There is a new low income housing property in Lake Ridge which serves 60% or below of median income but is typically not beneficial for our clients. The new 811 grant is receiving slots for housing and are located at scattered sites. The Virginia Housing Development Authority (VDHA) and the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS) received a grant which gives 70 units in Northern Virginia; there are questions on how it will be used and currently there are no services attached. Specific impediments to Fair Housing are realized once the surveys are completed. Ms. Pemberton stated as always there are dollar issues. Proffers are voluntary with either $1,000 contributed per unit or 5% of housing made affordable. If you have a Housing Voucher you can take it wherever you move and use it there; although if you move to a higher cost area then we realize the increase. Ms. Pemberton reported letters went out last week; the last open time for vouchers was in 2010. UPDATE ON MENTAL HEAL TH LAW CHANGES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Mr. Alan Wooten and Ms. Rita Romano attended the Regional Mental Health Law Training today along with other staff and many community partners; Prince William had the largest representation. Mr. Wooten reported the Civil Commitment Law changes are: Statewide Bed Registry (updated in real time by hospitals); increase to eight hours to hold a client in Emergency Custody Order time (Virginia is still the shortest time); hospitals can't refuse to take clients. If it is determined that a Temporary Detention Order client can be released it puts the burden on the Community Services Boards; and the increase from 48 to 72 hours for Temporary Detention Orders (Community Services Boards can also change the facility). Community Services Boards are being held accountable for civil commitment changes; procedures need to be in place and need to be documented that they have been followed for each case. Mr. Wooten stated we have an image problem, success and credibility will be measured over the next year. Ms. Romano has a check off sheet for staff to use; there are many handouts on the Web that can be viewed.
5765 Magistrates are receiving their own training and guidance on the changes. Eleven additional beds will be funded at Northern Virginia Mental Health Institute. Since January there has been a 21% increase in admittance to State facilities. Mr. Wooten stated once we absorb all this information it will be shared with Board Members and probably the Board of County Supervisors. UPDATE ON NORTHERN VIRGINIA TRAINING CENTER DISCHARGES: Mr. Wooten distributed updated information: monthly discharge plan and census information for each of the Training Centers in Virginia. Northern Virginia Training Center is hosting a residential and day provider meeting with families on June 26th. Intellectual Disability Directors continue getting weekly updated data. The new Commissioner met with Northern Virginia Training Center parents and associates last week; also visited the Fairfax/Falls Church Community Services Board in the afternoon. We have invited the Commissioner to visit us; she is currently interested in seeing the PACT Program and other residential programs in the area. Ms. Madron will be attending the TACIT meeting tomorrow. COMMUNITY SERVICES POLICES AND PROCEDURES UPDATES: This agenda item has been deferred until the July 17,2014 Board Meeting. OPEN ITEMS: 1.
