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 contract, currently with Kings View, to operate the PATH Program to offer outreach, engagement, linkages, and specialty mental health services to the target population. Meetings between both parties occur on a monthly/quarterly basis to review data, outcomes, and expenditures in order to ensure the program is on track to spend down funds in an appropriate and effective manner. The County, through various departments (such as the County Administrative Office and Sheriffs Department), also provide the PATH Program with referrals to adults who are literally homeless, including those at encampment sites. 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 County undergoes a Request for Proposal (RFP)process in which bidders are required to explain how their organizations will meet the service requirements of the PATH funding source, including street outreach and case management. Once awarded, the bidder enters into an agreement with the County to oversee the PATH Program with two primary components: Outreach, Engagement and Linkage (OEL) and Specialty Mental Health Services (SMHS). The PATH-funded OEL component will focus on 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 2022-23 (July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023), with a minimum of 200 engaged/enrolled in services, referrals, and linkages. Those engaged/enrolled will coordinate with the outreach/case management team to evaluate their needs and are offered specialty mental health services. All are linked to an Access Site for housing navigation services. For those interested in mental health services, a licensed clinician will conduct a biopsychosocial assessment and plan of care to enroll clients in PATH-SMHS. For those enrolled in PATH- SMHS, services include, 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. Case management services will be provided to all clients through an assigned case manager 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. They 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. Additionally, veterans are eligible to all PATH program services, including mental health, substance use, and housing services. The PATH Program provides transportation to veterans' services. Persons served are also referred to programs available through the Veterans Administration(VA) and San Joaquin Valley Veterans (SJVV). f. Please summarize a list of the evidence-based practices currently used in the county for the target population. DBH utilizes and encourages Kings View's PATH Program to utilize Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. The program model is designed to empower clients, improve quality of life, and allow staff to assist clients in attaining their personal goals.

DBH also incorporates 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 US Department of Housing and Urban Development 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.

Please provide a brief overview of your organization's history, current existing programs, region served, and services provided. Kings View has been providing mental health services in 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 to underserved and unserved populations through community programs including drug and alcohol treatment, crisis intervention treatment, specialty mental health services, wellness centers and telepsychiatry to Fresno Metropolitan and rural areas. Kings View has been responsive to mental health community services, 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 mental health 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 throughout Fresno County and rural areas. Kings View operates the Rural Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Program and the Metro Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Program to provide crisis mental health services by co-locating and co-responding with law enforcement and emergency service 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. 7. The purpose of this section is to provide a description of your organization's plan to provide coordinated and comprehensive services to eligible PATH Clients. Please provide the following information as it relates to activities for SFY 2022-23. a. The projected number of adult clients to be contacted using PATH funds. 350 b. The projected number of adult clients to be enrolled using PATH funds. 200 PATH Provider Intended Use Plan—SFY 2022-23 Page 2 of 8 Rev. 03/22 State of California—Health and Human Services Agency Department of Health Care Services Enclosure 6 PATH SFY 2022-23 PROVIDER INTENDED USE PLAN c. The projected percentage of adult clients contacted using PATH funds to be 75% "literally" homeless (i.e., living outdoors or in an emergency shelter rather than at imminent risk of homelessness.) d. Describe how the services to be provided using PATH funds will align with PATH goals to target outreach and case management as priority services, and maximize serving the most vulnerable adults who are literally and chronically homeless. 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. Kings View's PATH-funded program will prioritize serving adults who are literally homeless or at risk of 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 housing services, providing food, clothes, transportation and linkage to housing programs, County Mental Health, social service 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 evidence-based practices currently used. In outreach and engagement efforts, the Kings View PATH team utilizes ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training)to use a suicide intervention model to identify individuals with thoughts of suicide, develop a safeplan based upon a review of risk and follow-up when servicing individuals. Outreach staff and Case Managers are also trained and aware of trauma informed and gender specific care, and cultural competency needs of 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 individuals 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 WestCare. 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.

