Title

Joint resolution accepting the Lake County grant and program income and authorizing an emergency appropriation in the amount of $258,605 for the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Access Increases in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (AIMS).

 

Staff Summary

                     The $258,605 Lake County grant and program income will be used to fund an increase in mental health and substance abuse services.

                     The funding will allow additional staff hours for an Advanced Practice Nurse, a full-time Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a part-time Medical Assistant, a part-time Call Center Clerk, part-time Clerk/Translator and part-time Driver as well as one-time IT investment improvements for module development specifically for substance abuse and behavioral health.

                     The grant and program income funding was not previously appropriated because the grant resources were secured after the County’s adoption of the FY17 budget.
