Specifications include, but are not limited to: FULL SERVICE PARTNERSHIP SERVICES (FSP) RUHS-BH proposes two FSP programs to TAY (16 – 25 years old) in the Mid-County (San Jacinto/Hemet, Perris, Lake Elsinore, Murrieta/Temecula and adjoining rural areas) and Desert (Beaumont to Blythe) Regions of Riverside County. These programs will provide engagement, behavioral health and substance abuse services, and on-going supports to consumers who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness, with a history of recurring stays at acute or long-term institutional treatment settings without being successfully served through a lower level of care. FSPs align with the goals of MHSA by successfully engaging and supporting consumers that will break the cycle of homelessness, institutionalization and/or incarceration. Each consumer identified as eligible for FSP services will be linked to develop an individualized service and support plan, which is consumer/family-driven, and operationalizes the five fundamental concepts identified above. PROGRAM GOALS Each individual referred by RUHS-BH for the FSP population must be offered an individualized service and support plan. The service and support plans must operationalize the five fundamental concepts identified by Riverside County’s MHSA Plan, i.e., the plans must: Reflect community collaboration in service delivery; Be culturally competent; Be consumer/family driven; Have a wellness/recovery/resiliency focus; and Provide an integrated service experience for the consumer/family. TARGET POPULATION CRITERIA Consumers aged 16-25 years old, who meet all of the following: Have a severe mental illness (SMI) that meets the medical necessity as identified by the current DSM-5 mental illness criteria.

GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF SERVICES The following are geographical locations within the County of Riverside where the facility(ies) must be located: Mid-County Region : Office location(s) must be in San Jacinto/Hemet, Perris, Lake Elsinore, Murrieta/Temecula and adjoining rural areas. The Mid-County Region serves areas east and south of March Air Reserve Base, including Perris, Lake Elsinore, Murrieta, Temecula, Hemet, San Jacinto, and all other smaller communities around these cities. The goal is to provide accessibility to as many areas in the Mid-County Region as possible. All areas within the Mid-County Region would be eligible for services through the FSP.

The Desert Region serves areas east of Moreno Valley, including all cities and small communities found between the Pass area (i.e. Beaumont and Banning) and the Arizona State line (Blythe). The goal is to provide accessibility to as many areas in the Desert Region as possible. All areas within the Desert Region would be eligible for services through the FSP. BIDDER(s) shall describe the physical location(s) (address) from which services will be provided. All service delivery sites must be Medi-Cal certified. Note that not all services provided need to be Medi-Cal reimbursable, but preference shall be given to BIDDER(s) whose proposals maximize Medi-Cal revenue while meeting the requirements of this RFP. Services may be provided at one or more locations. BIDDER(s) shall describe strategies to serve consumers who live within the geographic region, but do not live close to the proposed sites.
