- Appendix
- ODMHSAS Transition Youth Housing Subsidy Protocol
Eligible Applicants - Individuals (ages 16 - 25) who have a mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance use for assistance with accessing and maintaining decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing. Individuals should meet requirements for very low income and have a gross annual income at or below $16,500; however, incomes above $16,500 can be considered on a case by case basis. Individuals who are under the age of 18 must either be legally emancipated or have a Guardian willing to sign a lease agreement on their behalf. If the individual has children in their legal custody at time of application, they are allowed to live with applicant in the residence paid for by subsidy funds. If an applicant requests a roommate or significant other reside with them in subsidy funded apartments, they are eligible for youth subsidy funds at 50% of the approved amount, whereas said roommate must provide the remaining balances of rent/utilities and be a signed and approved leaseholder along with applicant or otherwise meet the same qualifications to become a subsidy recipient themselves and become a leaseholder in the same residence.
Rental Assistance (Including Utility Assistance) - The maximum amount of rental assistance to help pay for rent and utilities is $574 per month, which is based on the higher range of Fair Market Rent for a 1-bedroom. Assistance is not restricted to 1-bedroom housing units, or to units for which the total rent and utility costs do not exceed $574, however, it is recommended that referring projects assist subsidy recipients in locating housing for which costs do not exceed the $574 maximum (and all bills paid units when possible) to help assure affordability and success. This amount can be amended to $726 in the event that the applicant has a child in their custody and is needing a unit of up to 2 bedrooms or more. If unit is not all bills paid, it is recommended that referring projects assist subsidy recipients in getting on the utility averaging plans to further help assure affordability.
Rental assistance can be provided to individuals with no income. Rental assistance for individuals with an income will be calculated as follows:
First 6 Months - subsidy recipients will pay 0% of their gross monthly income toward rent and utilities, and the remainder of the rent/utilities can be provided as rental assistance (up to the $574 maximum).
Last 6 Months - subsidy recipients will pay 30% of their gross monthly income toward rent and utilities, and the remainder of the rent/utilities can be provided as rental assistance (up to the $574 maximum).
The goal of the Housing Subsidy Funds is to assist recipients with transition to self-sufficiency between 9 to 12 months. Based on individual needs, the provision of subsidy beyond 12 months will be considered on a case by case basis.
It is expected that the all subsidy recipients and Program staff will work actively together toward employment or SSI/SSDI income, toward obtaining Section 8 rental assistance, and on other recovery focused goals/objectives, as this is a time limited program.
Rent & Utility Deposits - One-time assistance with rent and utility deposits may be provided to subsidy recipients but may not exceed a total of $574 or $726 in approved units of parenting youth
Making A Referral Subsidy Rental Assistance:
- All referrals must come from one of the existing Oklahoma Department of Mental Health Substance Abuse Services Contractor unless approved by the ODMHSAS Program Manager. Part 1 of the referral form must be submitted, and initial approval received from HOPE Community Services prior to moving forward to assist a person with housing. This is to ensure that people referred meet initial eligibility requirements and that the program has enough money to serve them. Once initial approval is received from HOPE, housing can be arranged and Part 2 of the referral should be submitted. If Part 2, and related documentation, is not received by HOPE within 30 days of approval of Part 1, the referral will be null and void, and an entirely new referral (Part 1 & 2) will need to be submitted.
- Both parts of the referral form submitted must be complete, including all of the documentation requested:

Things To Remember:
- A copy of the signed lease agreement between tenant and landlord must be mailed or faxed to Hope Community Services by the second month for which rental assistance is needed (subsidy cannot be continued past the first month until a signed lease agreement is received).
- If the landlord does not have a lease agreement, please use the Lease Agreement form included in the referral packet.
- If rental unit is not all bills paid, it is recommended that referring projects assist subsidy recipients in getting on the utility averaging plans to further help assure affordability.
- If utility assistance is requested, utility bills must be submitted monthly by mail or fax to HOPE Community Services for payment (up to the total amount allowed for utility assistance).
- Part 1 of the referral is submitted, and approval from HOPE is required to proceed with housing assistance and the completion of Part 2 of the referral.
- Part 2 of the referral must be received by HOPE within 30 days after HOPE has approved Part 1. If not received within that timeframe, the referral will be null and void and a new referral will need to be submitted and approval from HOPE obtained.

INTRODUCTION:
- The Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS), an agency of the State of Oklahoma, is continuing funding for Region 6 to implement alcohol and other drug prevention services commencing July 1, 2020.This contract is the final year of the awarded grant and will expire on June 30, 2021. The contract will support community-based planning and implementation of evidence-based alcohol and other drug prevention strategies.
- The purpose is aligned with the vision, mission, and goals of the states strategic prevention plan to create prevention-capable communities in order to:
- Prevent the onset and reduce the progression of substance abuse;
- Reduce the problems/consequences related to substance abuse; and
- Increase prevention capacity and prevention infrastructure at the community level.
- The ODMHSAS intends to achieve this purpose utilizing a public health approach termed hereafter as the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF). The SPF is a community-based approach to prevention and a series of implementation principles intended to produce population-level outcomes.
- The state also funds 16 other Regional Prevention Coordinators (RPCs) in order to plan and implement alcohol and other drug prevention services.
- Through a separate funding stream, the state will fund high need communities for the Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success (SPF-PFS) grant. RPCs shall coordinate with SPF-PFS recipients to ensure collaboration, maximization of resources, and that there is no duplication of effort.
- Oklahomas Approach to Prevention:
- To prevent the onset and prevent/reduce the problems associated with the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, Oklahoma will work from a theory of change that is supported through research. Research has shown changing population behavior requires targeting resources to issues influencing that behavior (intervening variables, or risk or causal factors). Once these issues have been identified, a comprehensive set of state and community evidence-based strategies can be selected and employed.
- Achieving significant, population-based behavior change requires more than making a positive impact on the underlying conditions (i.e., risk and protective factors); it requires significant and measurable reductions in the causal factors related to substance abuse. The idea of multiple influences affecting behavioral outcomes is evident in the causal factor research conducted by the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation (PIRE). PIRE has identified causal factors or areas of intervention that can make drug using behaviorsand therefore the profusion of health, social, and economic problems related to drug usemore or less likely to occur.
- Oklahomas commitment to the risk and protective factor model is in alignment with the causal factor model, which represents a public health approach to prevention and emphasizes prevention effects at the community level. Oklahoma appreciates that communities are complex systems with complicated and shifting interactions among and between their parts, and recognizes that preventing substance abuse requires a comprehensive, systematic approach based on a clear understanding of each contributing causal factor and the relationship between those factors. Knowing howand whereto effectively intervene is essential to achieving population outcomes.
- The SPF model employs a public health approach that focuses on achieving population-level outcomes. In instituting the SPF process, Oklahoma has transformed from a focus on services to individuals or small groups of consumers to population-based approaches that view community wellbeing as the unit of outcome measurement, and from agency-centered services to coordinated, multi-sector systems approaches that use evidence-based practices to achieve change.
- RPCs are the backbone of Oklahomas substance abuse prevention system and are therefore best suited to coordinate a comprehensive prevention system at the local level.
- The Problem:
- Alcohol and other drug consumption is a serious public health problem in Oklahoma, driving a multitude of community problems and social consequences. According to the Oklahoma State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup (SEOW), a group that compiles and reports on state alcohol and other drug consumption and consequence data, Oklahoma is above the national average in multiple indicators.
- State Priority:
- The State conducted a thorough review of available alcohol and other drug consumption and consequence data and identified the following priorities. It is the intention of the ODMHSAS to fund prevention services that address these defined priorities at the community level. It is the responsibility of the RPC to conduct a local-level needs assessment to determine which of the following priorities will be addressed and the priority populations/communities of focus to be served. RPCs are required to select at least one priority from the states list of Regional Block Grant/State Funded Priorities. The ODMHSAS may prescribe communities of focus and/or priorities.

DEFINITIONS:
- RPC Regional Prevention Coordinator
- SPF-PFS Strategic Prevention Framework Partnership For Success Grant
WORK REQUIREMENTS:
- In order to fulfill the purpose of this contract, the ODMHSAS expects RPCs to systematically:
- Assess their communities prevention needs based on epidemiological data;
- Build community prevention capacity;
- Develop strategic plan(s) and work plan(s);
- Implement effective community prevention policies, practices, program; and
- Evaluate their efforts for outcomes.
- Although the direct recipients of funds from this contract are an RPC, the ODMHSAS expects prevention services to be implemented in partnership between RPCs, coalitions, strategic partners, and communities. The RPCs shall be accountable for demonstrating community coalition and partner planning and implementation of the project. The ODMHSAS expects the RPCs to have two explicit roles at the community-level:
- Provide expertise and guidance via training and technical assistance to communities and community coalitions to build substance abuse prevention capacity; and
- Strategically coordinate the implementation of prevention services at the local-level in partnership with community stakeholders.
- Coalition Memorandums of Understanding (MOU):
- The provider should identify the partner coalition(s) for the selected construct(s) and community indicator(s). RPC and SPF-PFS Contractors should not use the same coalition to address the same priority issue. The coalition must be located in the priority community. The Contractor must maintain an MOU with the coalition. The MOU will agree to (1) allow the RPC to provide capacity building services for the coalition and the community; (2) plan, implement, and evaluate prevention services related to the prioritized indicators identified in the assessment; and (3) cover the entire contract period. If coalitions do not exist in the priority community or are not the appropriate fit for the prioritized indicator(s), a written plan to address this issue must be submitted to the ODMHSAS for written approval.
- Use of Evidence-Based Practices:
- This contract is intended to fund prevention strategies that have a demonstrated evidence base and that are appropriate for targeted communities/populations. An evidence-based practice (EBP) refers to approaches to prevention that are validated by documented research evidence.
- Contractor shall use the criteria developed by the Oklahoma EBP Workgroup and the ODMHSAS when developing strategic plan(s) and work plan(s). To achieve population-level outcomes, Contractor will be required to implement evidence-based environmental prevention strategies (all strategies are subject to approval by the ODMHSAS and the Oklahoma Evidence-Based Practices Workgroup), which are those policies or practices that create a community or cultural environment that supports healthy and safe behavior. Other strategies that are not part of the community domain are considered supplemental and may be considered with prior written approval from the ODMHSAS.
- When developing strategic plan(s) and work plan(s), Contractors are expected to provide justification of the evidence that shows the selected practices are effective. Contractors are also expected to justify the population(s) for which the practice has been shown to be effective/appropriate.

