records as are necessary to certify the nature and extent of the costs of these services provided by
CONTRACTOR(S) under this Agreement. CONTRACTOR(S) further agrees that in the event

conduct an annual audit in accordance with the requirements of the Single Audit Standards as set forth
in Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133. CONTRACTOR(S) shall submit said
audit and management letter to COUNTY. The audit must include a statement of findings or a
statement that there were no findings. If there were negative findings, CONTRACTOR(S) must
include a corrective action plan signed by an authorized individual. CONTRACTOR(S) agrees to take
action to correct any material non-compliance or weakness found as a result of such audit. Such audit
shall be delivered to COUNTY’s DBH Business Office for review within nine (9) months of the end
of any fiscal year in which funds were expended and/or received for the program. Failure to perform
the requisite audit functions as required by this Agreement may result in COUNTY performing the

audit, or, may result in the inability of COUNTY to enter into future agreements with
CONTRACTOR(S). All audit costs related to this Agreement are the sole responsibility of

CONTRACTOR’s solvency. Said audit report shall be delivered to COUNTY’s DBH Business Office
for review, no later than nine (9) months after the close of the fiscal year in which the funds supplied

performing the necessary audit tasks or contracting with a qualified accountant to perform said audit.
All audit costs related to this Agreement are the sole responsibility of CONTRACTOR(S) who agrees
to take corrective action to eliminate any material noncompliance or weakness found as a result of
such audit. Audit work performed by COUNTY under this section shall be billed to the
CONTRACTOR(S) at COUNTY’s cost, as determined by COUNTY’s Auditor-Controller/Treasurer-
Tax Collector.
C. CONTRACTOR(S) shall make available all records and accounts for inspection
by COUNTY, the State of California, if applicable, the Comptroller General of the United States, the

I. MAP POINT PROGRAM OVERVIEW
County of Fresno on behalf of the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH), Mental Health Services
Act (MHSA), Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI), has developed a Master Agreement for the
operation of Multi-Agency Access Program (MAP) Point services for underserved and unserved
culturally diverse populations in Fresno County.
PEI Program Intent and Goals - The intent of the PEI program is to provide funds for MAP Point
services to be delivered in community settings to all age groups in a culturally, linguistically and age-
appropriate manner. The goals of the PEI component of the MHSA shall be integrated into the MAP
Point program and shall be promoted through: community collaboration; cultural and linguistic
competency; and services that are individual/family driven, wellness and recovery focused, integrated
and performance outcomes based.
MAP Point Program Intent and Goals – DBH seeks to streamline access processes to ensure that all
individuals in need of behavioral health care have a timely, personal, relevant, clear and
understandable path to care. By integrating behavioral health into other systems such as physical
health settings, justice settings including courts and probation, schools, and other service delivery
Exhibit B
Page 2 of 7
organizations, DBH can significantly increase access to care and improve the total health and
wellness in the community.
A MAP provides an integrated screening process which connects individuals facing mental health,
substance use disorder, physical health, or housing challenges to supportive services matching
individuals and families to the right resources at the right time in the right location. This is
accomplished through an established and formalized screening process, collaboration of service
providers, leveraging existing community resources, eliminating barriers and assisting clients’
access to supportive services.
The purpose of this program is to provide multiple MAP Points at optimal strategic and geographic
locations that have dense client flow to target underserved and unserved populations with critical
access needs. Each MAP Point Provider will be an access point and use a common screening
process to serve individuals where they are. Each Provider will work within a centralized or
coordinated system for linkages to further assessments and/or services for all persons who
participate in the screening.
Goals of the program include less utilization of more costly crisis services, and minimization or
avoidance of more severe outcomes such as substance use disorder, hospitalization or incarceration.
Funding Use – PEI guidelines stipulated by the California Department of Health Care Services
specifically limit how PEI funds may be used. The funding for MAP Point services is to provide for
salaries and benefits of staff, training, consumer incentives, planning and operational costs, lease
space, technology, transportation needs, and other acceptable expenses that carry out the intent of
this project. Providers’ individual funding allocations are identified and detailed in Exhibits C-1 et
seq.
