d.Identify activities that will occur in the county to maximize the use of PATH funds to serve adults
who are literally homeless as a priority population
Fresno County Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) oversees the PATH funding and contracts, currently
with Kings View Corporation, to provide services that address the needs of adults who are homeless or at risk of
becoming homeless and have serious mental illness (SMI) and/or co-occurring disorders. The PATH program is
a vital resource to the community in seeking to reduce and end chronic homelessness by acting as a front door
for clients into the continuum of care services and mainstream mental health, primary health care, and the
substance use disorder services system. In order to assist clients in achieving their personal recovery and
wellness goals, the Kings View PATH program commits to "meeting the clients where they are."
Services include outreach, engagement, and linkage in addition to case management, mental health treatment,
co-occurring disorder counseling, and supportive housing services. Collaboration with other agencies such as
Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) and the Public Guardian will ensure provision of non-direct mental
health services that are needed to reach homeless adults with co-occurring chronic or medical conditions.
Service goals are to help stabilize and transition clients into other County or community mental health
programs.
e.Identify strategies the county has planned to ensure PATH dollars are funding programs who provide
the minimum services of street outreach and case management as priority services. In addition,
describe services and community supports to be provided to assure long-term housing for veterans
with serious mental illness that are experiencing homelessness.
The PATH program has two components: Outreach, Engagement and Linkage (OEL) and Specialty Mental
Health Services (SMHS). The PATH-funded OEL component will focus on client outreach and case
management services. Through outreach efforts in the streets, shelters, and other non-traditional settings as well
as referrals from the County's Adult System of Care, PATH is expected to provide outreach services to a
minimum of 350 clients during FY 2020-21 (July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021), with a minimum of 200
engaaged/enrolled in services, referrals, and linkages. Those engaged/enrolled will receive services including,
but not limited to: assessments; case management; mental health and/or co-occurring services; linkage to
County programs and other community service providers; ongoing consultation; peer support services;
assistance in applying for General Relief and SSI/SSD benefits; transportation; provision of basic necessities of
daily life; and supportive interim or bridge housing services. More than 70% of the OEL staff time will be in the
field reaching out to homeless SMI adults. Case management services will be provided to all clients through an
assigned personal service coordinator within 24 hours of enrollment in the program along with the development
of a client-centered Plan of Care to meet the client's needs. Program staff have the flexibility to increase service
intensity to a client in response to the client's presented needs.
Additionally, staff have the capacity to provide frequent contacts with clients where they live or are most
comfortable, in order to assist them in accessing behavioral and physical health care, financial, educational,
vocational, rehabilitative, or other needed community services, especially as these services relate to meeting the
client's mental health and housing needs.
f.Please summarize a list of the evidenced-based practices currently used in the county for the target
population.
DBH promotes evidence-based practices (EBP) and encourages contracted providers to utilize EBP
models in their service delivery. The PATH program is designed to deliver comprehensive services
to homeless adults with SMI and/or co-occurring disorders whose needs have not been met through
traditional service delivery. Kings View PATH utilizes the Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP)
and Cognitive Behavioral and Motivational Enhancement Therapy evidence-based practices. The

program model is designed to empower clients, improve quality of life, and allow staff to assist
clients in attaining their personal goals. Team members collaborate on assessments, treatment plans,
and day-to-day interventions. DBH has also moved forward with incorporating the Recovery 360
model into all County mental health program services, in order to build and measure wellness,
recovery, and resiliency supports within a team approach. DBH encourages Kings View PATH team
members to participate and receive training on an ongoing basis to ensure clients receive services
that support this wellness and recovery model.
7.Describe your organization’s participation in the HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) program and any other
local planning, coordinating or assessment activities. If you are not currently working with the CoC,
briefly explain the approaches to be taken by your agency to collaborate with the local CoC.
The Fresno/Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC) develops local strategies to build housing and service
capacity to end homelessness. DBH and the Fresno County Department of Social Services (DSS) are active
participants and voting members of the FMCoC, which is comprised of volunteers from over 21 government
agencies, non-profits and individuals dedicated to serve homeless youth, adults, and families in Fresno and
Madera Counties. DBH contributes to the community planning by advocating for the homeless mentally ill and
encourages all appropriate County contracted providers serving the homeless and at risk of homelessness
population who have SMI and/or a co-occurring disorder to also participate and provide feedback.
