B. PROJECT NARRATIVE
1. Statement of the Problem: The geographic area to be served by the proposed
project consists of the Florida Keys in Monroe County, Florida. The Florida Keys are a
130 mile long string of rural islands or "Keys" located off the southern portion of the
Florida peninsula. They begin to the north with Key Largo, of James Bond and
Humphrey Bogart fame, and site of the film of the same name, and end to the south
with Key West, home of Ernest Hemingway, Jimmy Buffett, and the Truman Little White
House. In between are the municipalities of Islamorada, Marathon, and a host of other
communities known only by the names of the Keys on which they are located. Together,
the Florida Keys are home to just about all of the 80,537 residents of Monroe County,
as the only part of Monroe County not in the Florida Keys consists of inland waterways
and everglades, home to alligators, crocodiles, snakes, fish, birds and other wildlife, but
few, if any, humans.
The median age of the residents in the Florida Keys is 42.6, with 46.8% female and
53.2% male. By race, 90.7% are White, 4.8% are Black, and 4.5% are Other. Latino or
Hispanics of any race comprise 15.8% of the population. A language other than English
is spoken in 21.4% of the homes.
The major industry is tourism, with just about everything else being in support of it.
The per capita income is $35,423. The Price Level Index is 109.63, while the Florida
State Average is 100, making it the most expensive place in the State of Florida to live.
While many affluent visitors have luxurious vacation homes in the Florida Keys,
affordable housing is a significant problem for many of the year round -residents. The
Keys have limited habitable areas and little or no room for expansion. Not only is this
creating economic stress in working class residents, but it also is rapidly shrinking the
pool of available service workers.
Within this unique geographic community, substance abuse, mental health disorders,
and crime make it a necessity to develop a strategic plan to initiate systemic change for
the identification and treatment of adults and juveniles who have a mental illness,
substance abuse disorder, or co-occurring substance abuse and mental health
disorders, and who are in, or at risk of entering the criminal and/or juvenile justice
systems. An examination of the population of the jail and juvenile detention center (see
sub -section b. below), and related risk factors in Monroe County (Risk Factors) (see
sub -sections c. and d. below), emphasize this need even further. Therefore, the adults
and juveniles described above in this paragraph are the target population and the area
to be served is the Florida Keys in Monroe County. This target population of adults and
juveniles requires the diversion services so that they do not go to or return to jail or a
juvenile detention center as a result of their substance abuse and/or mental health
disorders, and the Risk Factors confronting them. As the Risk Factors are prevalent
throughout the Florida Keys in Monroe County, the entire Florida Keys is the geographic
area to be served.
a. The screening and assessment process that the County uses to identity an adult
and/or juvenile who has a mental illness, substance abuse disorder or co-occurring
mental health and substance abuse disorders includes the following:
(i) Adults are identified through self -referral, referrals from the criminal justice
system (courts, law enforcement, detention center), hospitals and receiving facilities,
employers, and the community -based care program for dependency children. By far, the
largest number of adults is referred through the criminal justice system.
(ii) Juveniles are identified through parents, schools, law enforcement, and the
Juvenile Justice System. The Department of Juvenile Justice utilizes the Positive
4
Achievement Change Tool (PACT), a validated assessment tool designed to identify
criminogentic needs for those youth most at risk to re -offend, while also focusing on
protective factors, assists to identify if a youth is in need of further mental health, alcohol
or substance abuse assessment. A more detailed PACT is given to youth who score at
moderate -high to re -offend on the PACT pre-screen.
Once adults and juveniles are identified, they are generally referred to the substance
abuse and mental health treatment providers for the screening and assessment
process. The primary, state funded substance abuse and mental health programs in
Monroe County are: The Care Center for Mental Health, located in the Lower and Upper
Keys, and the Guidance Clinic of the Middle Keys. Both providers have staff within the
school system.
For many years the Care Center for Mental Health has provided mental health
counseling services in the jail through a contract with Prison Health Services. The Care
Center has also operated an in-house program in the Monroe County Detention Center
to provide substance abuse treatment. The success of this intensive 6 month substance
abuse treatment program is demonstrated in its decreased recidivism rate, which is
30%, compared to the jail's general population recidivism rate which is 70%. In addition,
in the spring of 2007, the Care Center initiated pre-release Jail Diversion counseling
and case management services, in the Detention Center. The Care Center also
provides substance abuse and mental health intervention services to the Juvenile
Justice Detention Center program.