Prevention in mental health involves reducing risk factors or stressors, building protective factors and
skills and increasing support. Prevention promotes positive cognitive, social and emotional
development and encourages a state of well being that allows the individual to function well in
challenging circumstances. MAP Points will assist the clients in reducing negative outcomes that may
serve as a risk factor to developing potentially serious mental illness by screening for biological,
behavioral and socio-economic needs and linking to appropriate service providers.
Early intervention is directed toward individuals and families for whom a short-duration (up to one
year), relatively low-intensity intervention is appropriate to measurably improve a mental health
problem or concern very early in its manifestation, thereby avoiding the need for more extensive
Exhibit B
Page 3 of 7
mental health treatment or services; or prevent a mental health problem from getting worse. MAP
Points will not be providing direct treatment services, but will track any linkages to early intervention
programs.
MAP Points will be primarily a program to improve timely access to mental health services to
underserved populations with inherent strategies to provide prevention, outreach, access and linkage,
and stigma and discrimination reduction. Target populations are underserved and unserved, who lack
protective factors such as knowledge of the system of care and access to mental health services or
have stigma associated with reaching out for mental health services.
Outreach for Increasing Recognition of Early Signs of Mental Illness – Outreach serves to introduce
and educate the community on mental health and related services available within the community,
and in Fresno County in general. Connections made shall help to build a trusted presence within
the community and thereby encourage future contacts, follow-ups, and linkages to service
information and/or delivery. MAP Points will be located in settings where service populations are,
whether in their own communities, places they frequent or have a connection. These settings as
well as the mental health domain of the screening tool will provide opportunity to identify early signs
of mental illness.
Access and Linkage – The MAP integrated screening process will be able to screen clients for
mental health needs and link to further assessment to determine appropriate care and/or treatment.
Stigma and Discrimination Reduction - MAP Points will provide culturally-competent services. Staff
with same cultural and linguistic make up of clients will make it easier for clients to feel welcomed
and comfortable in seeking mental health services and continue to receive needed services.
Services and Performance Measures - Under the provision of the MHSA PEI component, the
County’s Department of Behavioral Health receives funding to expand, develop and create
successful PEI programs for children, transitional aged youth, adults, and older adults in a culturally,
ethically, and linguistically competent approach for underserved and unserved populations. MAP
Point Program Providers’ culturally specific approaches to these services, and their performance
measures and outcome goals are identified and detailed in Exhibits B-1 et seq. Performance
measures are further addressed in Section Four (4) of this document.
Service Populations - Target areas include optimal strategic and geographic locations that have a
high volume of client flow/interaction that can target underserved and un-served populations with
critical access needs. These areas can be in metropolitan and rural locations, law enforcement
Exhibit B
Page 4 of 7
agencies, critical access points such as hospitals, service agencies, educational settings, or any
other location that meets the intent of MAP Point project. Target populations include unserved or
underserved groups within Fresno County; examples include, but are not limited to, cultural
populations, lesbian/gay/bi-sexual/transgender/questioning (LGBTQ) community, Veterans,
homeless and geographically isolated groups. MAP Point services, while targeting specific
unserved and underserved groups, must extend services to all age groups, populations, cultures
and must be able to link to all appropriate services as needed. There should be no exclusion
criteria. Service populations are identified for each MAP Point Provider in Exhibit A and Exhibits B-1
et seq.
Collaborations – MAP Point Providers shall work in collaboration with existing partners, including but
not limited to the existing MAP Point at Pov, local schools and district offices, faith-based
organizations, primary care centers, various health offices, natural gathering sites, social services
offices and local law enforcement offices. In addition, collaborations and partnerships shall be
encouraged with all other community stakeholders and service providers, including but not limited to:
private, profit/non-profit, government, faith-based, cultural-specific community resource/service
providers, and advisory boards and commissions.
Providers will be required to participate in MAP Community Work Groups and encouraged to
participate in Community Conversations, Fresno-Madera Continuum of Care and other local
planning organizations, initiatives, activities and assessments.