- Provide emotional support, education, basic crisis counseling, and connection to familial and community support systems;
- Train and educate CCP staff and other community partners about disaster reactions, appropriate interventions, and CCP services;
- Develop partnerships with local disaster and other organizations;
- Work with local stakeholders to promote community resilience and recovery;
- Collect and evaluate data to ensure quality services and justify program efforts; and
- Leave behind a permanent legacy of improved coping skills, educational and resource materials, and enhanced community linkages.

Regional RPC
- Regional Prevention Coordinator
INTRODUCTION:
- The Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS), an agency of the State of Oklahoma, is continuing funding for Region 6 to implement alcohol and other drug prevention services commencing July 1, 2020.This contract is the final year of the awarded grant and will expire on June 30, 2021. The contract will support community-based planning and implementation of evidence-based alcohol and other drug prevention strategies.
- The purpose is aligned with the vision, mission, and goals of the states strategic prevention plan to create prevention-capable communities in order to:
- Prevent the onset and reduce the progression of substance abuse;
- Reduce the problems/consequences related to substance abuse; and
- Increase prevention capacity and prevention infrastructure at the community level.
- The ODMHSAS intends to achieve this purpose utilizing a public health approach termed hereafter as the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF). The SPF is a community-based approach to prevention and a series of implementation principles intended to produce population-level outcomes.
- The state also funds 16 other Regional Prevention Coordinators (RPCs) in order to plan and implement alcohol and other drug prevention services.
- Through a separate funding stream, the state will fund high need communities for the Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success (SPF-PFS) grant. RPCs shall coordinate with SPF-PFS recipients to ensure collaboration, maximization of resources, and that there is no duplication of effort.
- Oklahomas Approach to Prevention:
- To prevent the onset and prevent/reduce the problems associated with the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, Oklahoma will work from a theory of change that is supported through research. Research has shown changing population behavior requires targeting resources to issues influencing that behavior (intervening variables, or risk or causal factors). Once these issues have been identified, a comprehensive set of state and community evidence-based strategies can be selected and employed.
- Achieving significant, population-based behavior change requires more than making a positive impact on the underlying conditions (i.e., risk and protective factors); it requires significant and measurable reductions in the causal factors related to substance abuse. The idea of multiple influences affecting behavioral outcomes is evident in the causal factor research conducted by the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation (PIRE). PIRE has identified causal factors or areas of intervention that can make drug using behaviorsand therefore the profusion of health, social, and economic problems related to drug usemore or less likely to occur.
- Oklahomas commitment to the risk and protective factor model is in alignment with the causal factor model, which represents a public health approach to prevention and emphasizes prevention effects at the community level. Oklahoma appreciates that communities are complex systems with complicated and shifting interactions among and between their parts, and recognizes that preventing substance abuse requires a comprehensive, systematic approach based on a clear understanding of each contributing causal factor and the relationship between those factors. Knowing howand whereto effectively intervene is essential to achieving population outcomes.
- The SPF model employs a public health approach that focuses on achieving population-level outcomes. In instituting the SPF process, Oklahoma has transformed from a focus on services to individuals or small groups of consumers to population-based approaches that view community wellbeing as the unit of outcome measurement, and from agency-centered services to coordinated, multi-sector systems approaches that use evidence-based practices to achieve change.
- RPCs are the backbone of Oklahomas substance abuse prevention system and are therefore best suited to coordinate a comprehensive prevention system at the local level.
- The Problem:
- Alcohol and other drug consumption is a serious public health problem in Oklahoma, driving a multitude of community problems and social consequences. According to the Oklahoma State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup (SEOW), a group that compiles and reports on state alcohol and other drug consumption and consequence data, Oklahoma is above the national average in multiple indicators.
- State Priority:
- The State conducted a thorough review of available alcohol and other drug consumption and consequence data and identified the following priorities. It is the intention of the ODMHSAS to fund prevention services that address these defined priorities at the community level. It is the responsibility of the RPC to conduct a local-level needs assessment to determine which of the following priorities will be addressed and the priority populations/communities of focus to be served. RPCs are required to select at least one priority from the states list of Regional Block Grant/State Funded Priorities. The ODMHSAS may prescribe communities of focus and/or priorities.

DEFINITIONS:
- RPC Regional Prevention Coordinator
- SPF-PFS Strategic Prevention Framework Partnership For Success Grant
WORK REQUIREMENTS:
- In order to fulfill the purpose of this contract, the ODMHSAS expects RPCs to systematically:
- Assess their communities prevention needs based on epidemiological data;
- Build community prevention capacity;
- Develop strategic plan(s) and work plan(s);
- Implement effective community prevention policies, practices, program; and
- Evaluate their efforts for outcomes.
- Although the direct recipients of funds from this contract are an RPC, the ODMHSAS expects prevention services to be implemented in partnership between RPCs, coalitions, strategic partners, and communities. The RPCs shall be accountable for demonstrating community coalition and partner planning and implementation of the project. The ODMHSAS expects the RPCs to have two explicit roles at the community-level:
- Provide expertise and guidance via training and technical assistance to communities and community coalitions to build substance abuse prevention capacity; and
- Strategically coordinate the implementation of prevention services at the local-level in partnership with community stakeholders.
- Coalition Memorandums of Understanding (MOU):
- The provider should identify the partner coalition(s) for the selected construct(s) and community indicator(s). RPC and SPF-PFS Contractors should not use the same coalition to address the same priority issue. The coalition must be located in the priority community. The Contractor must maintain an MOU with the coalition. The MOU will agree to (1) allow the RPC to provide capacity building services for the coalition and the community; (2) plan, implement, and evaluate prevention services related to the prioritized indicators identified in the assessment; and (3) cover the entire contract period. If coalitions do not exist in the priority community or are not the appropriate fit for the prioritized indicator(s), a written plan to address this issue must be submitted to the ODMHSAS for written approval.
- Use of Evidence-Based Practices:
- This contract is intended to fund prevention strategies that have a demonstrated evidence base and that are appropriate for targeted communities/populations. An evidence-based practice (EBP) refers to approaches to prevention that are validated by documented research evidence.
- Contractor shall use the criteria developed by the Oklahoma EBP Workgroup and the ODMHSAS when developing strategic plan(s) and work plan(s). To achieve population-level outcomes, Contractor will be required to implement evidence-based environmental prevention strategies (all strategies are subject to approval by the ODMHSAS and the Oklahoma Evidence-Based Practices Workgroup), which are those policies or practices that create a community or cultural environment that supports healthy and safe behavior. Other strategies that are not part of the community domain are considered supplemental and may be considered with prior written approval from the ODMHSAS.
- When developing strategic plan(s) and work plan(s), Contractors are expected to provide justification of the evidence that shows the selected practices are effective. Contractors are also expected to justify the population(s) for which the practice has been shown to be effective/appropriate. Selection of evidence-based practices will be reviewed and approved by the ODMHSAS prior to implementation. Implementation may not begin until the Contractors work plan(s) are approved.

INTRODUCTION:
- The Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS), an agency of the State of Oklahoma, is continuing funding for Region 6 to implement alcohol and other drug prevention services commencing July 1, 2020.This contract is the final year of the awarded grant and will expire on June 30, 2021. The contract will support community-based planning and implementation of evidence-based alcohol and other drug prevention strategies.
- The purpose is aligned with the vision, mission, and goals of the states strategic prevention plan to create prevention-capable communities in order to:
- Prevent the onset and reduce the progression of substance abuse;
- Reduce the problems/consequences related to substance abuse; and
- Increase prevention capacity and prevention infrastructure at the community level.
- The ODMHSAS intends to achieve this purpose utilizing a public health approach termed hereafter as the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF). The SPF is a community-based approach to prevention and a series of implementation principles intended to produce population-level outcomes.
- The state also funds 16 other Regional Prevention Coordinators (RPCs) in order to plan and implement alcohol and other drug prevention services.
- Through a separate funding stream, the state will fund high need communities for the Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships for Success (SPF-PFS) grant. RPCs shall coordinate with SPF-PFS recipients to ensure collaboration, maximization of resources, and that there is no duplication of effort.
- Oklahomas Approach to Prevention:
- To prevent the onset and prevent/reduce the problems associated with the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, Oklahoma will work from a theory of change that is supported through research. Research has shown changing population behavior requires targeting resources to issues influencing that behavior (intervening variables, or risk or causal factors). Once these issues have been identified, a comprehensive set of state and community evidence-based strategies can be selected and employed.
- Achieving significant, population-based behavior change requires more than making a positive impact on the underlying conditions (i.e., risk and protective factors); it requires significant and measurable reductions in the causal factors related to substance abuse. The idea of multiple influences affecting behavioral outcomes is evident in the causal factor research conducted by the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation (PIRE). PIRE has identified causal factors or areas of intervention that can make drug using behaviorsand therefore the profusion of health, social, and economic problems related to drug usemore or less likely to occur.
- Oklahomas commitment to the risk and protective factor model is in alignment with the causal factor model, which represents a public health approach to prevention and emphasizes prevention effects at the community level. Oklahoma appreciates that communities are complex systems with complicated and shifting interactions among and between their parts, and recognizes that preventing substance abuse requires a comprehensive, systematic approach based on a clear understanding of each contributing causal factor and the relationship between those factors. Knowing howand whereto effectively intervene is essential to achieving population outcomes.
- The SPF model employs a public health approach that focuses on achieving population-level outcomes. In instituting the SPF process, Oklahoma has transformed from a focus on services to individuals or small groups of consumers to population-based approaches that view community wellbeing as the unit of outcome measurement, and from agency-centered services to coordinated, multi-sector systems approaches that use evidence-based practices to achieve change.
- RPCs are the backbone of Oklahomas substance abuse prevention system and are therefore best suited to coordinate a comprehensive prevention system at the local level.
- The Problem:
- Alcohol and other drug consumption is a serious public health problem in Oklahoma, driving a multitude of community problems and social consequences. According to the Oklahoma State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup (SEOW), a group that compiles and reports on state alcohol and other drug consumption and consequence data, Oklahoma is above the national average in multiple indicators.
- State Priority:
- The State conducted a thorough review of available alcohol and other drug consumption and consequence data and identified the following priorities. It is the intention of the ODMHSAS to fund prevention services that address these defined priorities at the community level. It is the responsibility of the RPC to conduct a local-level needs assessment to determine which of the following priorities will be addressed and the priority populations/communities of focus to be served. RPCs are required to select at least one priority from the states list of Regional Block Grant/State Funded Priorities. The ODMHSAS may prescribe communities of focus and/or priorities.

