IN RE: COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH - PONTIAC AREA DROP-IN CENTER -
PROGRAM ENHANCEMENT APPLICATION
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS:
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Consumer-Run Activity. Center program has been approved by the
Board of Commissioners and is now awaiting implementation, intended to offer
resocialization, peer support and recreational opportunities for chronically
mentally ill adults in the Pontiac area; and
WHEREAS the design of this program requires that it be managed by mental
health consumers themselves, with oversight from Community Mental Health staff,
but there has been difficulty in organizing a group of consumers to take this
leadership role; and
WHEREAS the staff of "Project DOORS" in Lansing, a similar consumer-run
activity center, have successfully developed other such programs in various
Michigan cities through a contract with the Michigan Department of Mental Health,
and have agreed to help organize our program in Pontiac; and
WHEREAS with this help a local group of consumers has now been assembled,
which have incorporated as a not-for-profit organization under the name "FAIR"
(Friends Assisting in Recovery), with which the Community Mental Health Services
Board proposes to contract for development and operation of the Pontiac-area
Consumer-Run Activity Center; and
WHEREAS a revised gross annual budget of $25,000 has been proposed for the
program and supported by the Community. Mental Health Services Board, in line
with the budgets of the other consumer-run programs in operation around the State; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners has already authorized funding
in the amount of $16,731 in the 1987 Budget; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Department of Mental Health has indicated that increased
funding in the amount of $8,269 is available, and requires no County match:
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
approve the Pontiac Area Drop-In Center Program Enhancement 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.