Master Agreement Additions - Organizations seeking to be included in this Master Agreement, or
seeking to provide additional services to underserved and un-served target/service populations,
funded through MHSA PEI, must submit a written proposal to Fresno County Department of
Behavioral Health, Attention: MAP Point Contract Analyst, 3133 N. Millbrook Avenue, Fresno, CA
93703. The proposal must be prepared and submitted for review and approval in accordance to, and
in proper response to, the Request for Proposal (RFP) #952-5468 issued by Fresno County
Purchasing Division on April 8, 2016. Proposals received must be approved by DBH Director and/or
designee for addition to Master Agreement.
II. MAP POINT SERVICES
A. Provide screening for each client in order to understand their individual needs and motivation to
be linked with services. Specific services shall include:
Exhibit B
Page 5 of 7
• Use Motivational Interviewing (MI) to identify client’s fundamental values and goals to
stimulate change.
• Develop a service or linkage plan for the client or family and monitor their success in
connecting to assessments or services identified in the screening.
• Meet individually with client or family when necessary to provide support and
assistance towards achieving service or linkage plan goals.
• Make linkages and appointments with appropriate service providers. A linkage is
considered achieved when a client is confirmed to be connected with a service
provider, not simply referred.
• Maintain client files.
• Transportation of clients to identified resource agencies and/or to initial scheduled
appointment with identified service providers, as necessary.
B. Assist clients in obtaining necessary documents such as State Identification Card, Social Security

an understanding how to utilize community supports in an ongoing fashion (such as public
transportation system, community food banks, etc.).
C. Be responsible for linking clients to the appropriate services based upon initial screening and
linkage plan. Services to which clients may be linked range from mental health, substance use
disorder, physical health, housing, social and/or other services. Methods for service coordination
and communication between program and other service providers shall be developed and
implemented consistent with Fresno County Mental Health Plan (MHP) confidentiality rules.
• Should read-only access to the County’s electronic health record system (currently
Avatar) be provided in order to assist in determining client’s prior involvement in the
County’s Mental Health Plan system of services and ensure continuum of care,
understand that fees for access may apply and are expected to become part of the
Provider’s operational costs as identified and detailed in Exhibits C-1 et seq.
D. Work collaboratively with the MAP Community Coordinator and other service providers to
monitor client success, areas for growth and challenges with program linkage. Ensure a warm
handoff between client and service providers.
E. Maintain relationships with referring and supporting agencies and represent agencies at various
community meetings as requested. Participate in all scheduled MAP Point community meetings.
Attend scheduled meetings and presentations with referral agencies.
Exhibit B
Page 6 of 7
F. Utilize evidence based practices in screening and serving clients. Ensure on-going training of
staff regarding evidence based practices and knowledge of relevant mental health/illness topics.
G. Utilize the standardized MAP Community Screening Tool and stay current in practice with any
future revisions to this tool and provide appropriate feedback. Participate in training needed on the
tool itself or supporting data systems used.
• Any costs associated with use of data systems supporting the MAP Community
Screening Tool or VI-SPDAT or other systems as required and/or developed by the
MAP Community Group are to become part of Provider’s operational costs as
identified and detailed in Exhibits C-1 et seq.
• Entry of data and case relevant information into MAP Community Screening Tool
data system and/or other required systems.
III. STAFFING
The staffing plan should be clear and concise and allow for full implementation of all items
described in the program. It is expected that MAP Point Navigator(s) shall complete the services
and linkages as identified above. In addition, the Navigator shall work collaboratively with other
service components and programs in the MAP system. Navigators shall be knowledgeable of
cultural sensitivity/competency and well versed in community resources.
Staff work schedules shall be responsive to client needs and shall permit staff to be available at
times/locations that are convenient for the client and/or respond to family members’ concerns.
There is no mental health treatment currently offered or anticipated at MAP Points. As such, specific
licensures related to behavioral health are not required. The staffing plan should include MAP Point
Navigators, supervision of MAP Point Navigators, and additional positions as needed to ensure full
implementation of the program.
IV. PERFORMANCE OUTCOME MEASURES
All Providers shall comply with all project monitoring and compliance protocols, procedures, data
collection methods, and reporting requirements requested by the County. Providers shall use
performance outcome measures for evaluating program and system effectiveness to ensure services
and service delivery strategies are positively impacting the service population.
