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 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 underwent a Request for Proposal (RFP) in 2009/2010 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. The County entered into an agreement with the provder for the 2010/2011 fiscal year.
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 2024-25, 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. Team members collaborate on assessments, treatment plants, and day-to-date
interventions. 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. Provide a detailed budget narrative that provides specifics and calculations used for PATH
Administration funds. The narrative should describe the attached Federal Grant Detailed Program

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)

"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. Outreach services include assistance to housing services,
providing snacks, clothing, 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
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).
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

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 Renaissance sites (Alta
Monte, Trinity, and Santa Clara), and No Place Like Home sites (currently Villages at Paragon,
Villages at Broadway, Butterfly Gardens, Alegre Commons, Arthur at Blackstone, and Avalon
Commons) 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 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 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 SmartCare 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.
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. Include the number of staff trained in SOAR in grant SFY 2023 and the number of
PATH-funded consumers assisted through SOAR.
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). Both Case Manager postions are certified in SOAR. Any new hires are expected to
complete the SOAR training within the first couple of months and any existing staff will participate
in any refresher course. The number of PATH Consumers is low and estimated to be two or three
per fiscal year. Additionally, 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.
Kings View serves all deomographic client populations which include: all ethicities, ages 16 and 65
plus, all gender types, all sexual orientations, and both veterans and non-veterans. Generally there is a

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 different agencies to identify and
link veterans to appropriate services. Specific services also include transportation to veteran's
services. The PATH program works closely with agencies that work with veterans especially those
that are members of the FMCoC in order to help promote successful assistance, referral and linkage
for continuity of care.
16. Provide a detailed budget narrative that provides specifics and calculations used for PATH funds.
The narrative should describe the attached Federal Grant Detailed Program Budget.