DEFINITIONS:
- RPC Regional Prevention Coordinator
- SPF-PFS Strategic Prevention Framework Partnership For Success Grant
WORK REQUIREMENTS:
- In order to fulfill the purpose of this contract, the ODMHSAS expects RPCs to systematically:
- Assess their communities prevention needs based on epidemiological data;
- Build community prevention capacity;
- Develop strategic plan(s) and work plan(s);
- Implement effective community prevention policies, practices, program; and
- Evaluate their efforts for outcomes.
- Although the direct recipients of funds from this contract are an RPC, the ODMHSAS expects prevention services to be implemented in partnership between RPCs, coalitions, strategic partners, and communities. The RPCs shall be accountable for demonstrating community coalition and partner planning and implementation of the project. The ODMHSAS expects the RPCs to have two explicit roles at the community-level:
- Provide expertise and guidance via training and technical assistance to communities and community coalitions to build substance abuse prevention capacity; and
- Strategically coordinate the implementation of prevention services at the local-level in partnership with community stakeholders.
- Coalition Memorandums of Understanding (MOU):
- The provider should identify the partner coalition(s) for the selected construct(s) and community indicator(s). RPC and SPF-PFS Contractors should not use the same coalition to address the same priority issue. The coalition must be located in the priority community. The Contractor must maintain an MOU with the coalition. The MOU will agree to (1) allow the RPC to provide capacity building services for the coalition and the community; (2) plan, implement, and evaluate prevention services related to the prioritized indicators identified in the assessment; and (3) cover the entire contract period. If coalitions do not exist in the priority community or are not the appropriate fit for the prioritized indicator(s), a written plan to address this issue must be submitted to the ODMHSAS for written approval.
- Use of Evidence-Based Practices:
- This contract is intended to fund prevention strategies that have a demonstrated evidence base and that are appropriate for targeted communities/populations. An evidence-based practice (EBP) refers to approaches to prevention that are validated by documented research evidence.
- Contractor shall use the criteria developed by the Oklahoma EBP Workgroup and the ODMHSAS when developing strategic plan(s) and work plan(s). To achieve population-level outcomes, Contractor will be required to implement evidence-based environmental prevention strategies (all strategies are subject to approval by the ODMHSAS and the Oklahoma Evidence-Based Practices Workgroup), which are those policies or practices that create a community or cultural environment that supports healthy and safe behavior. Other strategies that are not part of the community domain are considered supplemental and may be considered with prior written approval from the ODMHSAS.
- When developing strategic plan(s) and work plan(s), Contractors are expected to provide justification of the evidence that shows the selected practices are effective. Contractors are also expected to justify the population(s) for which the practice has been shown to be effective/appropriate. Selection of evidence-based practices will be reviewed and approved by the ODMHSAS prior to implementation. Implementation may not begin until the Contractors work plan(s) are approved.
- Moving SAMHSAs SPF from vision to practice is a strategic process that the Contractor and community stakeholders must undertake in partnership. Contractor shall provide the leadership, technical support and monitoring to ensure that the communities of focus are successful in implementing the five steps of the framework listed below. Contractor shall complete required activities for each step of the SPF process at the community site levels. Contractor shall use the SPF to guide all prevention activities throughout the focus community and coordinate and/or leverage all prevention resources whether funded though the RPC or other sources.
- This contract shall be executed consistent with the five steps of the SPF. Contractors complete and submit the RPC community work plans according to deadlines prescribed by the ODMHSAS, before commencing implementation of the strategies.
- The ODMHSAS will provide direct support to the Contractors to fulfill the requirements of this contract. However, the Contractors are viewed as the primary deliverer of guidance and expertise to the communities and coalitions. The following requirements and guidelines lay out the five steps of the SPF as they pertain to this contract.
- Step 1: Profile population needs, resources, and readiness to address the problems and gaps in service delivery.
- Step 2: Mobilize and/or build capacity to address needs.
- Step 3: Develop a comprehensive strategic/work plan.
- Step 4: Implement evidence-based prevention policies, programs and practices, and infrastructure development activities.
- Step 5: Monitor process, evaluate effectiveness, sustain effective programs/activities, and improve or replace those that fail.
- Data Collection and Evaluation:
- RPC evaluation activities shall include all ODMHSAS and SAMHSA data collection and reporting requirements. These activities may include, but are not limited to, participation in a rigorous evaluation, including process and outcome assessments as specified in the final evaluation plan developed between the Supplier and the State evaluation team; collection of National Outcome Measures (NOMs); and participation in any other ODMHSAS or SAMHSA required evaluations. Supplier shall report process and outcome data in a manner prescribed by the ODMHSAS, including but not limited to the Arena Reporting System.

If Contractor meets the minimum benchmark for all measures during the measurement period, all paid per diem Medicaid and DMH claims for residential treatment during the measurement period will be identified. To calculate the bonus amount, the amount paid for each claim is multiplied by .1 to provide a 10% performance-based payment. Each quarter, previous payments will be reviewed to identify if any claims which received a performance-based payment were recouped or overpaid. Any recoupment/overpayment will be reduced from current and/or future performance-based payments.

SBIRT Services Adult (SSM Pauls Valley & Purcell)
INTRODUCTION:
- Contractor will provide the resources necessary to implement the Oklahoma Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT OK) system change initiative. The primary objectives of this initiative are: (1) to generate sufficient clinical revenues to support a licensed and reimbursable SBIRT provider; and (2) to integrate and sustain a universal SBIRT protocol in the SSM Health St. Anthony primary care system clinical workflow, billing, and electronic medical record processes with the Pauls Valley Medical Group and Purcell Medical Group.
DEFINITIONS:
- SBIRT - A protocol consisting of a (1) universal, (minimal) annual screen of all adult patients visiting the primary care clinic who are medically able and agree to participate for drug abuse, alcohol misuse, depression and tobacco dependence; (2) follow-up screens when indicated; (3) brief intervention(s); and (4) referral to treatment when indicated.
WORK REQUIREMENTS:
- In collaboration with the ODMHSAS Prevention Division, Contractor shall submit a written detailed description of their working SBIRT model along with a narrative of their implementation experience, key learnings and challenges by June 30, 2021. Contractor shall design and implement an effective SBIRT model which satisfies their unique and local practice requirements while maintaining fidelity to the SAMHSA, SBIRT model. The CDC document Planning and Implementing Screening and Brief Intervention for Risky Alcohol Use, A Step-by-Step Guide for Primary Care Practices contains essential information on how to develop and implement an effective and successful SBIRT program. Contractor shall utilize this guide as the framework for the SBIRT OK project plan. The plan shall detail implementation and evaluation activities for the project period to accomplish the following minimum requirements:
- By December 15, 2020, regularly convene a SBIRT OK project team to develop internal procedures and oversee project implementation (initial weekly schedule).
- Develop a project milestone timeline; identify primary care setting(s) to implement SBIRT and commence SBIRT services in two sites. Contractor has identified Pauls Valley Medical Group and Purcell Medical Group.
- Recruit, orient, and supervise a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) or Nurse Practitioner (NP) to conduct SBIRT services to patients presenting for healthcare in the designated clinics.
- Complete motivational interviewing and SBIRT protocol training prior to implementation, as required by ODMHSAS. This is to include all mandatory training that is offered by the ODMHSAS SBIRT Project staff.
- Create a screening plan to ensure a minimum of 80% of patients over age 18 presenting for primary care services receive electronic alcohol, depression, drug and tobacco screening and scoring. Patients shall receive alcohol, depression, drug misuse and tobacco information materials feedback and education.
- Develop a brief intervention plan to ensure indicated patients receive alcohol, depression, drug misuse, and tobacco point of care brief interventions. The brief intervention shall use motivational interviewing, the brief negotiated interview and/or the FRAMES model. Brief interventions may include subsequent follow-up treatments/interventions.
- Develop a referral plan to ensure indicated, high-risk patients receive alcohol, depression, drug misuse, and tobacco referral services. Suicide intervention and referral process shall be included in the plan.
- Create patient work flow model that is collaborative with the healthcare providers that are using the screening tools.
- Institutionalize effective alcohol, drug misuse, tobacco, and depression prevention and early intervention SBIRT policies, protocols, and practices within the primary care clinics.
- Integrate SBIRT- electronic screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment protocols, documentation, and task notification - within the electronic medical record.
- Collaborate with the necessary resources on coding, reimbursement, insurance contracts and billing for the purpose of assuring SBIRT revenue is received from third party payers. Contractor shall provide the ODMHSAS with the revenue criteria to sustain the full-time social work position within their health care system. Behavioral health codes should be explored and used, as appropriate, as a sustainable means of income for the position. A billing/coding reimbursement model should be presented to SBIRT Project staff upon request.
- Establish and Monitor for program fidelity and quality. ODMHSAS will follow up with a site visit at least on an annual basis. The site visit may include, but is not limited to: looking at financial records and receipts, conducting interviews with the SBIRT Project team, reviewing SBIRT protocols and client records for fidelity.
- Document and report to the ODMHSAS the following minimum measures:
- Total number of patients in the target population. This is the number of adults who present for services at the clinic who have not previously received an annual screen.
- Percentage screened. The number of patients who are actually screened divided by the number in the target population (above) is the percentage of patients screened. This is a good measure of the effectiveness, or coverage of the screening system. An initial objective of 80% is a reasonable goal increasing over time as the program evolves.
- Number and percentage that screen positively. The percentage of screened patients deemed positive (i.e., the number positive divided by the number screened) is important in communicating to staff and administrators about the size of the problem and the number of patients needing help. Without an SBIRT program, these patients would likely not be identified. It is anticipated that o the 80% screened 25% will screen positive for alcohol use disorder and 10-20% of that same population will screen positive for depression.
- Percentage of positives receiving an intervention. The number of patients who received interventions divided by the number who screen positive will measure effectiveness in actually getting help to those who need it. Performance goals will be established evaluated and adjusted based on performance. Over time they may be raised as high as is realistically achievable.
- Percentage referred. The number referred divided by the number who should have been referred (those screened using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test or AUDIT as likely to have alcohol dependence) or who screen positive using the DAST (Drug Abuse Screening Tool) will provide another measure of effectiveness.
- Contractor shall document and share project data as requested by the ODMHSAS, including but not limited to SBIRT participant data, billing/reimbursement data, and other outcome and process metrics; as requested by ODMHSAS Staff, but at least quarterly.
- Contractor shall participate in: ODMHSAS arranged and provided trainings; the SBIRT OK Advisory Collaborative; and in development and planning meetings with the ODMHSAS.