Exhibit B
Page 7 of 7
In addition, these measures shall be used to ensure MAP Point services are in alignment with MHSA
guiding principles which are inclusive of: an integrated service experience; community collaboration;
cultural competence; client/family driven service; and wellness, resilience, and recovery focused
services. MHSA PEI reporting requirements include but are not limited to the following: number of
referrals/linkages of members of underserved populations to a prevention program, early intervention
program, and/or treatment beyond early onset; number of persons who followed through on the
referral and engaged in services (linkage may be defined as having participated at least once in the
program to which person was referred); and timeliness of care, the interval between referral and
engagement in services.
Performance outcome measures shall be tracked on an ongoing basis and used to update the County
monthly (by the 10th of the month following the report period) regarding MAP Point services. In
addition, performance outcome measures are reported to the County annually in accumulative reports
for overall program and contract evaluation.
Providers will utilize standardized forms and tools so that data shall be collected in the same way
for each MAP Point location and population it may serve. Forms and tools used to gather and
report data reflecting services provided, populations served, and impact of those services are to be
developed by the County and Providers. Providers will work closely with the County to analyze the
data and make necessary adjustments to service delivery and reporting requirements before the
start of each new fiscal year.
Providers’ specific performance measures and outcome goals are identified and detailed in Exhibit
B-1 et seq. Measurable outcomes may be reviewed for input and approval by a designated
Department of Behavioral Health work group upon contract execution and adjusted as needed each
new fiscal year. The purpose of this review process is to ensure a comprehensive system wide
approach to the evaluation of programs through an effective outcome reporting process.

NOTE: The information, expectations and requirements contained in this Exhibit B-1 are specific to the
MAP Point Collaborative and shall be considered in addition to Exhibit B and the Kings View Corporation
proposal submitted in response to Request for Proposal No. 952-5468.
I. PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Kings View Corporation and its partners Centro La Familia Advocacy Services and Poverello
House (collectively known as the MAP Point Collaborative) propose to provide clients with a
MAP single point of entry for residents of Fresno County to access linkage to multiple
behavioral, social and health services to promote their wellness and recovery. Although
additional sites may be added, the present proposal includes eight MAP sites in the
collaborative plus a mobile food truck that will serve clients as well. The MAP Point
Collaborative will use Motivational Interviewing and evidence-based practices to engage the
client in completing the Community Screening Tool and develop linkage plan goals. All services
will be provided with a respectful approach to each client’s ethnicity, gender and belief system.
The MAP Point Collaborative is an experienced team of three partners: Kings View
Corporation, Centro La Familia Advocacy Services (CLFA), and Poverello House. Community
Regional Medical Center (CRMC) is a project participant, and will provide a MAP site at its
Ambulatory Care Center, but is not a formal, funded partner. Together this team has developed
a proposal to serve Fresno County through eight fixed sites and a mobile truck. The project
includes three sites in urban Fresno and five rural sites, plus mobile unit stops. The project plan
draws upon the experience of the Poverello House at its current MAP Point at Pov program,
enhanced by the experience of Kings View Corporation and Centro La Familia Advocacy
Services in serving the target populations.
The MAP Point Collaborative proposes to serve all clients who come to one of the MAP points,
and to leverage partner resources to create community awareness of MAP services. Partners
developed conservative estimates of initial duplicated contacts based on their experience at
each of these sites.
• Poverello House, 412 F Street, Fresno
• Mobile Unit/Food Truck (initially operating 4 days/week); initial stops include Mendota,
Firebaugh, Huron, Orange Cove, San Joaquin, Calwa, Parlier, Del Ray, Riverdale,
and Sanger
• Kings View Behavioral Health, site tbd, Selma

Kings View, Centro La Familia Advocacy Services, and Poverello House will draw upon shared
and unique resources to provide a continuum of services and connections to MAP clients at
each of the MAP locations. For example, substance abuse treatment will be provided by Kings
View or other appropriate community partners, including West Care. Clients needing mental
health treatment will be linked to Kings View, or other appropriate community resources.
Poverello House will link and provide services including emergency services (e.g., food, shelter,
clothing) and limited medical services. Domestic violence intervention will be addressed by
Poverello or Centro La Familia Advocacy Services; all organizations will assist clients in health
insurance, food stamps, and other enrollments they are equipped to provide. The MAP partners
all have stable and sustained organizational histories in the San Joaquin Valley, which allows
them to leverage resources as a group under a single Collaborative Program Manager who will
coordinate services and connections. In addition, the MAP Resource Coordinator will actively
seek appropriate resources throughout Fresno County and share this information with all MAP
partners to ensure that all sites have complete and current service provider information.