The Guidance Clinic of the Middle Keys operates a Crisis Stabilization and
Detoxification unit, and provides psychosocial rehabilitation services in a consumer -run
clubhouse environment and operates a Drop in Center at the same location. The Clinic
provides Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Abuse services, and Substance
abuse intervention and prevention services in the schools.
The State and County also fund the 16"' Judicial Circuit's Drug Court Program, which
serves adults, juveniles, and families involved in dependency cases in all three court
locations in Monroe County.
b. Those persons who are admitted to the jail and/or juvenile detention center who
have a mental illness, substance abuse disorder, or co-occurring substance abuse and
mental health disorders are as follows:
(i) In regard to the Monroe County Detention Center, according to a 2007
collaborative survey conducted by Florida Partners in Crisis (a criminal
justice/behavioral health care advocacy organization), the Florida Mental Health
Institute, and the Council of State Governments Justice Center, based on an average
daily census, approximately 20% or the inmates have a mental health illness, and
between 50% and 75% of the inmates have a substance abuse disorder.
(ii) Within the Monroe Regional Detention Center, during FY 2006-2007, of the
youth admitted, 48.27% received a dual diagnosis of mental health and substance
abuse disorders. PACT data in Monroe County from August 2007 indicates 56% used
alcohol, 15% have a problem with alcohol, 67% used drugs, 31 % have a problem with
drugs, and 16% have a mental health problem, all of which are higher percentages than
those found statewide.
c. There are a variety of risk factors that affect population trends in the jail and/or
juvenile detention center. Among them is the uniqueness of the Florida Keys, with its
local culture that promotes the excess consumption of alcohol and an abandonment of
many social constraints on behavior. This attitude is manifest not only in drinking
establishments, but also serves as a draw to new residents who view substance abuse
5
as a desirable lifestyle. The worse the drinking and drug abuse, the more the need for
substance abuse and mental health services as a diversion from jail
Another major risk factor is the effect of hurricanes on the residents. Monroe County
has been hit hard in recent years, with 4 hurricanes crossing the region in 2005. Since
that time there has been more than a 40% increase in the number of people seeking
help at 12-step programs.
The direct correlation between hurricane the survival experience and post traumatic
stress is very well documented in numerous scientific studies, as is acute stress
disorder. Stress relating from being displaced from homes and/or schools; participating
in rescue and recovery efforts; sustaining severe damage or destruction of homes; lost
employment; physical injury; and/or loss or re -location of immediate family members, all
cause a significant increase in the need for and utilization of substance abuse and
mental health treatment services as a diversion from jail.
In addition, while Monroe County does have Drug Courts for adults and juveniles, it
does not have any Mental Health Courts for adults or juveniles, nor does it have any
specialized mental health dockets. This puts the target population at further risk of
ending up in a jail because those who are convicted and who suffer from mental health
illnesses have no place to end up in, other than jail.
Collectively, the above risk factors are a major cause of Monroe County having the
dubious distinction of having the State's highest rate of alcohol related motor vehicle
accidents, highest rate of adult binge drinking, and highest rate of underage drinking.
Additionally, there has been a substantial increase in the rate of domestic violence, and
in the past 2 years, a 30% increase in the number of incarcerations in the Detention
Center.
d. PACT data for August 2007 reveals a whole host of factors that can put the at -risk
juvenile target population at risk of entering or re-entering the juvenile justice system.
Among them are: use of alcohol — 56%, have a problem with alcohol - 15%, use of
drugs — 67%, have a problem with drugs - 31 %, physical abuse - 15%, have a mental
health problem — 16%, traumatic event — 18%, inadequate parental supervision — 61 %,
anti -social peers - 81%, crime due to impulse — 33%, and crime due to peers — 28%.
With respect to adults, the factors mentioned above (uniqueness of Keys culture that
promotes excess consumption of alcohol and abandonment of many social constraints
on behavior; correlation between hurricanes and post traumatic stress and acute stress
disorder; and lack of mental health courts or special mental health dockets) can put the
adults at- risk of entering or re-entering the criminal justice system.
2. Prolect Design and Implementation: Monroe County wants and needs to
implement a diversion program so that it ultimately can increase public safety, avert
increased spending on criminal and juvenile justice, and improve accessibility and
effectiveness of treatment services for adults and juveniles who have a mental illness,
substance abuse disorder, or co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse
disorders and who are in, or at risk of entering, the criminal or juvenile justice system.