G. PATH GPRA Measures
- The Government Performance and Results Act (GRPA), enacted in 1993, requires federal agencies to establish standards
measuring their performance and effectiveness. Below are the PATH GRPA Measures. It is recommended that each PATH site strive to
achieve the Oklahoma PATH Targets listed for each measure.
- Increase the number of homeless persons contacted
- This measure captures the number of homeless persons contacted by PATH providers. Persistent and consistent outreach
and the introduction of services at the clients pace are important steps to engaging homeless persons with serious
mental illness (SMI) and to beginning the process of linking them to housing, mental health, substance abuse, case management
and other supportive services.
- Calculation: Persons served by federal PATH funds
- Federal PATH Target: 160,000 (nationally)
- Oklahoma PATH Target 600 (Each PATH provider should target to achieve or exceed the # of persons
projected in their Intended Use Plan.)
- Increase the percentage of homeless persons with SMI who become enrolled in
services (annual and long-term)
- This measure is an indicator of the rate of enrollment for PATH-eligible individuals.
PATH enrollment is defined as:
- The individual is determined to be PATH-eligible, (i.e., experiencing Severe Mental Illness and homelessness
or imminent risk of homelessness)
- The PATH worker established engagement with the individual (the individual has agreed to work towards a
goal with the PATH worker),
- The PATH worker opened an individual file that contains:
- Demographic information,
- Documentation of PATH eligibility,
- Mutual agreement for the provision of services, and
- Services provided.
- Calculation: Number of outreach contacts who become enrolled in PATH divided by Persons served by federal PATH
funds outreach minus Number of outreach client not enrolled because ineligible
- Federal PATH Target 55%
- Oklahoma PATH Target 55%
- Increase the percentage of enrolled homeless persons who receive community
mental health services
- Calculation: Number of persons enrolled in community mental health services divided by Persons served by
federal PATH funds enrolled clients.
- Federal PATH Target 47%
- Oklahoma PATH Target- 75%
- Maintain average Federal cost of enrolling a homeless person with SMI
in services
- Calculation: Federal PATH appropriation divided by persons served by PATH
funds enrolled PATH clients.
- Federal PATH Target - $668
- Oklahoma PATH Target - $668 (Each PATH provider should strive to increase the number of individuals enrolled
in PATH beyond the number projected in their Intended Use Plan to work toward this target.)
H. Annual PATH Meeting
- All PATH funded staff will attend one yearly PATH Meeting. The location of this meeting will be rotated among each
PATH site. The purpose of the meeting will be to share information, provide updates and review of the implementation of PATH
services, and to provide a networking opportunity for Oklahoma PATH providers.
I. Prior Authorization/Billing
- The Procedure Code Group (DH520) is to be used by agencies with an ODMHSAS contract for PATH, for the provision
of designated services for all individuals served under the Federal PATH grant. It is a one-time 6-month authorization that
is requested in addition to a standard outpatient authorization, to accommodate the more intensive service need during the
first 6 months of the transitional 9-month PATH program. This is an instant authorization that will be created upon
completion of a 23, 40, or 42 CDC with a service focus of 25 (PATH) and outpatient level of care. This request is totally
separate from the standard outpatient PA request, and has a separate dollar cap. Valid CAR Scores are required, but they do
not need to support a particular level to access the PATH PA.
- When billing for services eligible under the PATH specific PA (DH520), you will use the PATH specific billing codes
that are located in the ODMHSAS Services Manual. When billing for PATH under the standard outpatient PA you will just bill the
regular outpatient codes (not the PATH specific codes). For a list of the services that can be billed under the PATH specific PA,
go to www.odmhsas.org/arc.htm click on Billing Information and then PA Group Spreadsheet.
On the summary tab, you will find the DH520 at the bottom of the page - just click on the word PATH.

Department of Corrections, or aging out of the foster care system, with accessing and maintaining decent, safe, sanitary, and
affordable housing. To facilitate access to such housing, Program funds will be used to assist eligible applicants with housing
costs such as rent, utility costs, rent deposits and utility deposits. The amount and type of assistance will be determined based
on individual income level, and identified need. The housing subsidy will be tenant based, as it will be provided based on the
housing selected by the program participant.
- Eligible Applicants - Individuals (age 18 and older) with mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance
abuse disorders who are discharging from psychiatric inpatient care, Department of Corrections, or aging out of the foster care
system. Individuals must be either homeless or at risk of becoming homeless if rental assistance is not received. Individuals
should meet requirements for very low income and have a gross annual income at or below $16,500, however, incomes above $16,500
can be considered on a case by case basis.
- Rental Assistance (Including Utility Assistance) - The maximum amount of rental assistance to help pay
for rent and utilities is $574 per month, which is based on the Fair Market Rent amount for a 1-bedroom. Assistance is not
restricted to 1-bedroom housing units, or to units for which the total rent and utility costs do not exceed $574, however,
it is recommended that referring agencies assist participants in locating housing for which costs do not exceed the $574 maximum
(and all bills paid units when possible) to help assure affordability and success for all program participants.
- Rental assistance can be provided to individuals with no income. Rental assistance for individuals with an income
will be calculated as follows:
- First 6 Months - subsidy recipients will pay 0% of their gross monthly income toward rent and utilities,
and the remainder of the rent/utilities can be provided as rental assistance (up to the $574 maximum).
- Last 6 Months - subsidy recipients will pay 30% of their gross monthly income toward rent and utilities,
and the remainder of the rent/utilities can be provided as rental assistance (up to the $574 maximum).
- The goal of the Housing Subsidy Funds is to assist participants with transition to self-sufficiency between 9 to 12
months. Based on individual needs, the provision of subsidy beyond 12 months will be considered on a case
by case basis.
- It is expected that the all participants and outpatient services agencies will work actively together toward employment
or SSI/SSDI income, as well as on other recovery focused goals/objectives, as this is a time limited program.
- Rent & Utility Deposits - One-time assistance with rent and utility deposits may be provided to program
participants but may not exceed a total of $574.
- Referring Agencies - Referring agencies will need to complete and submit (with all required information)
the Discharge Planning Housing Subsidy Referral Form (Part 1 & Part 2) to the contracted Gatekeeping agency.
- Part 1 of the Referral form must be completed by the discharging psychiatric hospital, discharging Department of
Corrections facility, or the Department of Human Services for children aging out of the foster care system, and must be
completed and submitted prior to discharge. The Gatekeeping agency will contact the referring agency and notify if applicant
is approved to move forward with arranging for housing. Part 2 of the Referral form can either be complete by the discharging
agency and the applicant, or the discharging agency may arrange for the outpatient services agency and the applicant to
complete Part 2 of the referral. Part 2 of the referral must be received by the Gatekeeping agency within 30 days of the
Projected Discharge Date listed on Part 1 of the referral. If Part 2 of the referral is not received during that period,
Part 1 of the referral will be determined null and void, and the participant will no longer be eligible to participate in the
subsidy program. If discharge date is going to be different than what is listed on Part 1, it is the responsibility of the
referring agency to notify the Gatekeeping agency.

sign a lease agreement on their behalf. Emergency shelter youth meet the RHY definition under the Family and Youth Services Bureau
Administration for Children and Families and be 17 years and younger.
Rental Assistance (Including Utility Assistance) - The maximum amount of rental assistance to help pay for rent
and utilities is $574 per month, which is based on the higher range of Fair Market Rent for a 1-bedroom. Assistance is not
restricted to 1-bedroom housing units, or to units for which the total rent and utility costs do not exceed $574, however, it
is recommended that referring projects assist subsidy recipients in locating housing for which costs do not exceed the $574
maximum (and all bills paid units when possible) to help assure affordability and success. If unit is not all bills paid, it is
recommended that referring projects assist subsidy recipients in getting on the utility averaging plans to further help assure
affordability.
Rental assistance can be provided to individuals with no income. Rental assistance for individuals with an income will
be calculated as follows:
First 6 Months - subsidy recipients will pay 0% of their gross monthly income toward rent and utilities,
and the remainder of the rent/utilities can be provided as rental assistance (up to the $574 maximum).
Last 6 Months - subsidy recipients will pay 30% of their gross monthly income toward rent and utilities,
and the remainder of the rent/utilities can be provided as rental assistance (up to the $574 maximum).
The goal of the Housing Subsidy Funds is to assist recipients with transition to self-sufficiency between 9 to 12 months.
Based on individual needs, the provision of subsidy beyond 12 months will be considered on a case by case basis.
It is expected that the all subsidy recipients and Program staff will work actively together toward employment or
SSI/SSDI income, toward obtaining Section 8 rental assistance, and on other recovery focused goals/objectives, as this is a time
limited program.
Host Home Stipend Provision - The maximum amount of stipend to help pay for Host family increase costs is $300
per month. Stipends are issued on a month to month basis following the completion of a payment request form from the Host Home
Agency to contractor.
Stipends will be issued via check or preferred payment method by the contractor directly to the host
family for reimbursement.
The goal of the Housing Subsidy Funds Host Home is to assist recipients temporarily with transition to
self-sufficiency between 3 to 6 months. Based on individual needs, the provision of subsidy beyond 6 months will be considered
on a case by case basis.
It is expected that the all subsidy recipients and Program staff will work actively together toward long term housing
solutions, employment or SSI/SSDI income, toward obtaining Section 8 stipends or any other objective that results in the youth no
longer experiencing homelessness.
Emergency Shelter - The maximum stay per transition youth or RHY is 30 consecutive days at a rate of $35/day.
The approved ODMHSAS shelter provider may not bill for more than four youth per day.

