County and Catholic Charities renew contract for supported housing agreement
CHENANGO COUNTY – The Chenango County Board of Supervisors has sealed a deal with Catholic Charities to help find shelter for people with serious mental disabilities.
A county resolution was adopted this month that authorizes renewal of a longstanding supported housing services contract with Catholic Charities to provide assistance for individuals with mental debilitations in finding and securing generic housing.
The $246,000 contract, renewed annually between Chenango County Mental Hygiene Services and Catholic Charities, allows the two agencies to work collaboratively to help residents with mental disabilities choose housing, roommates and furniture, and offers financial assistance to pay the ongoing costs. What’s more, the agreement ensures a support system of case management, mental health, rehabilitation, respite, as well as social, employment and health supports by utilizing the professional staff and resources available through Catholic Charities.
Mental Hygiene Services says that funds for such programs have become increasingly important in recent years, especially as state-run facilities have moved people with mild mental disabilities out of institution and into the community.
County officials are using $84,830 in state aid for mental health to help offset some expenses outlined in the contract.
Supported housing service agreements between Catholic Charities and Chenango Mental Hygiene Services have been renewed every year since 1990. Catholic Charities further maintains a similar contract with New York State for individuals with a mental illness.
Terms of the current agreement between Chenango County Mental Hygiene Services and Catholic Charities expire at the end of the year.
