Create three PACT programs General Assembly Adjustment
  This amendment adds $3.0 million the second year from the general fund to create three additional Programs of Assertive Community Treatment (PACT) in fiscal year 2016, bringing the total number of PACT teams to 26 statewide. PACT is an evidence-based program that is a self-contained interdisciplinary team of at least 10 full-time equivalent clinical staff, including a full or part-time psychiatrist who provides intensive service to individuals with severe and persistent mental illness and who are at high risk for hospitalization, emergency room intervention, arrest, and displacement from housing due to their need for intensive outreach and treatment. PACT service recipients typically have severe symptoms and impairments not effectively remedied by other available treatments or who, because of reasons related to their mental illness, resist or avoid involvement with mental health services.
 
  FY FY
General Fund $0 $3,000,000
•
Permanent Supportive Housing General Assembly Adjustment
  This amendment provides $2.1 million from the general fund in the second year to support 150 rental subsidies and supports to be administered by community services boards or private entities to provide stable, supportive housing for persons with serious mental illness, along with outreach and in-home clinical services and support staff to help maintain community-based living and to avoid costly hospitalizations, incarceration, and homelessness. The funding will provide an average of $714 per month to support rental subsidies.

•
Children's Mental Health Services General Assembly Adjustment
  This amendment adds $2.0 million from the general fund the second year to expand child psychiatry and children's crisis response services.

General Fund $0 $2,000,000
•
Additional Funding for Therapeutic Assessment "Drop Off" Centers General Assembly Adjustment
  This amendment provides $1.8 million the second year from the general fund to add six new therapeutic assessment or "drop-off" centers. Therapeutic assessment centers provide a location where law enforcement officers executing an emergency custody order can transfer custody of an individual in acute mental health crisis where the individual can be evaluated for possible detention and treatment. Funding will ensure greater access to individuals in crisis and allow officers to return to their communities promptly.
 
  FY FY
General Fund $0 $1,800,000
•
Rental Subsidy Program General Assembly Adjustment
  This amendment reverses an action in the introduced budget to move $400,000 from the general fund the first year to the second year. The Settlement Agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice required the Commonwealth to provide $800,000 for rental subsidies for current individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities receiving waiver services. One-half of the funding was moved to the second year to ensure the subsidies are on-going, however existing budget language already allows this funding to be carried forward into the second year for this purpose.
 
  FY FY
General Fund $400,000 ($400,000)
•
Part C Early Intervention Services General Assembly Adjustment
  This amendment increases funding for Part C Early Intervention Services for infants and toddlers with disabilities from ages birth to three. This funding is necessary to meet the increase in the number of referrals and to prevent wait lists and provide the needed services. These services help to reduce school-based services and health care costs later in life.
 
  FY FY
General Fund $0 $605,000
•
Funding for Greater Prince William ARC for NVTC Transition General Assembly Adjustment
  This amendment provides $250,000 from the general fund the second year to the ARC of Greater Prince William for acquisition of accessible property and start-up for clinical services to support the transition of individuals from the Northern Virginia Training Center safely into the community. Language requires the organization to report on the use of this funding to support the transition of these individuals into the community. This is one-time funding to provide necessary support until the new waivers serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities take effect with improved services and a better rate structure that will more appropriately fund the support needs of individuals transitioning from state training centers.
 
  FY FY
General Fund $0 $250,000
