We want to update you about the planning that is underway for regional
behavioral health crisis centers. The 2018
legislature appropriated $28.1 million in bond proceeds to the Department of
Human Services to establish these regional centers.
Projects will be selected
through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The Department of Human Services
expects to publish the RFP in early fall 2018 and the RFP will remain open for
90 days, during which time a responders conference will be held and DHS will
publish an FAQ list.
Under the requirements
established by the legislature, applicants will be required to demonstrate a
need for the proposed project, the capacity to sustain the program, and
willingness to build on and integrate with the existing service continuum in
the area they intend to serve. Projects will be required to provide, at a
minimum, screening, assessment, and evaluation.
Eligible applicants include
cities, counties, housing and redevelopment authorities, publicly owned
hospitals, or other public entities otherwise eligible to receive state general
obligation bond proceeds. Public ownership of land or a building can be assured
through existing public ownership, purchase, or long term lease. For more
information please see the checklists
for Leases and Use Agreements on the Minnesota Management and Budget
(MMB) website.
The RFP will allow for funding
to be requested for pre-design, design, construction dollars, or a combination
for the regional behavioral health crisis centers. If you are interested
in applying to the RFP in the fall please review the MMB website
and MMB’s Capitol
Grants Manual to learn more about bonding projects. If you have
any questions, about the RFP process or the bonding requirements please contact
hali.kolkind@state.mn.us.
