Recapping the Nov. 3 feedback session |
|
|
| Couldn’t make it? We’ve got the CliffsNotes version.27 people joined us. We talked through the several big-picture ideas that came from the prioritization session to identify what could benefit most from multi-year funding. You can read about those ideas here. They’re distilled from 120 or so gathered through other sessions and surveys. From there, the BHS team will develop 2 to 3 projects in more detail, including potential funding models. On Dec. 17, BHS will present this “menu of options” to the Board of County Commissioners Commissioners will direct BHS staff how to move forward.

What is multi-year funding, anyway? |
|
|
| Money from the 2018 behavioral health tax measure currently funds the Longview campus, annual BHS grants, and regional co-responder programs. Multi-year funding will complement — not replace — existing investment strategies. This is about deepening community-driven investments in things that lead to system-wide change in behavioral health care. Organizations will receive longer-term funding to work together to address key issues in the county. This project is community-informed and community-driven.