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, WestCare, SOS,NAMI, Fresno County Housing Authority, Turning Point Triage Shelters and faith based organizations. g. Explain the gaps in current service systems that pertain to your PATH client population. Emergency Shelter and Permanent Supportive Housing is still scarce for the homeless population in Fresno County. Permanent supportive housing through the Coordinated Entry System (CES) is even more limited and has strict guidelines which homeless individuals with mental illness and or co-occurring disorder may not qualify. Kings View PATH works with a large population of clients with substance use disorders and the lack of available residential treatment facilities such as room and boards and transitional housing. There continues to be a high volume of homeless that live in the rural communities who lack the ability to access basic services for housing, transportation, emergency shelter and mental health due to limited availability and 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 to other program services and providing transportation for such services. Groups with rehablitation interventions are provided to support decompensation/relapse, stabilization and maintenance. Co-occurring clients also receive substance use disorder psycho-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 for 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 Fresno Housing Authority and the County by participating in weekly outreach committees and collaboratives. Fresno County provides housing opportunities through MHSA Housing programs and Housing Authorities. Fresno County also currently provides supported independent living through several housing projects including Shelter Plus Care, Renaissance sites (Alta Monte, Trinity, and Santa Clara), and No Place Like Home sites (currently Villages at Paragon and Villages at Broadway) that are dedicated to the mentally ill and homeless. These project exist through the Memorandum of Understanding between Fresno County and Fresno Housing Authority. 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 PATH Provider Intended Use Plan —SFY 2022-23 Page 4 of 8 Rev. 03/22 State of California—Health and Human Services Agency Department of Health Care Services Enclosure 6 PATH SFY 2022-23 PROVIDER INTENDED USE PLAN different room and board providers (Clovis Christian Sober Living, Quality Homes Inc., 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 programs like Shelter Plus Care, STASIS, Fresno County DBH Permanent Supportive Housing, Fresno Housing Authority, low income housing apartments through the county. The PATH Program also links clients to the emergency triage shelters that are managed by Turning Point, Fresno City and the Fresno Housing Authority as a temporary placement until obtaining permanent housing. 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 that have a severe mental illness (SMI) by focusing street outreach efforts in places such as homeless encampments and places not meant for human habitation. Eligiblity is determined by a standard clinical assessment conducted by a licensed professional to determine if a client meets eligiblity for a(SMI) diagnosis and minimum HUD criteria for homelessness. Enrollment on the same day occurs by entering the client in AVATAR and HMIS. In addition, intake documentation forms approved by Fresno County are also reviewed and filled out with the client during the assessment session as part of the enrollment process. 8. Describe your organization's participation with local Housing and Urban Development 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 Fresno Madera Continuum of Care (FMCoC). The PATH program does not receive any HUD funds and so FMCoC full membership is not required. The County is a voting member. Kings View participates in weekly FMCoC collaborative meetings and 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 CES, which Kings View PATH has been participating in since the planning stage. The system includes the use of an initial screening to determine the client needs, the use of a shared database, weekly shifts at MAP, outreach referrals taken regularly for new coordinated entry clients and navigation through the housing referral process. Close collaboration is necessary with the MAP Community Coordinator, RH Community Builders, Turning Point, Clinica Sierra Vista, San Joaquin Veterans, WINGS Advocacy Fresno, Poverello House, DBH, WestCare, Marjoree Mason Center and the Department of Social Services, who all participate in the FMCoC and may provide the needed services or resources identified upon completion of the initial screening. 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. PATH Provider Intended Use Plan —SFY 2022-23 Page 5 of 8 Rev. 03/22 State of California—Health and Human Services Agency Department of Health Care Services Enclosure 6 PATH SFY 2022-23 PROVIDER INTENDED USE PLAN Since FY 2016-2017, Kings View PATH has been fully implementing HMIS 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 universal data elements and PATH project specific data elements in HMIS for all clients. 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 setup in HMIS will continue to be maintained in order to meet all PATH Annual Reporting guidelines. HMIS training and data systems maintenance will be financed through PATH and County MHSA funds. The PATH program will continue to support all HMIS trainings and system use licenses for staff involved in outreach and case management services in order to maintain data accuracy for clients served in the Continuum of Care. 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 (SSUSSDI) and Affordable Health Care Act(ACA). We have two new Case Managers within the PATH Program that are certified in SOAR training. Any new staff hires within the PATH program are expected to complete the SOAR training within the first couple of months and any 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 that range in ages from 22-50 years old,bilingual 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, race and ethnicity. The County encourages and mandates all contractors to provide services in a culturally sensitive and competent manner. Kings View staff participate in Cultural Competency trainings quarterly and additional workshops provided by Fresno County. 13. Describe the demographics of the client population. 76%White or Caucasian 18%African American 3%American Indian 1%Asian 2% Native Hawaiian or Other PATH Provider Intended Use Plan —SFY 2022-23 Page 6 of 8 Rev. 03/22 State of California—Health and Human Services Agency Department of Health Care Services Enclosure 6 PATH SFY 2022-23 PROVIDER INTENDED USE PLAN Age Group Breakdown: 18-23: 1% 24-30: 1% 31-40: 29% 41-50: 37% 51-61: 31% 62 and older: 1% Gender: 56%Males 42%Females 2% Transgender Veteran Status: 1%Veteran 99%Non-Veteran Staff Composition 25%White or Caucasian 75%Hispanic 30%Male 70%Female 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 homeless, mentally ill clients, and peer supports 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 programs available through the Veterans Administration (VA) and San Joaquin Valley Veterans (SJVV).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 PATH Provider Intended Use Plan—SFY 2022-23 Page 7 of 8 Rev. 03/22 State of California—Health and Human Services Agency Department of Health Care Services Enclosure 6 PATH SFY 2022-23 PROVIDER INTENDED USE PLAN different agencies to identify and link veterans to appropriate services.

Government transition from DUNS Number to the new UEI will occur on April 4, 2022. At this time, the federal government will stop using the DUNS number to uniquely identify entities. Entities doing business with the federal government will use a SAM UEI created in the (SAM.gov) website. Entities will no longer have to go to a third-party website to obtain their identifier (DUNS). This transition allows the government to streamline the entity identification and validation process, making it easier and less burdensome for entities to do business with the federal government. More information regarding this transition can be found online at: https://sam.gov/content/duns-uei SAM Unique Entity Identifier Number Please note that counties applying for PATH funding are required to provide their SAM UEI, created on SAM.gov, to DHCS. Guidance can be found online at: https://sam.gov/content/duns-uei Your County's SAM UEI number must also be registered and active in the SAM.gov website, and updated annually.