However, to accomplish these goals and objectives, the County must first have a
strategic plan to initiate systemic change for the identification and treatment of these
populations. It is the purpose of this grant application to obtain funding to develop such
a plan.
To start the application process, Monroe County has established The Monroe
County Criminal Justice, Mental Health and Substance Abuse Planning Council
(Council) and approved the planning grant application process. To date, the Council
6
includes 23 members as follows: State Attorney, Public Defenders, Circuit Court Judge,
County Judge, Chief Corrections Officer, County Sheriff, Key West Police Department,
State Probation Official, Local Court Administrator, Monroe County Commissioners,
County Probation Official, Director Substance Abuse Center (Guidance Clinic of the
Middle Keys), Director Mental Health Center (Care Center for Mental Health), Mental
Health Services Provider, Department of Children and Families (DCF) Substance
Abuse/Mental Health Representative, DCF Mental Health Services Representative,
DCF Substance Abuse Services Representative, DCF Substance Abuse/Mental Health
Family Representative, Supportive Housing Representative, Homeless Program
Representative, Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) Detention Director, DJJ Chief
Probation Officer. This Council has had two meetings to discuss, prepare, and approve
this application. The Council's four committees (Strategic Planning, Grant Writing,
Budget, and Community Collaboration) have met for a total of 15 times for such
purpose. If this application for funding for the planning process is approved, it is the
intention of the Council to meet not less than 12 times during the planning process and
for its committees to meet for a total of not less than 24 times during the planning
process.
As a central feature of the formally developed partnership network, the various
collaborating agencies will contribute skilled technical staff to serve as "Internal
Consultants" to the partnership network. This Internal Consultant pool will provide as
needed technical advice and input to the various member agencies. For example, if the
homeless support organization needs advice on legal concerns, an Internal Consultant
from the Sheriff's Office will provide the needed assistance.
The strategic plan for which we are seeking funding to develop will have to
incorporate numerous steps and procedures to be effective. It will have to enable the
diversion program to keep people out of jail who do not belong there, provide
constitutionally adequate services, and link people to services to prevent them from
coming back to the criminal or juvenile justice system because of substance abuse and
mental illness. Ultimately, the diversion program must avoid or radically reduce jail time,
reduce recidivism, reduce violence, and reduce costs by using community -based
treatment as an alternative. It also must be able to operate quickly. If it takes too long to
be applied, then it may not really be a diversion program after all.
To develop such a strategic plan, Monroe County will need to follow certain steps,
ask many questions, and obtain many answers. The planning process will have to
include a needs and resource assessment, establish additional collaborations and
partnerships to provide for inter -agency coordination and communication, expand
existing professional, consumer, and family support systems, review various screenings
and assessments, study jail -court processes and procedures, identify a target
population, determine program capacity and options, review information sharing
policies, set outcomes and accountability measures, agree on reporting methodology,
and start measuring and reporting procedures.
Monroe County will have to make a decision while developing its strategic plan as to
which location or locations on the Sequential Intercept Model it wants to divert its target
population, i.e., during the law enforcement/emergency services phase, initial
detention/initial hearing phase, jail/court phase, re-entry phase, and/or community
corrections/community support phase. Additionally, the plan must provide for local
agreements on how to define, identify, classify, and track people with substance abuse
and metal health disorders.
7
In the plan, the target population will have to be identified and criteria will have to be
established to determine who within the target population will be eligible for diversion.
These criteria will need to be well defined and encompass both clinical and criminal
aspects. Screening and assessment processes will need to be developed to flag the
target population and allow these eligibility determinations to be made. In this regard,
provision must be made for the use of computer systems.
The protocols to be developed to connect the target population to the diversion
program need to be able to identify potential candidates for the program. Measures
must be in place so that information will be able to be transmitted to key court officials
and then routinely provided to community service providers.
The plan must indicate the type of services to which the target population is to be
diverted. In addition to substance abuse and mental health services, those services to
be considered in the planning process will include life skills training, peer support,
housing placement, vocational training, job placement, and health care. The plan also
will indicate that services should be moved toward the use of evidenced -based
practices, whenever possible.