The chart below shows services currently provided and to be leveraged by each of the partner
agencies and by Community Regional Medical Center’s Ambulatory Care Center.

Kings View Corporation will hire a MAP Collaborative Program Manager to provide
administrative and operational oversight and support, and a Resource Coordinator to identify
and develop community resources for client linkage. Navigators at each site will screen clients
using the Community Screening Tool and other relevant tools (e.g., the VI-SPDAT) and link or
facilitate client linkage following the warm hand-off model. Transporters will drive clients to
services via eight-passenger vans or automobiles to be leased for this project.
Materials will be available in all three Fresno County threshold languages (English, Spanish and
Hmong), and all sites will provide access to interpreters for clients and families. If an interpreter
is not available, Language Line will be used to provide interpretation.
The project will develop a data system designed to facilitate the data collection and reporting
requirements of this project. The system will be designed with the assistance of Bitwise
Industries leveraging the experience of that company with Fresno County data system design.
II. SERVICES
A. Screening provided
MAP Point Collaborative partner navigators will provide a screening for each client to document
and understand their individual needs and motivation to be linked with services. Navigators will:
• Use Motivational Interviewing (MI) to identify and understand the client’s fundamental
needs, values and goals to stimulate change.
• Develop a service or linkage plan for the client or family and monitor success in
connecting to assessments or services identified in the screening.
• Meet individually with the client or family when necessary to provide support and
assistance towards achieving service and/or linkage plan goals.
• Make linkages and appointments with appropriate service providers including housing,
mental health and social services. Clients will be considered linked with a referral service
when connection with that service provider is confirmed.
• Maintain client files through use of a database to be developed by technology firm
Bitwise Industries, in coordination with Kings View IT staff and based on program
requirements.
• Provide transportation for clients to identified resource agencies and/or to initial
scheduled appointment with identified service providers, as necessary. Transportation
will be provided through tokens for public transport or by two MAP transporters in leased
vans, as reflected in the project budget.
B. Client assistance in obtaining documents
MAP Point Collaborative Navigators will assist clients at all sites in obtaining necessary
documents such as state identification card, social security card, birth certificate, immigration-
related documents (passport, green card), and others that are needed to link to appropriate
services such as public benefits, housing, and/or health insurance enrollment. MAP Navigators
will provide clients information on how to obtain additional resources such as transportation,
food and any immediate medical resources.
Exhibit B-1
Page 4 of 9
C. Linking clients to appropriate services based on initial screening
The MAP Point Collaborative Navigators at all sites will be responsible for linking clients to the
appropriate services based on their screening and linkage plan. MAP Navigators will provide
information to clients about necessary documents, and assist in completing applications that are
available to the MAP staff, and provide transportation as needed to county services such
CalFresh, CalWORKs, and TANF, as well as to services that fit into each agency’s relevant
programs. Navigators will also assist clients in linking clients in the same way to low-income
housing options, landlords, primary medical care, faith-based support systems, and in some
cases with their families.
In many cases, the MAP partners will directly provide those services, consistent with each
agency’s mission. Methods for service coordination and communication between program and
other service providers will be developed and implemented in alignment with Fresno County
Mental Health Plan (MHP) confidentiality rules. Coordination is crucial in Fresno County’s large
catchment area because services are spread out and low-income residents of rural communities
have very little access to services without necessary transportation.
D. Service provider coordination/collaboration
The MAP Point Collaborative Navigators at all sites will work collaboratively with the Program
Manager and other service providers to monitor client success, identify areas for growth and
challenges with program linkage, and will ultimately ensure a warm hand-off between client and
service providers. The MAP Collaborative Program Manager will provide overall program
coordination and monitoring; a MAP Resource Coordinator will develop and manage linkage
resources to meet the needs of clients. Potential resources include government agencies such
as Department of Behavioral Health, Department of Social Services, Department of Motor
Vehicles, Housing Authority, and community-based organization programs.
