individuals who are homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless and
who are not currently connected with their local mental health systems .
This one-time-only allocation in the amount of $550, 000 is available to
Contra Costa County with recommendations from the State to avoid the
development of new programs which could not be maintained without additional
funding from this source . In response, the County Mental Health Division
proposes to contract for beds usage in emergency and immediate, transition,
and permanent housing facilities, that will be available to the targeted
population of consumers . These services will include people with co-
occurring mental illness and substance abuse disorders, as well as' those
