VOA CCBHC - Abstract

Volunteers of America, Utah CCBHC

Volunteers of America, Utah is seeking funding from SAMHSA for the planning, development, and implementation of a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) in Salt Lake County, Utah. The program aims to address gaps in care by expanding access to behavioral health, substance abuse, and physical healthcare services in the county. It will provide comprehensive and fully integrated behavioral health services through a no-wrong-door, whole person health-centered model to individuals of any age who are experiencing serious mental illness, substance use disorder, serious emotional disturbance, or co-occurring mental and substance use disorders.

The program goals are to improve the rate and speed of access to behavioral healthcare, expand service delivery, and achieve certification as a Community Behavioral Health Clinic. This will be accomplished through the creation of an advisory work group to ensure the planning, implementation, and evaluation of services. Infrastructure development activities will include the implementation of a rapid access model, centralized intake, creation of clinical pathways, and the provision of integrated behavioral health services.

Volunteers of America, Utah has 36 years of experience providing behavioral health treatment services to people in greatest need and has an unmatched continuum of services for behavioral health and homeless services in Salt Lake County. Evidence-based trauma-informed treatment will be provided by Volunteers of America, Utah, who will collaborate with Huntsman Mental Health Institute for crisis mental health services and Fourth Street Clinic and Utah Partners for Health for primary care.

The program is expected to serve 900 people over a four-year period, with 150 people served in year one, 200 people in year two, 250 people in year three, and 300 people in year four. Volunteers of America, Utah is requesting $1,000,000/year for four years to support the completion of grant activities. The majority of funding will be used to support the provision of behavioral health services, including the salary and benefits of 9.0 FTE direct behavioral health service providers and grant support staff. Volunteers of America, Utah will contract with AFIA Inc. for technical assistance on infrastructure development activities. Other costs include rent, utilities, insurance, vehicles, software, office supplies, staff training, and indirect costs.
