Information

Referral History:

On July 26, 2022, the Health Services Department requested Board approval to execute Contract #74-639-2 with Shelter, Inc. for the continuation of their specialty housing services for adults participating in substance use disorder treatment through June 30, 2023. The item was removed from the consent calendar and instead heard as a discussion item. At the conclusion of the discussion, the item was continued to the August 2, 2022 meeting. In preparation for the continued discussion, the Board directed the Health Services Department to prepare a status report inclusive of a list of the sober living environments (SLE) housing providers subcontracted with Shelter, Inc., payment status of invoices received by Shelter, Inc. from all the subcontractors, and payment status of invoices received by the County from Shelter, Inc. Additionally, the Board referred to the Finance Committee a report on the Health Services Department's contract management and invoice payment oversight processes. At the August 2, 2022 meeting, the Board authorized Health Services to enter into the contract with Shelter Inc. effective July 1, 2022, but referred this item to the Finance Committee to review information regarding Health Services' contracts with Shelter Inc. including but not limited to:

The number of beds that are currently available
Any outstanding invoices from operators
An outreach plan that includes a time frame for implementation
An examination of whether or not referrals are being properly extended to Shelter, Inc.