- Appendix
- ODMHSAS Transition Youth Housing Subsidy Protocol
Eligible Applicants - Individuals (ages 16 - 25) who have a mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance use for assistance with accessing and maintaining decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing. Individuals should meet requirements for very low income and have a gross annual income at or below $16,500; however, incomes above $16,500 can be considered on a case by case basis. Individuals who are under the age of 18 must either be legally emancipated or have a Guardian willing to sign a lease agreement on their behalf. If the individual has children in their legal custody at time of application, they are allowed to live with applicant in the residence paid for by subsidy funds. If an applicant requests a roommate or significant other reside with them in subsidy funded apartments, they are eligible for youth subsidy funds at 50% of the approved amount, whereas said roommate must provide the remaining balances of rent/utilities and be a signed and approved leaseholder along with applicant or otherwise meet the same qualifications to become a subsidy recipient themselves and become a leaseholder in the same residence.
Rental Assistance (Including Utility Assistance) - The maximum amount of rental assistance to help pay for rent and utilities is $601 per month, which is based on the higher range of Fair Market Rent for a 1-bedroom. Assistance is not restricted to 1-bedroom housing units, or to units for which the total rent and utility costs do not exceed $601, however, it is recommended that referring projects assist subsidy recipients in locating housing for which costs do not exceed the $601 maximum (and all bills paid units when possible) to help assure affordability and success. This amount can be amended to $762 if the applicant has a child in their custody and is needing a unit of up to 2 bedrooms or more. If unit is not all bills paid, it is recommended that referring projects assist subsidy recipients in getting on the utility averaging plans to further help assure affordability.
Rental assistance can be provided to individuals with no income. Rental assistance for individuals with an income will be calculated as follows:
First 6 Months - subsidy recipients will pay 0% of their gross monthly income toward rent and utilities, and the remainder of the rent/utilities can be provided as rental assistance (up to the $601 maximum).
Last 6 Months - subsidy recipients will pay 30% of their gross monthly income toward rent and utilities, and the remainder of the rent/utilities can be provided as rental assistance (up to the $601 maximum).
The goal of the Housing Subsidy Funds is to assist recipients with transition to self-sufficiency between 9 to 12 months. Based on individual needs, the provision of subsidy beyond 12 months will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
It is expected that the all-subsidy recipients and Program staff will work actively together toward employment or SSI/SSDI income, toward obtaining Section 8 rental assistance, and on other recovery focused goals/objectives, as this is a time limited program.
Rent & Utility Deposits - One-time assistance with rent and utility deposits may be provided to subsidy recipients but may not exceed a total of $601 or $762 in approved units of parenting youth.
Making A Referral Subsidy Rental Assistance:
- All referrals must come from one of the existing Oklahoma Department of Mental Health Substance Abuse Services Contractor unless approved by the ODMHSAS Program Manager. Part 1 of the referral form must be submitted, and initial approval received from HOPE Community Services prior to moving forward to assist a person with housing. This is to ensure that people referred meet initial eligibility requirements and that the program has enough money to serve them. Once initial approval is received from HOPE, housing can be arranged and Part 2 of the referral should be submitted. If Part 2, and related documentation, is not received by HOPE within 30 days of approval of Part 1, the referral will be null and void, and an entirely new referral (Part 1 & 2) will need to be submitted.
- Both parts of the referral form submitted must be complete, including all of the documentation requested:
- Proof of income or signed statement from applicant if no income (Certification of Zero Income form);
- Signed Subsidy Recipient Agreement (If the applicant is under age 18, and not legally emancipated, a Guardian is required to sign unless they have been provided a certificate of Unaccompanied Status via ODMHSAS or DHS).
- A release of information authorizing communication between HOPE Community Services and the designated Landlord, and utility companies (when utility assistance, including deposit assistance, is requested), regarding payment of bills; and
- A release of information authorizing communication between HOPE Community Services and the designated Program Agency, regarding the tenants receipt of subsidy funds.
- Completed referrals should be submitted to:
- HOPE Community Services, Inc.
- Attn: Transition Youth Subsidy Program
- 6100 South Walker Ave.
- Oklahoma City, OK 73129
- (405) 634-4400
- Fax (405) 632-1976
- Please note that referral information that is not complete will be returned to the agency who submitted it for completion. If you have any questions regarding the completion of the referral, or regarding the Transition Youth Housing Subsidy program in general, please contact HOPE or Andru Dallaly at ODMHSAS.
Things To Remember:

G. PATH GPRA Measures
- The Government Performance and Results Act (GRPA), enacted in 1993, requires federal agencies to establish standards
measuring their performance and effectiveness. Below are the PATH GRPA Measures. It is recommended that each PATH site strive to
achieve the Oklahoma PATH Targets listed for each measure.
- Increase the number of homeless persons contacted
- This measure captures the number of homeless persons contacted by PATH providers. Persistent and consistent outreach
and the introduction of services at the clients pace are important steps to engaging homeless persons with serious
mental illness (SMI) and to beginning the process of linking them to housing, mental health, substance abuse, case management
and other supportive services.
- Calculation: Persons served by federal PATH funds
- Federal PATH Target: 160,000 (nationally)
- Oklahoma PATH Target 600 (Each PATH provider should target to achieve or exceed the # of persons
projected in their Intended Use Plan.)
- Increase the percentage of homeless persons with SMI who become enrolled in
services (annual and long-term)
- This measure is an indicator of the rate of enrollment for PATH-eligible individuals.
PATH enrollment is defined as:
- The individual is determined to be PATH-eligible, (i.e., experiencing Severe Mental Illness and homelessness
or imminent risk of homelessness)
- The PATH worker established engagement with the individual (the individual has agreed to work towards a
goal with the PATH worker),
- The PATH worker opened an individual file that contains:
- Demographic information,
- Documentation of PATH eligibility,
- Mutual agreement for the provision of services, and
- Services provided.
- Calculation: Number of outreach contacts who become enrolled in PATH divided by Persons served by federal PATH
funds outreach minus Number of outreach client not enrolled because ineligible
- Federal PATH Target 55%
- Oklahoma PATH Target 55%
- Increase the percentage of enrolled homeless persons who receive community
mental health services
- Calculation: Number of persons enrolled in community mental health services divided by Persons served by
federal PATH funds enrolled clients.
- Federal PATH Target 47%
- Oklahoma PATH Target- 75%
- Maintain average Federal cost of enrolling a homeless person with SMI
in services
- Calculation: Federal PATH appropriation divided by persons served by PATH
funds enrolled PATH clients.
- Federal PATH Target - $668
- Oklahoma PATH Target - $668 (Each PATH provider should strive to increase the number of individuals enrolled
in PATH beyond the number projected in their Intended Use Plan to work toward this target.)
H. Annual PATH Meeting
- All PATH funded staff will attend one yearly PATH Meeting. The location of this meeting will be rotated among each
PATH site. The purpose of the meeting will be to share information, provide updates and review of the implementation of PATH
services, and to provide a networking opportunity for Oklahoma PATH providers.
I. Prior Authorization/Billing
- The Procedure Code Group (DH520) is to be used by agencies with an ODMHSAS contract for PATH, for the provision
of designated services for all individuals served under the Federal PATH grant. It is a one-time 6-month authorization that
is requested in addition to a standard outpatient authorization, to accommodate the more intensive service need during the
first 6 months of the transitional 9-month PATH program. This is an instant authorization that will be created upon
completion of a 23, 40, or 42 CDC with a service focus of 25 (PATH) and outpatient level of care. This request is totally
separate from the standard outpatient PA request, and has a separate dollar cap. Valid CAR Scores are required, but they do
not need to support a particular level to access the PATH PA.
- When billing for services eligible under the PATH specific PA (DH520), you will use the PATH specific billing codes
that are located in the ODMHSAS Services Manual. When billing for PATH under the standard outpatient PA you will just bill the
regular outpatient codes (not the PATH specific codes). For a list of the services that can be billed under the PATH specific PA,
go to www.odmhsas.org/arc.htm click on Billing Information and then PA Group Spreadsheet.
On the summary tab, you will find the DH520 at the bottom of the page - just click on the word PATH.
- ODMHSAS Protocol for Use of Discharge Planning Housing Subsidy Funds
The goal of Discharge Planning Housing Subsidy Funds is to assist very low-income individuals (age 18 and older)
with mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse disorders who are discharging from psychiatric inpatient care,
Department of Corrections, or aging out of the foster care system, with accessing and maintaining decent, safe, sanitary, and
affordable housing. To facilitate access to such housing, Program funds will be used to assist eligible applicants with housing
costs such as rent, utility costs, rent deposits and utility deposits. The amount and type of assistance will be determined based
on individual income level, and identified need. The housing subsidy will be tenant based, as it will be provided based on the
housing selected by the program participant.
- Eligible Applicants - Individuals (age 18 and older) with mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance
abuse disorders who are discharging from psychiatric inpatient care, Department of Corrections, or aging out of the foster care
system. Individuals must be either homeless or at risk of becoming homeless if rental assistance is not received. Individuals
should meet requirements for very low income and have a gross annual income at or below $16,500, however, incomes above $16,500
can be considered on a case by case basis.
- Rental Assistance (Including Utility Assistance) - The maximum amount of rental assistance to help pay
for rent and utilities is $574 per month, which is based on the Fair Market Rent amount for a 1-bedroom. Assistance is not
restricted to 1-bedroom housing units, or to units for which the total rent and utility costs do not exceed $574, however,
it is recommended that referring agencies assist participants in locating housing for which costs do not exceed the $574 maximum
(and all bills paid units when possible) to help assure affordability and success for all program participants.
- Rental assistance can be provided to individuals with no income. Rental assistance for individuals with an income
will be calculated as follows:
- First 6 Months - subsidy recipients will pay 0% of their gross monthly income toward rent and utilities,
and the remainder of the rent/utilities can be provided as rental assistance (up to the $574 maximum).
- Last 6 Months - subsidy recipients will pay 30% of their gross monthly income toward rent and utilities,
and the remainder of the rent/utilities can be provided as rental assistance (up to the $574 maximum).
- The goal of the Housing Subsidy Funds is to assist participants with transition to self-sufficiency between 9 to 12
months. Based on individual needs, the provision of subsidy beyond 12 months will be considered on a case
by case basis.
- It is expected that the all participants and outpatient services agencies will work actively together toward employment
or SSI/SSDI income, as well as on other recovery focused goals/objectives, as this is a time limited program.
- Rent & Utility Deposits - One-time assistance with rent and utility deposits may be provided to program
participants but may not exceed a total of $574.
- Referring Agencies - Referring agencies will need to complete and submit (with all required information)
the Discharge Planning Housing Subsidy Referral Form (Part 1 & Part 2) to the contracted Gatekeeping agency.
- Part 1 of the Referral form must be completed by the discharging psychiatric hospital, discharging Department of
Corrections facility, or the Department of Human Services for children aging out of the foster care system, and must be
completed and submitted prior to discharge. The Gatekeeping agency will contact the referring agency and notify if applicant
is approved to move forward with arranging for housing. Part 2 of the Referral form can either be complete by the discharging
agency and the applicant, or the discharging agency may arrange for the outpatient services agency and the applicant to
complete Part 2 of the referral. Part 2 of the referral must be received by the Gatekeeping agency within 30 days of the
Projected Discharge Date listed on Part 1 of the referral. If Part 2 of the referral is not received during that period,
Part 1 of the referral will be determined null and void, and the participant will no longer be eligible to participate in the
subsidy program. If discharge date is going to be different than what is listed on Part 1, it is the responsibility of the
referring agency to notify the Gatekeeping agency.
GATEKEEPING AGENCY REPSPONSIBILITIES

contact with the designated service provider for which a release has been obtained. If unable to confirm continued residence
at the location for which subsidy is being received, the subsidy recipient will be notified that unless confirmation is
received subsidy payments will be terminated after a period of 30 days.

