Further, NVBH as housing operator, will be responsible for ensuring both houses are appropriately stocked with food, activity supplies, housekeeping and office supplies, and hygiene supplies.

These services aim to restore, maintain, or improve personal independence and functioning consistent with requirements for learning and development. Services are patterned upon evidence-based or best practice-based models of treatment incorporating principles of “recovery” from symptoms of mental illness and are provided in a less restrictive environment, allowing consumers to receive appropriate level of services. This also allows the County to achieve cost saving by reducing placements in other higher level/higher cost placements. HHSA is requesting approval of this Agreement in order for North Valley Behavioral Health to provide these vital services to vulnerable HHSA consumers.
