Contract Control Number: ENVHL-202056133
Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”): Mental Health Center of Denver
Type and Scope of services to be performed:
The City & County of Denver (“the City”) is committed to establishing a comprehensive system to better address people who are experiencing substance abuse and/or behavioral health crises, hereafter “behavioral health crises,” particularly homeless individuals. The City is also committed to enhancing access to the State of Colorado’s Behavioral Health Crisis Response System, which seeks to establish a comprehensive, easily accessible and integrated system. By improving the methods in which first responders interact with people experiencing behavioral health crises and by creating more appropriate alternatives to utilization of emergency rooms and jail, the City can reduce tax payer costs, provide individuals with the appropriate services needed for short-term stabilization, and connect individuals to long-term solutions. The City has identified a property (“the Property”) to serve as a Behavioral Health Solutions Center (“the Center”) which will be a location for diversion, stabilization, and step-down housing services for individuals experiencing behavioral health crises. The City is intending to contract with the Mental Health Center of Denver (“MHCD”) to: (1) operate necessary services at the Property, (2) provide housing accommodations, (3) develop the partnerships required to productively connect the clients of the Center with additional treatment and housing options, and (4) work with the City to develop a diversion model for first responders, including any law enforcement, fire department/EMT units, designated mental health professionals, and hospital emergency department’s social workers. The awarded vendor will also be required to work proactively with the Sun Valley Community Coalition (“SVCC”) to maintain a positive relationship.
