(1)

The Improving People’s Access to Community-based Treatment, Supports and Services Program is established in recognition of the shortage of comprehensive community supports and services for individuals with mental health or substance use disorders, leading to their involvement with the criminal justice system, hospitalizations and institutional placements. The purpose of the program is to address this need by awarding grants to counties and Oregon’s federally recognized Indian tribes to establish evidence-based and tribal-based programs to provide the needed supports and services.

(2)

The Improving People’s Access to Community-based Treatment, Supports and Services Grant Review Committee established in ORS 430.234 (Improving People’s Access to Community-based Treatment, Supports and Services Grant Review Committee established) shall adopt rules for administering the program, including rules:

(b)

Technical assistance to grantees for troubleshooting data collection requirements and sharing information with third parties as necessary for carrying out the programs;

(c)

Statewide training, provided in-person and remotely, for grantees and nongrantees, focused on improving outcomes for the target population;

(d)

Making resources available to district attorneys and defense attorneys for consultation on cases involving defendants with complex behavioral health issues;

(e)

Developing or strengthening a centralized system to make available to communities practitioners in professional specialties for which there is a shortage, including practitioners of addiction medicine and psychiatry; and