DBH is part of the leadership team along with the FMCoC in the national 25 Cities Initiative to end veteran and
chronic homelessness for the Fresno community by identifying, assessing and matching housing for the
veterans and the chronically homeless. A weekly meeting is held to clarify key processes and services,
determine existing housing capacities, and follow-up with specific and high priority cases if needed. Kings
View PATH assists in outreach efforts, service provision and data collection. In addition, DBH actively
participates in the CoCs annual Point-In-Time (PIT) Count of homeless in Fresno County.
DBH also provides mental health clinicians and community mental health specialists at the Multi-
Agency Access Program Point at Poverello House (MAP Point at Pov). MAP is the coordinated service entry
effort created by the FMCoC and the Hospital Council's Community Conversations in Mental Health to
establish and formalize a collaborative intake process across all service providers for individuals facing
housing/homelessness, mental illness, substance use disorder, physical health, social service and/or vocational
needs. The intake process consists of a standardized screening for life-domain needs and assessment with the
Vulnerability Index Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (VI-SPDAT) to customize service
eligibility and access to housing matches. As part of the DBH's work plan for Integrated Behavioral Health
Access, operation of additional MAP Points were contracted out in January 2017 to target strategic, geographic
locations with underserved and unserved populations. Kings View PATH staff may participate in MAP Point
activities to assist in intake and serve as a service provider for the homeless with SMI and/or co-occurring
disorder.
8.Describe the county’s participating in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and
describe plans for continued training and how the county will support new staff. For any county not fully
participating in HMIS, describe plans to complete HMIS implementation.
DBH is fully participating in HMIS to ensure accurate data collection, analysis and reporting, and will
continue to actively participate as necessary to improve data collection and use. New staff shall be
trained in HMIS, as well as refresher training as available/needed for existing staff.
9.Provide a detailed budget narrative that provides specifics and calculations used for PATH
Administration funds. The narrative should describe the attached DHCS 1779P – Federal Grant

served, and services provided.
Kings View Corporation, also known as Kings View Behavioral Health Systems, has been providing
mental health services in the central and northern California for 68 years. Kings View started with the
opening of a mental health hospital in Reedley and then expanded its scope of services for underserved
and unserved populations through community programs providing drug and alcohol treatment and
telepsychiatry to rural areas. Kings View has been responsive to mental health community service
needs by serving the mentally ill homeless population in 14 local and regional California counties.
In Fresno County, Kings View is contracted to operate several MHSA programs; one of which is the
existing PATH program, providing an array of outreach, case management and treatment services to the
homeless with serious mental illness (SMI). Kings View also operates the Blue Sky Wellness Center
for mentally ill clients and their families along with Youth Empowerment Centers throughout the rural
areas of the County. Kings View operates the Rural Mental Health Triage Program and the Metro
Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Program to provide mental health services by co-locating and co-
responding with law enforcement and emergency services personnel (first responders). Kings View
also operates the Central Valley Suicide Prevention Hotline which is a 24/7, 365 days per year service
for children and adults through the main number of the National Suicide Prevention Hotline. Kings
View has a collaborative partnership with two other community agencies to provide nine Multi-Agency
Access Program (MAP) Points, where Navigators provide an integrated screening process to link
individuals and families facing behavioral, social, housing, employment, health and other related
challenges to supportive services.

Kings View's PATH-funded program will prioritize serving adults who are literally
homeless or at risk of immediate homelessness by focusing outreach efforts in places not
meant for human habitation. Seventy-five percent of clients served are projected to be
literally homeless. By having evidence based practice (EBP) trained and recovery
experienced staff, clients are more likely to be engaged and reveal PATH eligibility in
order to start program services. Services include assistance to accessing housing
services, food, clothes, transportation and linkage to other County mental health and
social services programs and community-based organizations as needed. Additional
services include on-site safety planning, assessments, case management, individual and
group support groups, mental health rehabilitation, Telepsychiatry, medication
monitoring and supportive and stable housing services.
e.List the evidenced-based practices currently used.
