Background:
Board approval is requested for Agreement A2412668 with the MN Department of Human Services to support Adult Mental Health Initiative funded services which assist residents with access to safety-net supports such as treatment, health and wellness activities, employment services, and housing that help with recovery and stability in the community.
The 2025-2026 AMHI grant award includes funding in three categories:
1) Adult Mental Health Initiative (AMHI) programs, which includes a broad range of
safety net services including case management, crisis, residential, and non-
residential services;
2) Community Support Programs (CSPs). CSPs are welcoming, inclusive, and
supportive centers providing on site services for people seeking supports in their
mental health care;
3) Community Alternative Response Team (CART)- which provides short-term
intensive case management to divert residents from civil commitment.
Programs funded by this grant complement services funded through Medical Assistance to maximize the range of available supportive services for all residents. AMHI funding supports 40 different programs across 20 agencies serving adults with SPMI or SMI. Across these programs, more than 6,000 residents are served on an annual basis.
This request supports the county’s identified priorities and goals for the disparity reduction Health domain by focusing on achieving health equity where every person feels they have the opportunity to attain their highest health potential, and no one is disadvantaged from achieving this potential because of social position or other socially determined circumstances.
