BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Santé Group is the sole community mobile crisis team (MCT) provider for Mecklenburg County residents. They operate under a fee for service contract with Alliance Health Plan. The state reimbursement model’s funding level does not allow Santé Group to implement a best practice service delivery model, nor does it allow them to be reimbursed for all the services provided due to limitations in the fee-for-service model. Santé Group has sought supplemental funding from Mecklenburg County during the FY27 budget planning process and was awarded one-time funding. If this grant is awarded, Santé Group would be able to enhance service delivery for a period of up to 4 years. This grant application may only be submitted by states or political subdivisions of states; as a result, Mecklenburg County is partnering with Santé Group to submit this grant application.