E. Maintaining agency relationships
The MAP Point Collaborative Program Manager, MAP Resource Coordinator, and other staff as
appropriate will maintain relationships with referring and supporting agencies and represent
agencies at various community meetings as requested. The purpose of this position is to
coordinate and develop resources appropriate to the needs identified through the project.
In addition to the MAP Collaborative Program Manager’s role of program oversight and contract
compliance, the Program Manager will also establish regular collaborative meetings, and
facilitate those meetings to support the collaborative and community relationships. Each of the
participating agencies is already fully engaged in relevant agency relationships
F. Evidence based practices in screening and serving clients
The MAP Point Collaborative will use evidence-based practices in screening and serving clients.
The use of proven methodologies, with an evidence basis, allows for interactions with the clients
to be more complete and productive. There are numerous evidence-based methodologies for
these purposes that can be incorporated into the process depending on the situation and need.
Some of the key evidence-based practices that will be used are described below.
Exhibit B-1
Page 5 of 9
• Collaborative Navigators will use the evidence-based practice of Motivational Interviewing,
a clinical approach that helps people with mental health and substance-use disorders and
other chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, and asthma make
positive behavioral changes to support better health. The approach upholds four
principles—expressing empathy and avoiding arguing, developing discrepancy, rolling with
resistance, and supporting self-efficacy (a client’s belief s/he can successfully make a
change). Kings View Corporation staff are already trained in Motivational Interviewing. For
project staff who are not yet trained, Motivational Interviewing classes are available online.
All MAP staff will be trained in Motivational Interviewing, with support provided by
collaborative partners.
• Another evidence-based practice to be used by the MAP Point Collaborative is the
Wellness Recovery Action Plan or WRAP®, a self-designed prevention and wellness
process used extensively by health care and mental health systems to address physical,
mental health and life issues, and will be used at MAP Point Collaborative sites to engage
the client in completing the Community Screening Tool and develop linkage plan goals.
WRAP has been studied extensively in rigorous research projects and is listed in the
National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices. All MAP services will be
provided with a respectful approach to each client’s ethnicity, gender and belief system.
G. Utilizing standardized MAP Point Community Screening Tool
MAP Point Collaborative staff will use the standardized MAP Point Community Screening Tool
and stay current with any future revisions to this tool. In addition, the MAP Point Program
Manager and Navigators will participate in future development of screening tools as requested.
While primary screening staff will be the Navigators, training will be provided to all appropriate
staff.
III. STAFFING
To allow for full implementation of all items described in the program, the staffing plan proposed
for the Map Point Collaborative sites will be as follows:
• 1.0 FTE MAP Collaborative Program Manager will oversee the Multi-Agency Access
Program locations to ensure operations are running smoothly and in compliance with
contract requirements including records management, security, communications,
transportation services and staff sharing. Qualifications include a Master’s Degree in
behavioral health or related field or equivalent with at least two years of experience as a
manager in a case management environment, while working with the severely mentally ill
(SMI), and/or co-occurring clients as well as experience in developing linkages for a wide
variety of needs and coordinating case management type services for the homeless and
indigent populations.
• 1.0 FTE MAP Resource Coordinator will be responsible for cultivating resources and
linkages for MAP personnel to ensure clients are linked to the “right services, the first time.”
Linkages to include: housing resources, physical and mental health services, substance
abuse treatment services, domestic violence education and support groups, immigration
services for undocumented clients, vocational assessment, education and training,
Exhibit B-1
Page 6 of 9
parenting, school based counseling and support groups, wellness and recovery activities.
Qualifications include Bachelor’s Degree in related field.
• 9.0 FTE Navigators among eight fixed sites and one mobile unit (see program budget for
specific assignments) will administer the Community Screening Tool and/or VI-SPDAT to the
client and facilitate linkages to indicated services and faith-based supports. Navigators will
work collaboratively with other service components and programs in the MAP system.
Navigators will be knowledgeable of cultural sensitivity/competency and well versed in
community resources. Navigators will be responsible for case management to ensure proper
linkages occur. The Navigators will be placed at the main MAP site at Poverello House, the
Kings View site in Selma as well as the Centro La Familia sites at 302 Fresno Street,
Community Regional Medical Center, and in the cities of Mendota, Firebaugh, Huron and
Orange Cove. Navigators are required to have a Bachelor’s Degree in a related field.