- Appendix
- ODMHSAS Transition Youth Housing Subsidy Protocol
Eligible Applicants - Individuals (ages 16 - 25) who have a mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance use for assistance with accessing and maintaining decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing. Individuals should meet requirements for very low income and have a gross annual income at or below $16,500; however, incomes above $16,500 can be considered on a case by case basis. Individuals who are under the age of 18 must either be legally emancipated or have a Guardian willing to sign a lease agreement on their behalf. If the individual has children in their legal custody at time of application, they are allowed to live with applicant in the residence paid for by subsidy funds. If an applicant requests a roommate or significant other reside with them in subsidy funded apartments, they are eligible for youth subsidy funds at 50% of the approved amount, whereas said roommate must provide the remaining balances of rent/utilities and be a signed and approved leaseholder along with applicant or otherwise meet the same qualifications to become a subsidy recipient themselves and become a leaseholder in the same residence.
Rental Assistance (Including Utility Assistance) - The maximum amount of rental assistance to help pay for rent and utilities is $601 per month, which is based on the higher range of Fair Market Rent for a 1-bedroom. Assistance is not restricted to 1-bedroom housing units, or to units for which the total rent and utility costs do not exceed $601, however, it is recommended that referring projects assist subsidy recipients in locating housing for which costs do not exceed the $601 maximum (and all bills paid units when possible) to help assure affordability and success. This amount can be amended to $762 if the applicant has a child in their custody and is needing a unit of up to 2 bedrooms or more. If unit is not all bills paid, it is recommended that referring projects assist subsidy recipients in getting on the utility averaging plans to further help assure affordability.
Rental assistance can be provided to individuals with no income. Rental assistance for individuals with an income will be calculated as follows:
First 6 Months - subsidy recipients will pay 0% of their gross monthly income toward rent and utilities, and the remainder of the rent/utilities can be provided as rental assistance (up to the $601 maximum).
Last 6 Months - subsidy recipients will pay 30% of their gross monthly income toward rent and utilities, and the remainder of the rent/utilities can be provided as rental assistance (up to the $601 maximum).
The goal of the Housing Subsidy Funds is to assist recipients with transition to self-sufficiency between 9 to 12 months. Based on individual needs, the provision of subsidy beyond 12 months will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
It is expected that the all-subsidy recipients and Program staff will work actively together toward employment or SSI/SSDI income, toward obtaining Section 8 rental assistance, and on other recovery focused goals/objectives, as this is a time limited program.
Rent & Utility Deposits - One-time assistance with rent and utility deposits may be provided to subsidy recipients but may not exceed a total of $601 or $762 in approved units of parenting youth.
Making A Referral Subsidy Rental Assistance:
All referrals must come from one of the existing Oklahoma Department of Mental Health Substance Abuse Services Contractor unless approved by the ODMHSAS Program Manager. Part 1 of the referral form must be submitted, and initial approval received from HOPE Community Services prior to moving forward to assist a person with housing. This is to ensure that people referred meet initial eligibility requirements and that the program has enough money to serve them. Once initial approval is received from HOPE, housing can be arranged and Part 2 of the referral should be submitted. If Part 2, and related documentation, is not received by HOPE within 30 days of approval of Part 1, the referral will be null and void, and an entirely new referral (Part 1 & 2) will need to be submitted.
Both parts of the referral form submitted must be complete, including all of the documentation requested:
- Proof of income or signed statement from applicant if no income (Certification of Zero Income form);
- Signed Subsidy Recipient Agreement (If the applicant is under age 18, and not legally emancipated, a Guardian is required to sign unless they have been provided a certificate of Unaccompanied Status via ODMHSAS or DHS).
- A release of information authorizing communication between HOPE Community Services and the designated Landlord, and utility companies (when utility assistance, including deposit assistance, is requested), regarding payment of bills; and
- A release of information authorizing communication between HOPE Community Services and the designated Program Agency, regarding the tenants receipt of subsidy funds.
Completed referrals should be submitted to:
- HOPE Community Services, Inc.
- Attn: Transition Youth Subsidy Program
- 6100 South Walker Ave.
- Oklahoma City, OK 73129
- (405) 634-4400
- Fax: (405) 632-1976
Please note that referral information that is not complete will be returned to the agency who submitted it for completion. If you have any questions regarding the completion of the referral, or regarding the Transition Youth Housing Subsidy program in general, please contact HOPE or Andru Dallaly at ODMHSAS.
Things To Remember:
- A copy of the signed lease agreement between tenant and landlord must be mailed or faxed to Hope Community Services by the second month for which rental assistance is needed (subsidy cannot be continued past the first month until a signed lease agreement is received).
- If the landlord does not have a lease agreement, please use the Lease Agreement form included in the referral packet.
- If rental unit is not all bills paid, it is recommended that referring projects assist subsidy recipients in getting on the utility averaging plans to further help assure affordability.
- If utility assistance is requested, utility bills must be submitted monthly by mail or fax to HOPE Community Services for payment (up to the total amount allowed for utility assistance).
- Part 1 of the referral is submitted, and approval from HOPE is required to proceed with housing assistance and the completion of Part 2 of the referral.
- Part 2 of the referral must be received by HOPE within 30 days after HOPE has approved Part 1. If not received within that timeframe, the referral will be null and void and a new referral will need to be submitted and approval from HOPE obtained.

- Child, Youth, Young Adults & Families Transition Youth Housing Subsidy
This Contract is to provide housing subsidy through certain authorized expenditures pursuant to the Departments Protocol for use of Transition Youth Housing Subsidy Funds located in the Appendix section of this document.
WORK REQUIREMENTS:
- Transition Youth Housing Subsidy Funds are to be used to assist very low-income individuals (ages 16 - 25) and/or runaway and homeless youth (15-25 years of age) who have a mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorders OR meet qualifying criteria for Host Home* Placement with accessing and maintaining decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing and host home placements. Consumers aged 25-30 who are actively enrolled in a Navigate program through Family and Childrens Services or Red Rock Behavioral Health are eligible for subsidy assistance as long as they intend to be actively in the program for the duration of the lease.
PERFORMANCE MONITORING:
- Contractor shall submit monthly billing documentation and monthly activity reports as outlined in the Departments Protocol for Use of Transition Youth Housing Subsidy Funds located in the Appendix section of this document.
- Appendix
- ODMHSAS Transition Youth Housing Subsidy Protocol
Eligible Applicants - Individuals (ages 16 - 25) who have a mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance use for assistance with accessing and maintaining decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing. Individuals should meet requirements for very low income and have a gross annual income at or below $16,500; however, incomes above $16,500 can be considered on a case by case basis. Individuals who are under the age of 18 must either be legally emancipated or have a Guardian willing to sign a lease agreement on their behalf. If the individual has children in their legal custody at time of application, they are allowed to live with applicant in the residence paid for by subsidy funds. If an applicant requests a roommate or significant other reside with them in subsidy funded apartments, they are eligible for youth subsidy funds at 50% of the approved amount, whereas said roommate must provide the remaining balances of rent/utilities and be a signed and approved leaseholder along with applicant or otherwise meet the same qualifications to become a subsidy recipient themselves and become a leaseholder in the same residence.
Rental Assistance (Including Utility Assistance) - The maximum amount of rental assistance to help pay for rent and utilities is $601 per month, which is based on the higher range of Fair Market Rent for a 1-bedroom. Assistance is not restricted to 1-bedroom housing units, or to units for which the total rent and utility costs do not exceed $601, however, it is recommended that referring projects assist subsidy recipients in locating housing for which costs do not exceed the $601 maximum (and all bills paid units when possible) to help assure affordability and success. This amount can be amended to $762 if the applicant has a child in their custody and is needing a unit of up to 2 bedrooms or more. If unit is not all bills paid, it is recommended that referring projects assist subsidy recipients in getting on the utility averaging plans to further help assure affordability.
Rental assistance can be provided to individuals with no income. Rental assistance for individuals with an income will be calculated as follows:
First 6 Months - subsidy recipients will pay 0% of their gross monthly income toward rent and utilities, and the remainder of the rent/utilities can be provided as rental assistance (up to the $601 maximum).
Last 6 Months - subsidy recipients will pay 30% of their gross monthly income toward rent and utilities, and the remainder of the rent/utilities can be provided as rental assistance (up to the $601 maximum).
The goal of the Housing Subsidy Funds is to assist recipients with transition to self-sufficiency between 9 to 12 months. Based on individual needs, the provision of subsidy beyond 12 months will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
It is expected that the all-subsidy recipients and Program staff will work actively together toward employment or SSI/SSDI income, toward obtaining Section 8 rental assistance, and on other recovery focused goals/objectives, as this is a time limited program.
Rent & Utility Deposits - One-time assistance with rent and utility deposits may be provided to subsidy recipients but may not exceed a total of $601 or $762 in approved units of parenting youth.
Making A Referral Subsidy Rental Assistance:
- All referrals must come from one of the existing Oklahoma Department of Mental Health Substance Abuse Services Contractor unless approved by the ODMHSAS Program Manager. Part 1 of the referral form must be submitted, and initial approval received from HOPE Community Services prior to moving forward to assist a person with housing. This is to ensure that people referred meet initial eligibility requirements and that the program has enough money to serve them. Once initial approval is received from HOPE, housing can be arranged and Part 2 of the referral should be submitted. If Part 2, and related documentation, is not received by HOPE within 30 days of approval of Part 1, the referral will be null and void, and an entirely new referral (Part 1 & 2) will need to be submitted.
- Both parts of the referral form submitted must be complete, including all of the documentation requested:
- Proof of income or signed statement from applicant if no income (Certification of Zero Income form);
- Signed Subsidy Recipient Agreement (If the applicant is under age 18, and not legally emancipated, a Guardian is required to sign unless they have been provided a certificate of Unaccompanied Status via ODMHSAS or DHS).

- A release of information authorizing communication between HOPE Community Services and the designated Program Agency, regarding the tenants receipt of subsidy funds.