In outreach and engagement efforts, the Kings View PATH team utilizes the L.E.A.P.
method (Listen, Empathize, Accept, and Partner) Outreach staff and Case Managers are
trained and aware of trauma informed and gender specific care, and cultural needs of
clients. The Kings View Outreach staff and Case Managers utilize the ASIST (Applied
Suicide Intervention Skills Training) to help staff learn how to use a suicide intervention
model to identify clients with thoughts of suicide, develop a safeplan based upon a
review of risk and follow-up when servicing clients. Kings View PATH program utilizes
the Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) model along with Cognitive Behavioral
(CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) models designed to engage individuals with
serious mental health challenges, whose needs have not been met through the traditional
service delivery model. Team members collaborate on assessments, plan of care and day
to day interventions in order to better monitor and assist clients to self-sustained
recovery.
f.Provide a brief description of partnerships and activities with local community organizations
that provide key services (e.g. outreach teams, primary health, mental health, substance use
disorder, housing, employment) to PATH-eligible clients, and describe the coordination of
activities and policies with those organizations. Provide specific information about how
coordination with other outreach teams will be achieved.
Kings View PATH collaborates with various community organizations to provide key
services to homeless adults who are mentally ill. Initial contact and stabilization of
PATH grant eligible clients will be done through clinical assessment by a licensed
therapist at the PATH program. Homeless mentally ill clients with a substance abuse
disorder who receive case management services and require additional support will be
referred to the Fresno County Department of Behavioral Health and its other contracted
providers specializing in treatment services for co-occurring disorders such as the
Comprehensive Addiction Program. For primary health care, linkage will be made to
Federally Qualified Health Care clinics, other health care facilities such as the Fresno
Community Hospitals, Clinica Sierra Vista and local private doctors. PATH encourages
and assists clients to register through the Affordable Health Care Act Programs within
California. Social services and employment service linkages will be made to the Fresno
County Department of Social Services, Social Securtiy Administration, California
DMV, and West Fresno Family Resource Center. Additional organizations that may
provide services or resources include Fresno County Superior Court, Poverello House,
Fresno Rescue Mission, Centro La Familia, Marjaree Mason Center, Veteran's

Administration, Kings View Behavioral Health Services, MAP, West Care, SOS,
NAMI, Fresno County Housing Authority, and many faith based organizations.
g. Explain the gaps in current service systems that pertain to your PATH client population.
Permanent housing is still scarce for the homeless population in Fresno County.
Pernanent supportive housing is even more limited and has strict guidelines which
homeless individuals with mental illness and or co-occurring disorder do not meet.
Kings View PATH works with a large population of client with substance use disorders
and the lack of available residential treatment facilities such as room and boards and
transition housing. There is a high volume of homeless that live in the rural areas who
lack the ability to access basic services for housing and mental health due to
transportation barriers.
h.Provide a description of the current services available to clients who have both a serious
mental illness and substance use disorder.
Kings View PATH program provides co-occurring rehabilitation and support services
embedded in a variety of behavioral health services including assistance into permanent
housing, targeted case management, psychiatric services, referrals into other program
services and providing transportation. Groups with rehablitation interventions are
provided to support decompensation/relapse, stabilization and maintenance. Co-
occurring clients also receive substance use disorder education and counseling.
Appropriate referrals are made to substance use disorder treatment providers when a
higher level of care is needed and the clients sees a need to get more support.
i.Indicate the strategies that will be used for making suitable housing available for PATH clients
(e.g. indicate the type of housing provided and the name of the agency).
