Request For Interest - Adolescent Residential Placement Program

Alameda County is seeking qualified providers to design and develop an innovative residential placement for our county’s most difficult to place youth. A collaborative of public sector partners including the Social Services Agency (SSA), Probation Department (Probation), and Health Care Services Agency (HCSA) invites non-profit organizations with tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code and Section 23701d. of the California Revenue and Taxation Code to submit their experience and qualifications to provide comprehensive high-end continuum of services to children currently served within the public service system.

MHSA Workforce, Education and Training
*Draft Plan Now Available for Public Comment*

Proposition 63 – the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) provides our County with a unique opportunity to fund innovative mental health programs for clients with long standing unmet needs. MHSA Workforce, Education and Training (WE&T) is a strategic initiative to develop a comprehensive workforce (both in County and community based mental health providers), which will be sufficient in size, competencies, diversity, and linguistic capacity to deliver services and supports to and with consumers and family members that are effective, culturally competent and integrate the values of wellness, recovery and resiliency.

Transition Age Youth (TAY) Services Strategic Plan (10-7-08)

Alameda County Behavioral Health Care Services (ACBHCS) is a leader in creating and providing services for Transition Age Youth (TAY).  This strategic plan is a blueprint for enhancing and expanding those services over the next three to five years. Transition Age Youth with severe mental illness (SMI) often “fall between the cracks” of the mental heath care system as they age out of children’s services at age 18 and then reappear in the adult system.  In response, this strategic plan combines the resources of the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) with the talents of the community to meet the diverse needs of TAY in Alameda County.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide strength-based, recovery and resiliency oriented, culturally competent, high quality, geographically accessible, integrated alcohol, drug, and mental health services to Alameda County residents of all ages.


Mandated Services

The level of mandated services is prescribed by AB 1288 and related Realignment legislation. AB 1288 requires the County to fund Mental Health Services up to amounts received via its Realignment allocation, mandated matching funds set according to a base year and any applicable third party revenues that are available. The mandated services that are required to be funded include: psychiatric crisis or emergency care, inpatient care, outpatient/day care, case management, conservatorship, administration and evaluation. Within these seven mandated service areas, there are a variety of specific mandates such as staffing standards, quality assurance standards, and a host of reporting and general practice standards.

Discretionary funding has been used to augment the seven basic departmental services and other program services, such as housing support services and Community-Based Organization stabilization. Continuation of this funding level and service support is at the discretion of the Board of Supervisors.