If you have any questions regarding the completion of the referral, or regarding the Transition Youth Housing Subsidy program in general, please contact HOPE or Andru Dallaly at ODMHSAS.
Things To Remember:
- A copy of the signed lease agreement between tenant and landlord must be mailed or faxed to Hope Community Services by the second month for which rental assistance is needed (subsidy cannot be continued past the first month until a signed lease agreement is received).
- If the landlord does not have a lease agreement, please use the Lease Agreement form included in the referral packet.
- If rental unit is not all bills paid, it is recommended that referring projects assist subsidy recipients in getting on the utility averaging plans to further help assure affordability.
- If utility assistance is requested, utility bills must be submitted monthly by mail or fax to HOPE Community Services for payment (up to the total amount allowed for utility assistance).
- Part 1 of the referral is submitted, and approval from HOPE is required to proceed with housing assistance and the completion of Part 2 of the referral.
- Part 2 of the referral must be received by HOPE within 30 days after HOPE has approved Part 1. If not received within that timeframe, the referral will be null and void and a new referral will need to be submitted and approval from HOPE obtained.

H. Annual PATH Meeting
- All PATH funded staff will attend one yearly PATH Meeting. The location of this meeting will be rotated among each
PATH site. The purpose of the meeting will be to share information, provide updates and review of the implementation of PATH
services, and to provide a networking opportunity for Oklahoma PATH providers.
I. Prior Authorization/Billing
- The Procedure Code Group (DH520) is to be used by agencies with an ODMHSAS contract for PATH, for the provision
of designated services for all individuals served under the Federal PATH grant. It is a one-time 6-month authorization that
is requested in addition to a standard outpatient authorization, to accommodate the more intensive service need during the
first 6 months of the transitional 9-month PATH program. This is an instant authorization that will be created upon
completion of a 23, 40, or 42 CDC with a service focus of 25 (PATH) and outpatient level of care. This request is totally
separate from the standard outpatient PA request, and has a separate dollar cap. Valid CAR Scores are required, but they do
not need to support a particular level to access the PATH PA.
- When billing for services eligible under the PATH specific PA (DH520), you will use the PATH specific billing codes
that are located in the ODMHSAS Services Manual. When billing for PATH under the standard outpatient PA you will just bill the
regular outpatient codes (not the PATH specific codes). For a list of the services that can be billed under the PATH specific PA,
go to www.odmhsas.org/arc.htm click on Billing Information and then PA Group Spreadsheet.
On the summary tab, you will find the DH520 at the bottom of the page - just click on the word PATH.
- ODMHSAS Protocol for Use of Discharge Planning Housing Subsidy Funds
The goal of Discharge Planning Housing Subsidy Funds is to assist very low-income individuals (age 18 and older)
with mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse disorders who are discharging from psychiatric inpatient care,
Department of Corrections, or aging out of the foster care system, with accessing and maintaining decent, safe, sanitary, and
affordable housing. To facilitate access to such housing, Program funds will be used to assist eligible applicants with housing
costs such as rent, utility costs, rent deposits and utility deposits. The amount and type of assistance will be determined based
on individual income level, and identified need. The housing subsidy will be tenant based, as it will be provided based on the
housing selected by the program participant.
- Eligible Applicants - Individuals (age 18 and older) with mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance
abuse disorders who are discharging from psychiatric inpatient care, Department of Corrections, or aging out of the foster care
system. Individuals must be either homeless or at risk of becoming homeless if rental assistance is not received. Individuals
should meet requirements for very low income and have a gross annual income at or below $16,500, however, incomes above $16,500
can be considered on a case by case basis.
- Rental Assistance (Including Utility Assistance) - The maximum amount of rental assistance to help pay
for rent and utilities is $574 per month, which is based on the Fair Market Rent amount for a 1-bedroom. Assistance is not
restricted to 1-bedroom housing units, or to units for which the total rent and utility costs do not exceed $574, however,
it is recommended that referring agencies assist participants in locating housing for which costs do not exceed the $574 maximum
(and all bills paid units when possible) to help assure affordability and success for all program participants.
- Rental assistance can be provided to individuals with no income. Rental assistance for individuals with an income
will be calculated as follows:
- First 6 Months - subsidy recipients will pay 0% of their gross monthly income toward rent and utilities,
and the remainder of the rent/utilities can be provided as rental assistance (up to the $574 maximum).
- Last 6 Months - subsidy recipients will pay 30% of their gross monthly income toward rent and utilities,
and the remainder of the rent/utilities can be provided as rental assistance (up to the $574 maximum).
- The goal of the Housing Subsidy Funds is to assist participants with transition to self-sufficiency between 9 to 12
months. Based on individual needs, the provision of subsidy beyond 12 months will be considered on a case
by case basis.
- It is expected that the all participants and outpatient services agencies will work actively together toward employment
or SSI/SSDI income, as well as on other recovery focused goals/objectives, as this is a time limited program.
- Rent & Utility Deposits - One-time assistance with rent and utility deposits may be provided to program
participants but may not exceed a total of $574.
- Referring Agencies - Referring agencies will need to complete and submit (with all required information)
the Discharge Planning Housing Subsidy Referral Form (Part 1 & Part 2) to the contracted Gatekeeping agency.
- Part 1 of the Referral form must be completed by the discharging psychiatric hospital, discharging Department of
Corrections facility, or the Department of Human Services for children aging out of the foster care system, and must be
completed and submitted prior to discharge. The Gatekeeping agency will contact the referring agency and notify if applicant
is approved to move forward with arranging for housing. Part 2 of the Referral form can either be complete by the discharging
agency and the applicant, or the discharging agency may arrange for the outpatient services agency and the applicant to
complete Part 2 of the referral. Part 2 of the referral must be received by the Gatekeeping agency within 30 days of the
Projected Discharge Date listed on Part 1 of the referral. If Part 2 of the referral is not received during that period,
Part 1 of the referral will be determined null and void, and the participant will no longer be eligible to participate in the
subsidy program. If discharge date is going to be different than what is listed on Part 1, it is the responsibility of the
referring agency to notify the Gatekeeping agency.
GATEKEEPING AGENCY REPSPONSIBILITIES

- Appendix
- ODMHSAS Transition Youth Housing Subsidy Protocol
Eligible Applicants - Individuals (ages 16 - 25) who have a mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance use for assistance with accessing and maintaining decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing. Individuals should meet requirements for very low income and have a gross annual income at or below $16,500; however, incomes above $16,500 can be considered on a case by case basis. Individuals who are under the age of 18 must either be legally emancipated or have a Guardian willing to sign a lease agreement on their behalf. If the individual has children in their legal custody at time of application, they are allowed to live with applicant in the residence paid for by subsidy funds. If an applicant requests a roommate or significant other reside with them in subsidy funded apartments, they are eligible for youth subsidy funds at 50% of the approved amount, whereas said roommate must provide the remaining balances of rent/utilities and be a signed and approved leaseholder along with applicant or otherwise meet the same qualifications to become a subsidy recipient themselves and become a leaseholder in the same residence.
Rental Assistance (Including Utility Assistance) - The maximum amount of rental assistance to help pay for rent and utilities is $601 per month, which is based on the higher range of Fair Market Rent for a 1-bedroom. Assistance is not restricted to 1-bedroom housing units, or to units for which the total rent and utility costs do not exceed $601, however, it is recommended that referring projects assist subsidy recipients in locating housing for which costs do not exceed the $601 maximum (and all bills paid units when possible) to help assure affordability and success. This amount can be amended to $762 if the applicant has a child in their custody and is needing a unit of up to 2 bedrooms or more. If unit is not all bills paid, it is recommended that referring projects assist subsidy recipients in getting on the utility averaging plans to further help assure affordability.
Rental assistance can be provided to individuals with no income. Rental assistance for individuals with an income will be calculated as follows:
First 6 Months - subsidy recipients will pay 0% of their gross monthly income toward rent and utilities, and the remainder of the rent/utilities can be provided as rental assistance (up to the $601 maximum).
Last 6 Months - subsidy recipients will pay 30% of their gross monthly income toward rent and utilities, and the remainder of the rent/utilities can be provided as rental assistance (up to the $601 maximum).
The goal of the Housing Subsidy Funds is to assist recipients with transition to self-sufficiency between 9 to 12 months. Based on individual needs, the provision of subsidy beyond 12 months will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
It is expected that the all-subsidy recipients and Program staff will work actively together toward employment or SSI/SSDI income, toward obtaining Section 8 rental assistance, and on other recovery focused goals/objectives, as this is a time limited program.
Rent & Utility Deposits - One-time assistance with rent and utility deposits may be provided to subsidy recipients but may not exceed a total of $601 or $762 in approved units of parenting youth.
Making A Referral Subsidy Rental Assistance:
All referrals must come from one of the existing Oklahoma Department of Mental Health Substance Abuse Services Contractor unless approved by the ODMHSAS Program Manager. Part 1 of the referral form must be submitted, and initial approval received from HOPE Community Services prior to moving forward to assist a person with housing. This is to ensure that people referred meet initial eligibility requirements and that the program has enough money to serve them. Once initial approval is received from HOPE, housing can be arranged and Part 2 of the referral should be submitted. If Part 2, and related documentation, is not received by HOPE within 30 days of approval of Part 1, the referral will be null and void, and an entirely new referral (Part 1 & 2) will need to be submitted.
Both parts of the referral form submitted must be complete, including all of the documentation requested:
- Proof of income or signed statement from applicant if no income (Certification of Zero Income form);
- Signed Subsidy Recipient Agreement (If the applicant is under age 18, and not legally emancipated, a Guardian is required to sign unless they have been provided a certificate of Unaccompanied Status via ODMHSAS or DHS).
- A release of information authorizing communication between HOPE Community Services and the designated Landlord, and utility companies (when utility assistance, including deposit assistance, is requested), regarding payment of bills; and
- A release of information authorizing communication between HOPE Community Services and the designated Program Agency, regarding the tenants receipt of subsidy funds.
Completed referrals should be submitted to:
- HOPE Community Services, Inc.
- Attn: Transition Youth Subsidy Program
- 6100 South Walker Ave.
- Oklahoma City, OK 73129
- (405) 634-4400
- Fax: (405) 632-1976
Please note that referral information that is not complete will be returned to the agency who submitted it for completion. If you have any questions regarding the completion of the referral, or regarding the Transition Youth Housing Subsidy program in general, please contact HOPE or Andru Dallaly at ODMHSAS.
Things To Remember:
- A copy of the signed lease agreement between tenant and landlord must be mailed or faxed to Hope Community Services by the second month for which rental assistance is needed (subsidy cannot be continued past the first month until a signed lease agreement is received).
- If the landlord does not have a lease agreement, please use the Lease Agreement form included in the referral packet.
- If rental unit is not all bills paid, it is recommended that referring projects assist subsidy recipients in getting on the utility averaging plans to further help assure affordability.
- If utility assistance is requested, utility bills must be submitted monthly by mail or fax to HOPE Community Services for payment (up to the total amount allowed for utility assistance).
- Part 1 of the referral is submitted, and approval from HOPE is required to proceed with housing assistance and the completion of Part 2 of the referral.
- Part 2 of the referral must be received by HOPE within 30 days after HOPE has approved Part 1. If not received within that timeframe, the referral will be null and void and a new referral will need to be submitted and approval from HOPE obtained.