Kings View continuously supports the development of housing works with community
organizations such as the Housing Authority and the County by participating in weekly
outreach committees. Fresno County provides housing opportunities through the MHSA
Housing programs and Housing Authorities. The County currently provides for
supported independent living through Trinity Housing project (20 single room
occupancy-SRO units), Alta Monte Housing Project consisting of (29 SRO units) and
the Santa Clara Project which consists of 69 units (25 units are dedicated to the mentally
ill and homeless). These project exist through the Memorandum of Understanding
between the County and Housing Authorities. In addition to the various placement
facilities available within the County, Kings View PATH program will provide ongoing
supported housing services to assist clients to attain and maintain housing. The PATH
program will utilize less than 20% of the available PATH program funding to support
assisted housing, security deposits, and one-time payments to prevent eviction. PATH
staff also work with different room and board providers (Clovis Christian Sober Living,
Quality Homes Inc., Circle of Friends, BK House of Hope and Jeremiah's Home) in
order to assist clients in getting off the streets as soon as possible while still waiting for
permanent housing. PATH provides technical assistance to individuals navigating and
advocating for them with program like Shelter Plus Care, STASIS, Fresno County DBH
Permanent Supportive Housing, Fresno Housing Authority, low income housing
apartments through the county. Additionally, staff are committed to assist and support
clients in staying connected to their local natural supports who may also be able to

provide them with housing (e.g. family members, friends, church members, churches
and other organizations).
j.Describe how PATH eligibility is determined, when enrollment occurs, and how eligibility is
documented for PATH-enrolled clients.
Kings View's PATH-funded program will prioritize serving adults who are literally
homeless and chronically mentally ill by focusing outreach efforts in places not meant
for human habitation. Seventy-five percent of clients served are projected to be literally
homeless. By having evidence-based practice (EBP) trained and recovery experienced
staff, clients are more likely to be engaged and reveal PATH-eligiblity in order to start
program services. Eligiblity is determined by a standard clinical assessment and meeting
minimum HUD homelessness criteria. Enrollment on the same day occurs by entering
the client in AVATAR and HMIS. Documentation of same occurs by use of the
standarized forms approved previously by the County.
8.Describe your organization’s participation with local HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) recipient(s)
and other local planning activities and program coordination initiatives, such as coordinated entry
activities. If the organization is not currently working with the Continuum(s) of Care, briefly explain
the approaches to be taken by the organization to collaborate with the CoC(s) in the areas where
PATH operates.
Kings View PATH is an associate member of the FMCoC. The PATH program does not receive
any HUD funds and so FMCoC full membership is not required. The County is a voting member.
Although not a voting member, Kings View participates in activities to better serve the homeless youth,
adults and families in the Fresno area including the Point in Time (PIT) homeless count and outreach
efforts in the 25 Cities Initiative. Kings View also attends Coordinated Entry System (CES) Meetings
and planning sessions.
9.Describe your Coordinated Entry/Assessment program and roles of key partners.
The FMCoc has a Coordinated Entry System, which Kings View PATH has been participating
in since the planning stage. The system includes the use of an entry survey and shared database,
weekly shifts at MAP, outreach referrals taken regularly for new coordinated entry clients and
navigation through housing referral process. Close collaboration is necessary with the MAP
Community Coordinator, Clinica Sierra Vista, San Joaquin Veterans, WINGS Advocacy Fresno,
Poverello House, DHB, Laura's House and the Department of Social Services, who all participate in
the FMCoC and may provide the needed services or resources identified in the entry survey.
10.Describe the organization’s participation in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS)
and describe plans for continued training and how providers will support new staff. For any
providers not fully participating in HMIS, please describe plans to complete HMIS implementation.
Since FY 2016-2017, Kings View PATH has HMIS fully implemented for PATH services. All program
staff (Outreach Workers, Case Managers and Program Manager) have been trained in HMIS data
collection and entry. Staff currently input and maintain clients' PATH data elements in HMIS. Kings
View has established a relationship with the Fresno Housing Authority, designated by the FMCoC as
the HMIS Lead Administrator to resolve data collection and entry issues, specifically the setup of
appropriate PATH data element fields and to ensure data quality through the creation of specialized
monthly and annual reports. The PATH project set up in HMIS will continue to be an evolving proces
to meet PATH Annual Reported guidelines. The methodology forreporting services and referrals in
HMIS that only counts one instance for each category does not reflect the true quantity of services and
referrals provided.

