Summary & Background: Fulton County Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) has been awarded funding in the amount of $5,600,000.00 (July 1, 2023-June 30, 2024) from the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (GADBHDD) for the Behavioral Health Crisis Center operational expenditures. GADBHDD will provide a full year of funding in the amount of $11,377,838 for its fiscal year 2025 (July 1, 2024-June 30, 2025).
Scope of Work: The Behavioral Health Crisis Center (BHCC) is an emergency behavioral healthcare alternative for adults that offers prompt action, gentle response, and effective support in a respectful and safe environment. The BHCC comprises of three components to mitigate an individual's crisis that will include the following service components: (1) Crisis Service Center (CSC) with a peer led "Living Room"; (2) 16 Chair Temporary Observation Unit; and (3) 24 Bed Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU). Grady understands Fulton County had established a completion timeline of mid-February 2024. Given the nature and complexity of project implementation, Grady anticipates an actual “go-live” of May 2024 to allow for installation of all necessary IT and medical equipment, adequate testing and activation as well as hiring, training, and development of workflows for the center.
Grady will utilize a phased approach for opening given the challenges of staff recruitment, training, and credentialing of personnel. Phase 1 will include the Living Room under a subcontract and 8 Crisis Stabilization beds. Grady estimates approximately two months between each phase with planned increases in CSU beds and adding of Temporary Observation chairs at each phase. Additional beds/chairs will only be added as safe staffing numbers are achieved.
The detailed scope of work is attached in the amended contract as Exhibit A.
Community Impact: Fulton County Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities will expand access to mental health and substance use crisis care; Prevent suicide; Relieve regional emergency departments from misdirected diversions; and Strengthen the Continuum of Care by driving toward its purpose to increase access to behavioral health services, establish a County-wide provider network, and strengthen the experience of clients seeking behavioral health services from Fulton County.
Department Recommendation: DBHDD recommends the approval of the contract amendment.
