Long term sources /strategies for sustaining the service /project past the 2011 grant year: Eagle County approached Colorado West many years ago asking the mental health center to expand the scope of Emergency Services beyond what was being provided at that time. Colorado West Regional Mental Health Center receives a capitated grant from Medicaid to provide services to the Medicaid population. A small portion of these funds are allocated to our Emergency Services programs. Eagle County receives the least amount of these funds which are distributed across a ten - county area. This distribution is based on the number of Medicaid- eligible residents in each county. As budget cuts continue at the state and federal levels, the amount of funding continues to decrease for mental health services. Without the grant from Eagle County, Colorado West would have to reduce the scope of Emergency Services to the Medicaid population as well as current clients. Emergency Services is a necessary and valuable service to our community. However, it is not a service ._ K lI revenue aed back to the health din ,_ .

B. Other community partnerships and local /regional funding sources your organization will utilize toward this service /program? CWMH applies for local grants, such as United Way, Vail Valley Cares, Vail Valley Motorcycle Foundation, etc. CWRMHC, as a ten - county area, applies for larger grants through foundations and state grants. However, if awarded, these funds are not specified for Emergency Services. C. What other government funding (either from Eagle County or other counties /towns) are you receiving for this project? No other government funding for this particular project. D. How many times has Community Service Grant funding Y Y d ng been awarded to your organization and how many times for this specific project? Year: 2010 and before Amount: $40,000 Funding for Emergency Services via the Eagle County Community Service Grant has been awarded for a number of years (unknown). Years ago, Eagle County and CWRMHC entered into an agreement for Emergency Services to be provided outside the scope of requirements for CWRMHC. Eagle County government asked CWRMHC to provide this service to the jails, schools, other locations, and to unattached DHHS clients. At the time, the grant process was the preferred route of funding.
