FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action has an annual cost savings of $163,436 with $40,295 pension costs already included. (100% Whole Person Care Grant)

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department recently made changes within its Whole Person Care/Community Connect program. The Sobering Center project was decommissioned and the funds were re-allocated to other projects within the program. Whole Person Care (WPC) is a pilot program within Medi-Cal 2020, California's section 1115 Medicaid Waiver. WPC is designed to improve the health of high-risk, high-utilizing patients through the coordinated delivery of physical health, behavioral health, housing support, food stability, and other critical community services. Community Connect enhanced and coordinated case management model provides social services including assistance with accessing public benefits (SNAP,SI, GA) and integrated care coordination. Social resources are provided to patients in addition to transportation, and money management services.

The Department is requesting to cancel four (4) Substance Abuse Counselor Trainee positions, one (1) Substance Abuse Program supervisor position, two (2) Mental Health Community Support Worker positions, and one (1) Registered Nurse position, and to add two (2) Clerk-Senior Level positions, one (1) Health Planner-Evaluator Level A position, one (1) Pubic Health Program Specialist 1 position, one (1) Administrative Services Assistant III position, and one (1) Public Health Nurse position to increase the case management staff to provide services to the clients within the Community Connect programs.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Whole Person Care/Communityconnect Program will not have adequate case management staff to provide services to its clients.