• 2.0 FTE Transporters, using program vehicles, will transport clients to appointments,
designated treatment programs, health care services, social services, government offices
and faith-based services in the community as necessary to fulfill the clients’ linkage plan
goals. Transporters are required to have and Associate's degree or equivalent with
experience working with severely mentally ill and/or co-occurring environment. Transporters
must also have a basic knowledge of common mental health diagnoses. Additional training
may be provided, for example Mental Health First Aid training, which is offered by Fresno
County as well as American Ambulance.
As lead agency, Kings View Corporation will employ the overall project staff: the MAP
Collaborative Program Manager, Resource Coordinator and Navigator for the Selma site. Each
partner will directly employ Navigators for its sites. Although the core elements of job duties are
consistent among all program staff, each agency may add expectations specific to their agency.
Staff work schedules will be responsive to client needs and permit staff to be available at times
and locations that are convenient for the client and respond to family members’ concerns. The
MAP Point Collaborative has identified sites for the MAP points that are well known to the
community, used by the target population, and are already trusted sources of assistance. MAP
Point Collaborative staff will be bilingual, multi-culturally aware and sensitive to gender
differences so that a trust and respect can be established with clients. All MAP Point
Collaborative staff will receive initial cultural humility training and then once per year thereafter.
All partners are fully committed to providing culturally competent services, and acknowledge the
California Department of Mental Health’s Cultural Competence Plan CCPR Modification (2010),
which serves to operationalize cultural competence at the contractor level. Whenever feasible,
MAP staff will be hired from the cultural, linguistic and ethnic backgrounds of the target
population. In addition, Kings View reaches out to members of the community who might not
know how to engage in the treatment of mental health issues. Unserved and underserved
clients may not understand how to seek services and/or they may have stigma associated with
reaching out for mental health services. Having staff who are the same cultural and linguistic
make up as the clients makes it easier for clients to feel welcomed and comfortable in seeking
mental health services and continue to receive needed services.
All partners regularly attend cultural competency trainings, including those sponsored by the
County of Fresno. All MAP Point Collaborative staff will also be trained in Mental Health First
Aid.

IV. PERFORMANCE MEASURES/PROGRAM OUTCOMES
A. Goals and objectives, projected number of clients
The overall goals of the MAP Point project are as follows:
1. Provide clients with a single point of entry in urban and rural communities where people
may access health and social services that promote their health, financial and social
well-being in the community.
2. Support the client’s resiliency and sustainability through appropriate linkages.
3. Using best practices, engage the client in completing the Community Screening Tool
and other appropriate tools to assist in development of their linkage plan goals.
4. Respect each client’s ethnicity, gender and belief system by utilizing cultural humility in
all interactions.
The estimates below were developed using some base assumptions: 1) the same individuals
may come to a MAP point more than once, and will be reflected in the number of duplicated
contacts; 2) the linkage needs for individuals may change over time; and 3) information on
survey tools may change or become more complete over time as clients provide additional
information or their situation changes. Using the duplicated contacts as a starting point, the
following methodology was used to project the number of unique clients, number of surveys
completed, and the number of linkages made. Please note that although these are conservative
estimates, they are based on the experience of MAP Point at Pov.
One of the lessons learned at MAP Point at Pov is that it is important to develop a rapport/trust
with a client to obtain accurate answers to survey questions. This might be achieved in one visit
or at a second visit at MAP Point at Pov, which found that 74% of clients return for follow-up
visits and that completion of the VI-DSPAT (a shorter assessment than the draft Community
Screening Tool) requires between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the experience of the
interviewer and the individual. Another lesson learned is that often a client comes in for one
need but may have an emergency situation that takes priority. For example, a client may come
in for housing assistance but need immediate referral to mental health services and/or medical
services. At times a client has to be stabilized before they can complete an assessment. These
factors are especially true if a client and/or a family have been homeless for a while. The
Collaborative recognizes while many clients served will not be homeless, similar factors may
influence the number of surveys completed. Based on the current experience of MAP Point at
Pov, the collaborative determined that a conservative estimate was most appropriate at this
time.
