will answer any 1168 01:45:39,360 --> 01:45:51,040 question that you ever have. Um, last I heard we were lacking especially 1169 01:45:46,560 --> 01:45:57,440 um folks in the east area. Um, we do have one uh staff person that's going to 1170 01:45:54,400 --> 01:46:04,080 go and we're still working on connecting uh with staff that work at Camo and 1171 01:45:59,679 --> 01:46:11,040 other areas. Um, but yeah, we were, last I heard, we had 92 1172 01:46:07,840 --> 01:46:18,960 people signed up to volunteer and we really need about 120, but we'll manage 1173 01:46:14,719 --> 01:46:23,600 with the 92 or, you know, we'll end up with a few more people. Um, but some 1174 01:46:21,440 --> 01:46:28,480 folks sign up and then don't show up, too. So, if you have time and you're 1175 01:46:26,480 --> 01:46:34,159 able and able to do that, it's it only takes an 1176 01:46:31,119 --> 01:46:38,560 hour or so of your time. Um, we have asked for a lot of 1177 01:46:36,480 --> 01:46:43,920 volunteers of staff because it's so important for our community to because 1178 01:46:41,280 --> 01:46:48,000 the point in time count is used to allocate the funding, the state funding 1179 01:46:46,080 --> 01:46:55,440 that comes to counties for homeless services. So important for for us to 1180 01:46:52,560 --> 01:47:02,119 continue to have good numbers and accurate numbers 1181 01:46:57,600 --> 01:47:02,119 um is good for funding 1182 01:47:03,119 --> 01:47:10,480 from that pitch.
