DATE; June 5, 1986 CM
Approval of Life Support Payments to Conditional Release Program Patients
SUBJECT: Designated by the' Health Services Department as being in an Independent Living
Arrangement
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Auditor-Controller to pay up to $25.00 per day beginning
June 17, 1986, for basic life support subsistence (food, shelter, clothing) to spe-
cific patients who are designated by the Health Services Department as living in an
independent living arrangement (such as their own home) in an outpatient status
under California Penal, Code Section 1604 and who are registered as patients in the
County's Conditional elease Program, subject to the payment limitations set forth
in County's Standard ; Agreement with the State Department of Mental Health as
described below.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT: ~/
These payments are totally funded and reimbursed to the County by the County's
Standard Agreement with the State Department of Mental Health for the Conditional
Release Program (CONREP), first approved by the County Board of Supervisors on
February 4, 1986, under Agreement 429-441 (State #85-76118), and there are no
County funds required. These payments will continue during the term of this
Standard Agreement, or of any modification, amendment, extension, or renewal into
future fiscal years.
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
Significant numbers of, patients released on outpatient status under CONREP programs
are not eligible for specialized public assistance grants (e.g., Social Security,
Disability, SSI) and,, , therefore, do not have funds for basic subsistence needs.
Basic Life Support Funds will allow these patients to have some means of interim
support until they establish employment and will reduce the need for crisis inter-
vention services to this population.
