AHP - CCBHC Expansion Grant

The proposed CCBHC Expansion Grant for Aspire Health Partners (Aspire) will serve individuals with mental health, substance use, and co-occurring disorders residing in Orange and Seminole Counties, Florida. The two counties are part of the Greater Orlando Metropolitan Area and have a combined population of 1,776,280.

The proposed project is designed to close existing gaps in the existing continuum of services available for individuals with mental health, substance use, and co-occurring disorders. The project will include:

1. A Mobile Response Team (MRT) to provide 24-hour mobile crisis services for adults experiencing stressful, traumatic, or demanding situations that, if not addressed quickly, could turn into a crisis or emergent situation.
2. A 23-hour Extended Observation Unit (EOU) for individuals in crisis that can be stabilized in less than 24 hours.
3. A Primary Care Outpatient Clinic (PCOC) that integrates primary care services with the delivery of behavioral health care.

The project aims to serve a minimum of 1,845 individuals in year 1 and an estimated 3,800 individuals in year 2, totaling 5,645 over the 2-year life of the grant. The project anticipates serving individuals who mirror those currently being served in Aspire's continuum of behavioral health services.

Of approximately 35,000 unique individuals served each year:
- 55% are male and 45% are female.
- 10% are 19-24 years old, 22% are 25-35 years old, 22% are 36-55 years old, and 18% are over the age of 50.
- 28.5% have a depressive disorder, 27.8% have a schizophrenia and psychotic disorder, 16.9% have bipolar disorders, 9% have opioid disorder, 8.3% have other substance use disorders, and 6.1% have trauma and stress-related disorders.
- In terms of race and ethnicity: 41% are White/Caucasian, 31% are Black/African-American, 13% are Hispanic, and 4% are multi-racial.

The measurable objectives for the Aspire CCBHC Expansion Grant include:
1. The Adult MRT will respond to crisis referrals in 60 minutes or less for 80% of mobile episodes.
2. 75% of individuals linked or referred by an MRT will successfully complete treatment.
3. 80% of individuals admitted to an EOU will not need inpatient care within 72 hours of EOU placement.
4. 75% of EOU placements will be connected to an appropriate level of care.
5. 75% of individuals referred to the PCOC will be seen within 72 hours.
