RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No. 5025 authorizing the transfer of appropriations in the amount of $27,387 from Behavioral Health Services Division – Mental Health Services Act Innovation (0467/5899) to General Services – ISF Fleet Services (0064) for the purchase of one (1) vehicle for the implementation of the Partners in Aging program.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action increases appropriations in General Services – Fleet Services (0064) and reduces appropriations in Behavioral Health Services (5899) by $27,387. This purchase is funded 100% by Mental Health Services Act funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Partners in Aging project seeks to provide more effective treatment for individuals who are frail, homebound, and suffer from multiple physical and mental impairments, especially those with co-occurring substance use disorders. Additionally, this project will utilize a home-based peer component to engage older adults who have been identified by Psychiatric Emergency Services (PES) as those in need of additional care. Peer support workers will link individuals discharged from PES to appropriate services and also provide in-home peer support services including efforts to increase clients’ skills in daily living activities as well as engagement with appropriate resources and social networks. Purchase of a vehicle will allow County to implement the Partners in Aging project.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this appropriation adjustment is not approved, the Division will not be able to purchase a vehicle to implement the Partners in Aging project.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
