§ 7119. Evaluation Criteria.
(C) Project increases capacity for community based mental health crisis services. The Application shall identify the number of Crisis Stabilization and Crisis Residential Treatment beds that will be added and how the number added impacts the Target Population(s) and translates into a number of additional individuals that can be served in the community. (Maximum 7 points)
(D) Project expands and improves timely access to community based mental health crisis services. The Application shall address how access is expanded and improved for the community. Examples include extending hours of existing services; adding locations where services can be accessed by consumers and their family members; undertaking efforts to timely connect consumers to crisis services from other venues like hospitals; engaging in new outreach to families and consumers so they know new or expanded services are available; and addressing cultural, language, and other barriers unique to the community. (Maximum 7 points)
(E) Project is qualitatively different than crisis services delivered in an institutional setting (such as a hospital emergency room, an in-patient hospital setting or a law enforcement vehicle) and clearly describes the proposed staffing, the community setting in which the Programs will be offered and the building or vehicles in which services will be provided. (Maximum 5 points)
(A) Project fits in with the continuum of care as it presently exists in the community. The Application identifies the shortcomings that exist within the continuum and how the Project will improve the existing continuum of care for individuals utilizing mental health crisis services, including whether Applicant contemplates submitting an application to the Mental Health Oversight and Accountability Commission for triage personnel. (Maximum 8 points)
(B) Application identifies working relationships with Related Supports that already exist and which will be established to enhance and expand community-based collaboration designed to maximize and expedite access to crisis services for the purpose of avoiding unnecessary hospitalization and incarceration and improving wellness for individuals with mental health disorders and their families. For example, an enhancement may include training of local law enforcement, current crisis providers, hospitals and other related providers on how to properly respond to individuals experiencing a mental health crisis. An expansion may include adding a supportive housing provider to the local collaboration for post-crisis residential placements. (Maximum 12 points)
(viii) The value of the Program(s), such as mitigation of costs to the county, law enforcement, or hospitals. An example of such value is: The utilization of Crisis Residential Treatment costs “X” dollars and utilization of inpatient hospitalization would have cost “X” dollars, therefore value approximates “X” dollars. (Maximum 3 points)
(D) Application includes a budget that details annual projected operating costs and a description of new Program funding sources with amounts and cash flow projections and/or how existing funding will be redirected to provide on-going support for new and expanded services, including documentation such as funding letters, minutes from the Board of Supervisors meeting evidencing approval of the budget, or other documentation acceptable to the Authority. (Maximum 3 points)
(i) If a service provider that will operate Program(s) has already been identified, written plans and policies in place for the care that will be provided shall be described. These include statement of admission and discharge criteria; psychiatric policies and practices; description of range of services offered; and information about the service provider including expertise in mental health care, purpose, goals, and services of the organization.
(ii) For proposed Crisis Residential Treatment Programs, includes confirmation that structured day and evening services will be available seven days a week, and services will include individual and group counseling; crisis intervention; planned activities; counseling, with available members of the consumer's family, when indicated in the consumer's treatment or rehabilitation plan; the development of community support systems for consumers to maximize their utilization of non-mental health community resources; pre-vocational or vocational counseling; consumer advocacy, including assisting consumers to develop their own advocacy skills; an activity program that encourages socialization within the program and general community, and which links the consumer to resources which are available after leaving the program; and use of the residential environment to assist consumers in the acquisition, testing, or refinement of community living and interpersonal skills.
