(a) It is the intent of the Legislature to ensure that funds allocated to establish or enhance mental health programs are used to integrate the new or enhanced program into an existing system of care.
(b) Counties that apply for funds to establish or enhance their mental health service system shall document, in the application process, how the new funds blend into an existing system of care and do not supplant existing expenditures.
(c) Applications shall include plans for services and supports, and shall specify how the new or enhanced program blends into an existing array of services. Applications shall demonstrate how a collaborative process involving clients, family members, and other system stakeholders was used to develop the proposal.
(d) Applications shall include a commitment to outcome reporting, as defined by the department, including client benefit outcomes, client and family member satisfaction, system of care access, cost savings, cost avoidance, and cost effectiveness outcomes that measure both short- and long-term cost savings.
(e) Applications shall demonstrate, when appropriate, how the county intends to continue the new or enhanced program when the grant funds have ended.
