Title
Consider recommendations regarding an application and letter of interest to request one-time state funding for Homeless Mentally Ill Outreach and Treatment, as follows:
a) Adopt a Resolution authorizing the County to participate in the Homeless Mentally Ill Outreach and Treatment one-time funding opportunity and designating the Director of Behavioral Wellness as the County’s single point of contact for the funding allocation;
b) Authorize the Director of Behavioral Wellness to submit to the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) an application, including a letter of interest and the Board of Supervisors Resolution, requesting one-time funding for Homeless Mentally Ill Outreach and Treatment services in the anticipated amount of $862,000.00 for the period of January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020;
c) Authorize the Director of Behavioral Wellness to submit to the DHCS a written, formal acceptance by October 9, 2018 after the receipt of the Notice of Award; and
d) Determine that the approval of the recommended actions is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), finding that the activities are covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activities in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activities are not subject to CEQA.
