PROGRAM APPLICATION (COUNTY OPERATED)
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OFCOMMISSIONERS:
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS it is estimated that nearly one percent of the population experiences
homelessness at some point during the typical year, and between 25% and 40% of
these suffer from a chronic mental illness; and
WHEREAS the Federal government has established the McKinney Homeless
Assistance Act to provide funding to local communities to address the urgent
needs of this psychiatric population; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Community Mental Health Services Board wishes to
submit a program application to the Michigan Department of Mental Health under
this Federal block grant, to deliver outreach services to homeless, mentally ill
citizens of the County; and
WHEREAS such services would include assistance in finding economical housing,
temporary rent subsidies, case management and crisis intervention, as well as
consultative support to landlords and general Adult Foster Care home operators; and
WHEREAS Federal funding would be requested in the amount of $200,000 over
the I8-month term of the grant, requiring no County matching dollars; and
WHEREAS the grant application includes two County positions, a Mental Health
Clinician and a Typist I, who would be hired with the understanding that the
program is funded only for 18 months, and any continuation beyond that period --
based on the value of the program demonstrated through a formal evaluation --
would depend on availability of State and matching local funds within the
Community Mental Health Services budget:
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
approve the Homeless Assistance Services Program Application as recommended by
the Community Mental Health Services Board.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Health and human Services Committee, I
move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
