Thank you, Scott. The other $1 million is to BCOE and/or school districts, correct?

Subject: HHS Grant for Camp Fire
Good afternoon Supervisors,
I wanted to update you on about a story that broke on Action News earlier this week about a 2 million dollar grant
awarded to Butte County. It was also announced by Congressman LaMalfa. We were not aware of the grant award
and only learned about it through the news which is unusual.
https://lamalfa.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/hhs-grants-2-million-to-butte-county-for-substance-abuse-
mental-health
Post Campfire and Pre-COVID19 we pursued this HHS grant in order to expand our outreach and engagement of
older adults who were considered at risk due to isolation and stress from the Campfire. We reached out to one of
our contractors who works with older adults (Passages) about their willingness to partner with us on this and they
agreed to partner with us if the grant was awarded.
Part of this this grant is for 1 million dollars for BCBH and will allow Passages to expand their staffing to provide
more outreach and screening of older adults throughout Butte County for mental health and SUD issues. Passages
staff will also train BCBH clinicians to enhance their skills while working with older adults. The end result is more
outreach will be occurring to older adults and subsequently more treatment made available to those most in need.
This grant is for 18 months. It was supposed to be awarded earlier with an April start date however COVID19
st
delayed the process. We are planning on a July 1
start with grantor approval.
If you have any questions please let me know.
Thanks,
Scott