The plan must provide for a formal board or committee to be in place to address the
issues involved in a diversion program. It also must provide for the buy -in and
acceptance by the County's leadership,
For the diversion program to be effective, the strategic plan also must include the
means to measure the diversion program's progress. It must consider the various goals
and objectives to be fulfilled by the diversion program itself as well as by the individual
service providers to which the diversion takes place. The strategic plan has to include
procedures to organize records, both paper and electronic, and have staff available to
implement the measuring/accountability aspects of the program.
To continue the diversion program beyond initial state funding, the strategic plan will
have to include provisions for identifying resources to support and sustain the diversion
program after the state funding ends. The plan also will have to identify and address
any policy, legal, social or other barriers that may possibly develop during the course of
the operation of the diversion program.
The planning process itself will be structured to include all of the necessary
partners, including government entities, as well as private provider organizations, other
key stakeholders, and consumers of the services. The latter group will be especially
important as it will be able to provide the perspective from the service recipient's side of
the program. Memoranda of Understanding will be provided for in the strategic plan so
as to help insure the smooth working relationships among the participating agencies.
Regularly scheduled planning meetings and reporting requirements will be included in
the planning process to keep all participants aware of planning developments and
progress. When necessary, the planning process will provide for self -evaluation and
restructuring so that the process will always operate at the most effective level. The
strategic plan also will consider expanding the number of partners for the diversion
program. In this regard, organizations listed in the "Florida Keys Family Resource
Book," among others, will be considered.
In the planning process, the County also will have to be aware of and avoid certain
pitfalls. It cannot afford to leave out key people during the planning phase; have vague
criteria for the target population; overestimate the size of the target group; set overly
ambitious goals, or over -rely on assertive community treatment.
8
To help ensure that the entire planning process proceeds in a timely and orderly
fashion, a timeline has been developed, a copy of which is included with this
application.
Monroe County is committed to using the strategic planning process to develop a
product that has intrinsic value with or without the award of a follow-on implementation
grant. The organizational structure and processes that will result from the formation of
the collaborative network and internal consultant pool will serve the County well in all of
its future endeavors related to criminal justice, mental illness, and substance abuse.
This organizational framework and the detailed strategy mapped out through the written
strategic plan will provide the foundation of all future efforts in these areas.
3. Capability and Experience: The collaborative structure for this planning grant
actually began some 7 years ago, long before we knew that we would be submitting this
application. Beginning in 2000, the Monroe County Detention Center convened a group
of community stakeholders including the Sheriff's Department, Key West Police
Department, Department of Juvenile Justice, a County representative, the Courts, State
Attorney's Office, Public Defender's Office, Detention Center staff including Prison
Health Services, Monroe County Pretrial Services Program, substance abuse and
mental health treatment providers, Baker Act receiving facility representatives, and
psychiatrists, to address the issue of jail suicide prevention.
As this Task Force has continued to meet to address substance abuse and mental
health related problems of inmates, a passion and vision has developed for programs
that could assist individuals experiencing substance abuse, mental health disorders,
and co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders within the jail, including
pre — incarceration and post -incarceration. The group researched jail diversion
programs existing in other parts of Florida, and across the country. A representative of
the Florida Mental Health Institute was invited to come and speak to the Task Force and
other community representatives.
When the opportunity for funding through the Reinvestment Grant became available,
the Task Force immediately contacted the Monroe County Board of Commissioners,
requesting official designation as the Monroe County Criminal Justice, Mental Health
and Substance Abuse Planning Council. Additional members were added, including
representatives of Homeless Programs, Supportive Housing Programs, Consumers and
family members of consumers, thus creating the Monroe County Criminal Justice,
Mental Health and Substance Abuse Planning Council, the full membership of which is
described above in this application.
Despite the unusual structure of the Florida Keys, and due to the tremendous lack of
resources, Monroe County stakeholders function as a small community, in that the
government and private organization representatives work very closely to maximize the
impact and effectiveness of services. In this manner, the County has been very
successful through collaborative working group structures, such as the Community
Alliance, which serves the Community -based Care System for Dependency Children,
the Southernmost Homeless Assistance League, and the Interagency Council.
In a community this size, it is a necessity to function under an "All for One" and "One
for All" philosophy, as agencies work inter -dependently in seeking external support for
local programs. The stakeholders from Monroe County have learned to problem -solve
together and support each other in order for the greater good to be served. In addition,
with the recent emphasis on the addition of consumer involvement in the planning,
development and implementation of services for substance abuse and mental health
9
treatment programs, Monroe County providers have already established relationships
with consumers and family members, which facilitated the inclusion of this population in
the planning process for this grant. Furthermore, as described above in this application,
The Council is developing a pool of skilled "Internal Consultants" to provide technical
advice and support to the various member agencies.