1. Unique clients are estimated to represent 40% of the duplicated contacts.
2. Survey completion in Year 1 is projected at 60% of unique clients, 65% in Year 2 and
70% for Years 3-5.
3. Successful linkage will be completed for 60% of initial contacts.
4. Services will increase by 10% each year.

B. Performance outcome measurement tools
The table above delineates the conservatively-projected service numbers for all five years of the
MAP. These data will be collected, analyzed and reported through the system to be developed
by Kings View Corporation’s IT and CFO, in consultation with Bitwise Industries. This
collaboration is already being discussed, and work will begin immediately upon award. While it
is hoped that electronic data collection will begin upon program launch (anticipated two months
post-award notice), if the instrument is not completed, partners will manually track all data
based on information to be collected.
In addition to the outcomes measuring tool, the Community Screening Tool, the VI-SPDAT and
other appropriate tools will be used to assess client needs.
C. Measure of effectiveness
The MAP Point Collaborative has identified potential outcomes and analyses in its Work Plan.
Specific outcomes are proposed, but should not be considered comprehensive or complete. It is
anticipated that measures will be adjusted in coordination with the County upon contract
execution. Preliminary measures include the following:
Key Performance Indicators
Unique Client Contacts
Total Clients Contacts
Number of Survey Completed
Number of Linkages Provided
Linkage Types
Emergency Room Visits
Number of Client Transports
Number of Client Housing Linkages
Number of referrals to PEI Wellness Programs
Other linkage types to be determined
Other Indicators
Number of Men Served
Number of Women Served
Number of Children Served
Linkages by Urban Location
Linkages by Rural Location
Number Vehicle Miles Driven
Number of Outreach Events
Other indicators to be determined
Total Client Linkages by Zip Code
As noted, the MAP Point Collaborative will work with Bitwise Industries to develop an
appropriate data tool for this MAP project. The tool will be designed to collect all data specified
above, including number of client contacts, number of screening tools completed, number of
unique/unduplicated clients, number of clients with multiple contacts, average number of
contacts per client within the time period (year), number of clients with multiple referrals/linkage
to same or same type of agency, referrals/linkages by agency and agency type. Numbers
reflect:
Exhibit B-1
Page 9 of 9
• 10% increase in clients and services each year
• 60% rate of successful linkages per client visit
• 60% of unique clients will complete the survey in Year 1; 65% of clients will complete the
survey in Year 2; 70% of clients will complete the survey in Years 3 through 5
A client satisfaction survey appropriate for the MAP services will be developed, and the survey
distributed to clients with responses recorded in the database for analysis.

undersigned report all known or suspected child abuse or neglect to one or more of the
agencies set forth in Penal Code (P.C.) section (§) 11165.9.
For purposes of the undersigned’s child abuse reporting requirements, “child
abuse or neglect” includes physical injury inflicted by other than accidental means upon
a child by another person, sexual abuse as defined in P.C. §11165.1, neglect as defined
in P.C. §11165.2, willful cruelty or unjustifiable punishment as defined in P.C. §11165.3,
and unlawful corporal punishment or injury as defined in P.C. §11165.4.
A child abuse report shall be made whenever the undersigned, in his or her
professional capacity or within the scope of his or her employment, has knowledge of or
observes a child whom the undersigned knows or reasonably suspects has been the
victim of child abuse or neglect. (P.C §11166.) The child abuse report shall be made to
any police department or sheriff’s department (not including a school district police or
security department), or to any county welfare department, including Fresno County
Department of Social Services’ 24 Hour CARELINE. (See PC §11165.9.)
For purposes of child abuse reporting, a “reasonable suspicion” means that it is
objectively reasonable for a person to entertain a suspicion, based upon facts that could
cause a reasonable person in a like position, drawing, when appropriate, on his or her
training and experience, to suspect child abuse or neglect. The pregnancy of a child
does not, in and of itself, constitute a basis for reasonable suspicion of sexual abuse.
(P.C. §11166(a)(1).)
Substantial penalties may be imposed for failure to comply with these child abuse
reporting requirements.
Further information and a copy of the law may be obtained from the department
head or designee.
I have read and understand the above statement and agree to comply with the
child abuse reporting requirements.
