Amends a contract with Mental Health Center of Denver by adding $700,000 for a new total of $3,100,000 and one year for a new end date of 12-31-22 for operation of the Crisis Intervention Response Unit, which pairs a mental health clinician with a police officer to respond to calls involving individuals with suspected mental health needs, citywide (ENVHL-202161518). The last regularly scheduled Council meeting within the 30-day review period is on 2-28-22. The Committee approved filing this item at its meeting on 1-26-22.
body
Affected Council District(s) or citywide? Citywide
Contract Control Number: ENVHL-202161518
Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”): Mental Health Center of Denver
Type and Scope of services to be performed:
At the end of 2021 the program has 27 district-specific clinicians (6 specific to nightshift), 1 jail liaison, 4 RTD clinicians, 1 fire clinician, 1 sheriff clinician, and 4 case managers. The program also has 4 managers who oversee the program and supervise staff, while also working in the field as clinicians, for a total of 42 MHCD staff working in the program.
In 2021, the CIRU served a total of 2,305 unique individuals during 2,955 encounters. Since April 2016, the CIRU has had a total of 11,131 encounters. The direct indicators of success for the CIRU are counter-factual - arrests and hospitalizations that did not happen. The CIRU has become an important support in the City and County of Denver. The CPCC recommends that the funding continue for this program, with a planned transition of the program to be funded by and managed by the Department of Public Safety over the next few years. The Commission is requesting the contract amount in 2021 to reflect actual expenditures more accurately due to some costs being offset by Medicaid reimbursements to MHCD.
