Reinvestment Grant#RFA06H16G51 Working Draft outcomes. Discuss how variables like stakeholder support and service coordination will be defined and measured. Describe the process for collecting performance measurement data, and any other state or local outcome data to measure project effectiveness in promoting public safety, reduction of recidivism and access to services and supports for the Target Population(s). 3.8.5.6.1.1 Implementation and Expansion Grants Only Estimate the effect of the proposed project on the Target Population related to the budget of the jail and juvenile detention center. The information must include: 3.8.5.6.1.1.1 An estimate of how the Program will reduce the expenditures associated with the incarceration of the Target Population; 3.8.5.6.1.1.2 The proposed methodology to measure the defined outcomes and the corresponding savings or averted costs; 3.8.5.6.1.1.3 An estimate of how the cost savings or averted costs will sustain or expand the mental health, substance abuse, co-occurring mental health and substance abuse treatment services and supports needed in the community; and 3.8.5.6.1.1.4 How the county's proposed initiative will reduce the number of individuals judicially committed to a state mental health treatment facility 3.8.5.6.2 Sustainability For both Planning and Implementation and Expansion Grants address sustainability of the project. Describe the proposed strategies to preserve and enhance the community mental health and substance abuse systems. Describe how sustainability methods will be used and evaluated, including how collaborative partnerships and funding will be leveraged to build long-term support and resources to sustain the project when the state grant ends. As a result of reducing the population of mentally ill individuals in the Indian River County Jail, it will reduce the average length of incarceration for their overall inmate population due to the fact that mentally ill inmates have demonstrably longer incarceration periods. Mentally ill inmates are also a_costlier population due to the following reasons: special needs related to psychotropic medications; episodic stabilization requirements; their high propensity towards co-occurring substance abuse disorders and the requisite withdrawal management services upon arrival; and, all other physical and mental health care related services that result from the decompensation triggered by incarceration. Redirecting this population to the more suitable path provided by the IRCMHC, will provide methodologies (see section 3.8.5.4) to track and measure outcomes for this diversion population; those outcomes can be analyzed, in tandem with the estimated cost savings that will be tracked by SEFBHN, as a means by which to establish future support in the IRC community for sustainable funding for the continuation of the program. SEFBHN will collect the data from the collaborating agencies on a monthly basis to ensure the success of the program. The performance measures will be tracked through the Care Coordination module. The success of the program will be measured by the aforementioned performance measures including successful graduation from IRCMHC and less recidivism. Tracking systems are established and ready to be implemented. The demonstration of success and cost savings in the IRCMHC since inception has prompted the Indian River County Sheriff to dedicate increased resources to the program. By expanding and enhancing the services through the funding provided by this proposed grant award, even greater success will be demonstrated and the funding needed from stakeholder agencies to sustain the IRCMHC when the grant funding ends will be justified. The SEFBHN data system allows us to track the utilization of services and the exact dollar costs of those services per person across all agencies. We will be able to cross reference Page 29 of 33