We will work with the treatment providers in Oklahoma to engage them in the continuous quality improvement webinars sponsored by Shatterproof. We also will work with the treatment providers to understand their perspectives to inform enhancements to Shatterproofs password-protected provider portals and survey process. Shatterproof will work with the current providers to raise awareness of the Atlas Patient Experience Surveys (PES) and discuss ways that this feature may be able to support current providers in Oklahoma. If interested, the ODMHSAS may participate in the Atlas Claims Measures Work Group, which establishes a core set of claims-based measures to further differentiate the quality of care among addiction treatment providers. ODMHSAS may also choose to participate in the claims measures calculation process - the resulting data would be made available to assist the state and the constituents of Oklahoma. If interested, we welcome a discussion about implementation. Participation is voluntary.
- Platform Management & Data Collection. Shatterproof will maintain the Atlas platform, TreatmentAtlas.org. The Atlas platform displays data from the most recent Atlas TFS submissions and PES, which are collected and updated in real-time via the platform and undergo human review before publication. 2023-2024 funding will support data collection via these sources. In addition, during 2023/ 2024, the platform will continue to be enhanced based on feedback from our stakeholders. Enhancements slated for 2023 2024 include the ability to review data longitudinally and improvements to the Atlas TFS, which will allow for near real-time data submissions and updates to Atlas (to replace Open Enrolment periods).
- Password Protected Portals. The platform also includes password-protected portals available by ODMHAS, participating addiction treatment facilities, and health insurers. Within the password-protected portals, authorized users can access customized dashboards of the Atlas data to design and implement quality improvement initiatives. The Atlas measures were previously piloted by Shatterproof and were found to be reliable and valid indicators of addiction treatment quality. Throughout 2023/2024, we will receive feedback on the password-protected portals to understand how Atlas may best support treatment providers and the state with the portals.
- Marketing and Promotion. The Atlas 2023-2024 State Budget also includes allocations for Atlas marketing and promotion in Oklahoma. This work is critical to achieving the shared objective of reducing the stigma of addiction and improving access to evidence-based care for those in the state who need it. The state director team will conduct boots-on-the-ground outreach to areas of the state with limited Atlas utilization based on Google analytics. This will include engagement with many recovery organizations to raise awareness of Atlas and the consumer voice on Atlas made available through the completion of the Patient Experience Surveys.

G. PATH GPRA Measures
- The Government Performance and Results Act (GRPA), enacted in 1993, requires federal agencies to establish standards
measuring their performance and effectiveness. Below are the PATH GRPA Measures. It is recommended that each PATH site strive to
achieve the Oklahoma PATH Targets listed for each measure.
- Increase the number of homeless persons contacted
- This measure captures the number of homeless persons contacted by PATH providers. Persistent and consistent outreach
and the introduction of services at the clients pace are important steps to engaging homeless persons with serious
mental illness (SMI) and to beginning the process of linking them to housing, mental health, substance abuse, case management
and other supportive services.
- Calculation: Persons served by federal PATH funds
- Federal PATH Target: 160,000 (nationally)
- Oklahoma PATH Target 600 (Each PATH provider should target to achieve or exceed the # of persons
projected in their Intended Use Plan.)
- Increase the percentage of homeless persons with SMI who become enrolled in
services (annual and long-term)
- This measure is an indicator of the rate of enrollment for PATH-eligible individuals.
PATH enrollment is defined as:
- The individual is determined to be PATH-eligible, (i.e., experiencing Severe Mental Illness and homelessness
or imminent risk of homelessness)
- The PATH worker established engagement with the individual (the individual has agreed to work towards a
goal with the PATH worker),
- The PATH worker opened an individual file that contains:
- Demographic information,
- Documentation of PATH eligibility,
- Mutual agreement for the provision of services, and
- Services provided.
- Calculation: Number of outreach contacts who become enrolled in PATH divided by Persons served by federal PATH
funds outreach minus Number of outreach client not enrolled because ineligible
- Federal PATH Target 55%
- Oklahoma PATH Target 55%
- Increase the percentage of enrolled homeless persons who receive community
mental health services
- Calculation: Number of persons enrolled in community mental health services divided by Persons served by
federal PATH funds enrolled clients.
- Federal PATH Target 47%
- Oklahoma PATH Target- 75%
- Maintain average Federal cost of enrolling a homeless person with SMI
in services
- Calculation: Federal PATH appropriation divided by persons served by PATH
funds enrolled PATH clients.
- Federal PATH Target - $668
- Oklahoma PATH Target - $668 (Each PATH provider should strive to increase the number of individuals enrolled
in PATH beyond the number projected in their Intended Use Plan to work toward this target.)
H. Annual PATH Meeting
- All PATH funded staff will attend one yearly PATH Meeting. The location of this meeting will be rotated among each
PATH site. The purpose of the meeting will be to share information, provide updates and review of the implementation of PATH
services, and to provide a networking opportunity for Oklahoma PATH providers.
I. Prior Authorization/Billing
- The Procedure Code Group (DH520) is to be used by agencies with an ODMHSAS contract for PATH, for the provision
of designated services for all individuals served under the Federal PATH grant. It is a one-time 6-month authorization that
is requested in addition to a standard outpatient authorization, to accommodate the more intensive service need during the
first 6 months of the transitional 9-month PATH program. This is an instant authorization that will be created upon
completion of a 23, 40, or 42 CDC with a service focus of 25 (PATH) and outpatient level of care. This request is totally
separate from the standard outpatient PA request, and has a separate dollar cap. Valid CAR Scores are required, but they do
not need to support a particular level to access the PATH PA.
- When billing for services eligible under the PATH specific PA (DH520), you will use the PATH specific billing codes
that are located in the ODMHSAS Services Manual. When billing for PATH under the standard outpatient PA you will just bill the
regular outpatient codes (not the PATH specific codes). For a list of the services that can be billed under the PATH specific PA,
go to www.odmhsas.org/arc.htm click on Billing Information and then PA Group Spreadsheet.
On the summary tab, you will find the DH520 at the bottom of the page - just click on the word PATH.
- ODMHSAS Protocol for Use of Discharge Planning Housing Subsidy Funds
The goal of Discharge Planning Housing Subsidy Funds is to assist very low-income individuals (age 18 and older)
with mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse disorders who are discharging from psychiatric inpatient care,
Department of Corrections, or aging out of the foster care system, with accessing and maintaining decent, safe, sanitary, and
affordable housing. To facilitate access to such housing, Program funds will be used to assist eligible applicants with housing
costs such as rent, utility costs, rent deposits and utility deposits. The amount and type of assistance will be determined based
on individual income level, and identified need. The housing subsidy will be tenant based, as it will be provided based on the
housing selected by the program participant.
- Eligible Applicants - Individuals (age 18 and older) with mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance
abuse disorders who are discharging from psychiatric inpatient care, Department of Corrections, or aging out of the foster care
system. Individuals must be either homeless or at risk of becoming homeless if rental assistance is not received. Individuals
should meet requirements for very low income and have a gross annual income at or below $16,500, however, incomes above $16,500
can be considered on a case by case basis.
- Rental Assistance (Including Utility Assistance) - The maximum amount of rental assistance to help pay
for rent and utilities is $574 per month, which is based on the Fair Market Rent amount for a 1-bedroom. Assistance is not
restricted to 1-bedroom housing units, or to units for which the total rent and utility costs do not exceed $574, however,
it is recommended that referring agencies assist participants in locating housing for which costs do not exceed the $574 maximum
(and all bills paid units when possible) to help assure affordability and success for all program participants.
- Rental assistance can be provided to individuals with no income. Rental assistance for individuals with an income
will be calculated as follows:
- First 6 Months - subsidy recipients will pay 0% of their gross monthly income toward rent and utilities,
and the remainder of the rent/utilities can be provided as rental assistance (up to the $574 maximum).
- Last 6 Months - subsidy recipients will pay 30% of their gross monthly income toward rent and utilities,
and the remainder of the rent/utilities can be provided as rental assistance (up to the $574 maximum).
- The goal of the Housing Subsidy Funds is to assist participants with transition to self-sufficiency between 9 to 12
months. Based on individual needs, the provision of subsidy beyond 12 months will be considered on a case
by case basis.
- It is expected that the all participants and outpatient services agencies will work actively together toward employment
or SSI/SSDI income, as well as on other recovery focused goals/objectives, as this is a time limited program.
- Rent & Utility Deposits - One-time assistance with rent and utility deposits may be provided to program
participants but may not exceed a total of $574.
- Referring Agencies - Referring agencies will need to complete and submit (with all required information)
the Discharge Planning Housing Subsidy Referral Form (Part 1 & Part 2) to the contracted Gatekeeping agency.
- Part 1 of the Referral form must be completed by the discharging psychiatric hospital, discharging Department of
Corrections facility, or the Department of Human Services for children aging out of the foster care system, and must be
completed and submitted prior to discharge. The Gatekeeping agency will contact the referring agency and notify if applicant
is approved to move forward with arranging for housing. Part 2 of the Referral form can either be complete by the discharging
agency and the applicant, or the discharging agency may arrange for the outpatient services agency and the applicant to
complete Part 2 of the referral. Part 2 of the referral must be received by the Gatekeeping agency within 30 days of the
Projected Discharge Date listed on Part 1 of the referral. If Part 2 of the referral is not received during that period,
Part 1 of the referral will be determined null and void, and the participant will no longer be eligible to participate in the
subsidy program. If discharge date is going to be different than what is listed on Part 1, it is the responsibility of the
referring agency to notify the Gatekeeping agency.
GATEKEEPING AGENCY REPSPONSIBILITIES
