Title
First Amendment to COMCARE's PATH Grant for homeless program.
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the amendment and authorize the Chairman to sign the agreement.
Grant Summary: COMCARE's Homeless Program has been providing services under the Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) grant for 19 years through the Kansas Department of Aging and Disability Services (KDADS). COMCARE provides access to mental health and substance use treatment services for persons who are literally homeless. These services include:
- Street outreach;
- Screening and diagnostic treatment;
- Case management;
- Referrals to other providers, like primary health care and addiction treatment; and
- Technical assistance in applying for housing, benefits, employment, etc. as appropriate.
The PATH grant will be utilized to support two full-time (2.0 FTE) outreach case managers and 0.4 FTE office specialist to manage data for the program. COMCARE expects that approximately 300 homeless adults with mental illness and/or substance use will be outreached and 175 will be enrolled into services annually.
COMCARE applied and was awarded the PATH grant for fiscal year 2017. This amendment renews the grant for one (1) additional year (FY 2018).