HMIS training and data systems maintenance will be financed through PATH and County
MHSA funds. It is currently cost-prohibitive to support HMIS training and system use licenses for
staff not directly involved in outreach and case management services.
11.Describe the organization’s plan to ensure that PATH staff have completed the SOAR Online
Course and which staff plan to assist consumers with SSI/SSDI applications using the SOAR
model and tracking the outcomes of those application in the SOAR Online Application Tracking
(OAT) system.
If the organization does not use SOAR, describe the system used to improve the accurate and
timely completion of mainstream benefit applications (e.g. SSI/SSDI). Describe the efforts used to
train staff on this alternative system and what technical assistance or support they receive to
ensure quality applications if they do not use the SAMHSA SOAR TA Center.
Kings View PATH will assist clients in obtaining any and all benefits by applying for Social
Security Income/Social Security Disability Income (SSI/SSDI) and Affordable Health Care Act (ACA).
We have two new Case Managers within the PATH Program and one has completed the online SOAR
training. The other Case Manager will be certified in SOAR before the end of FY 20-21. The new staff
hires within the PATH program are expected to complete the SOAR training and existing staff will
participate in any refresher course. PATH staff have assisted clients to obtain proper documentation and
support to follow up with their attorney's recommendations on the application process and to ensure
their client's make it to their attorney appointments and hearings.
12.Describe how staff providing services to the PATH population will be sensitive to age, gender,
disability, LGBT, and racial/ethnic differences of clients. Describe the extent to which staff will
receive periodic training in cultural competence and health disparities.
Currently, the PATH program have staff with ages range from 25-50 years old, bi-lingual
English/Spanish speaking, and among diverse backgrounds and exposures allow staff to identify,
understand and respect the variety of cultural, social and religious values of the client population.
Services are culturally sensitive to client needs based on age, gender, sexual orientation and
ethnicity. The County encourages and mandates all contractors to provide services in a culturally
sensitive and competent manner. Kings View staff are able to annually participate in Cultural
Competency trainings and workshops provided by the County.

14.Describe how individuals who experience homelessness and have serious mental illness, and their
family members, will be meaningfully involved at the organization level in the planning,
implementation, and evaluation of PATH-funded services. For example, indicate whether
individuals who are PATH-eligible are employed as staff or volunteers or serve on governing or
formal advisory boards (see Enclosure “Guidelines for Consumer and Family Participation”).
Clients and their families are encouraged to participate at the organizational level in the
planning, implementation, and evaluation of PATH-funded services through the Fresno County
Behavioral Health Board (BHB). The BHB is a public advisory board on adult, children, and
justice system mental health and substance use disorder issues. Although at least 50% of the
members of the Behavioral Health Board are mental health clients and or family members, none
of the PATH-eligible clients have chosen to participate. Additionally, Fresno County DBH
conducts a Community Planning Process to collect stakeholder input for the County's MHSA
Three-Year Plan and Annual Updates, which report on the status of current and future planned
MHSA-funded programs. Kings View PATH encourages clients to attend Behavioral Health
Board and Community Planning Process meetings to provide input and feedback. In the past,
Kings View has hired homelss, mentally ill clients at various levels of the organization.
15.Describe veteran-specific services your organization will provide. Identify community organizations
that provide veteran-specific services with which the PATH program collaborates.
Kings View PATH is proactive in encouraging veterans to seek services. Clients who self-
identify as a veteran are eligible to all PATH program services in regards to mental health,
substance use and housing services. In addition, veterans are referred to program available
through the Veterans Administration (VA). Veterans who have been Other than Honorable
(OTH) discharged or do not qualify for VA services are linked to other County Programs or
community agencies. Kings View has partnered with different agencies to identify and navigate
veterans to appropriate services. Specific services also include transportation to veteran's
services. The ability to work closely with agencies that work with veterans, i.e contact
information of individuals we can call at any time who are willing to assist in the moment, plays
a key role in successful referral and linkage.
16.Provide a detailed budget narrative that provides specifics and calculations used for PATH funds.
The narrative should describe the attached DHCS 1779P – Federal Grant Detailed Program