As a result of the above described 7 years of successful community cooperation, we
believe that the resulting collaborative structure that exists in the form of the Council
provides Monroe County with the capability and experience that is needed to meet all of
the goals and objectives detailed in the application materials for this planning grant.
Within our collaborative structure, consumers will provide us with an inside view of
what works for them, what does not work for them, and how they best believe that the
diversion program can be of assistance to them, as they put their lives back on track to
lead a productive existence.
Advocates for the target population will help to insure that the diversion program
works for its consumers. They will be there to assist their clients to obtain the services
they need and to make sure that the services are provided in a timely, efficient, and
professional manner.
Family members will receive guidance to help their loved ones return to and maintain
a healthy lifestyle. In this manner, they will be able to be there on a day-to-day basis for
their loved ones.
Key activities to develop a strategic plan include Council meetings, committee
meetings, preparation of progress reports, implementation of needs and resource
assessment, establishment of additional collaborations and partnerships to provide for
inter -agency coordination and communication, expansion of existing professional,
consumer, and family support systems, review of various screenings and assessments,
study of jail -court processes and procedures, identification of a target population,
determination of program capacity and options, review of information sharing policies,
setting of outcomes and accountability measures, agreement on reporting methodology,
and start of measuring and reporting procedures. The milestones are the completion of
each of the above described key activities, with the ultimate milestone being the
completion of the strategic plan.

4. Evaluation and Sustainability a. Evaluation: This project will consist of both
process and outcome evaluation. To assist in fulfilling the intent of the legislation in
CS/CS/HB 1477, F.S., the applicant will provide data that measures the results of this
initiative and will address outcome data related to the pre -established core set of
performance measures for the planning grant, as well as program specific outcomes.
The evaluation will focus on determining the effectiveness of the initiative in meeting its
overall goals. It also will assist in identifying barriers that may be preventing the
11
achievement of goals and in developing performance improvement activities to reduce
these barriers. The Evaluation Plan for this initiative is presented below:

In addition, this project will assess involvement and perception of the stakeholders to
determine stakeholder support and potential need to change processes. Key
stakeholders involved in the initiative will complete the Community Key Leader Survey
to determine satisfaction with as well as the effective development and operation of the
strategic planning process. Key Leaders will complete the survey quarterly. This
measure will reflect the perception of those involved concerning their ability to
participate, role each individual played in the process, productivity of the process and
other aspects that will assist the project to evaluate the overall process and
performance of the process.

met.
b. Sustainabilitw Although this is a one year planning grant and Monroe County has
every expectation that the planning process will be completed successfully within the
one year grant period, there are, nevertheless, other important sustainability issues in
connection with this project. As indicated above in this application, Monroe County has
been deeply involved with mental health and substance abuse issues in the past, from
its Task Force to address jail suicide prevention, started 7 years ago, to its creation of
the Council in August of this year. Monroe County will continue to be involved with such
mental health and substance abuse issues in the years ahead through the Council and
other collaborative working structures mentioned above in this application, such as the
Task Force, Community Alliance, and Interagency Council.
Furthermore, although Monroe County is burdened with exceptionally high levels of
substance abuse problems and a disproportionate share of mental illness in relation to
population, it is at the same time blessed with a vital business community and a high
share of very wealthy citizens. In its effort to assure sustainability of the Strategic Plan
and of any follow-on implementation efforts, the final stages of the planning process will
involve the development of a public relations/educational program that will be delivered
to business groups and neighborhood organizations. These presentations will be
oriented towards increasing public understanding of the problem and towards
encouraging private sector investments in program sustainability by demonstrating the
benefits of this program in improving overall quality of life and in maintaining property
values.
With implementation of the jail diversion program the County should experience a
corollary decrease in criminal justice system expenses. The Council is committed to
assuring that any savings resulting from this program will be reinvested in funding the
intercept alternatives.

In -Kind Match
The in -kind match amount shown on the signature page and the budget page is under-
stated, due to the fact that we received a few commitments after those pages were printed
and signed. A local attorney has offered his services, up to about $16,000.00, and a staff
member of Westcare is contributing $7,000.00 in time instead of $2,000.00, as counted in the
budget. Therefore, match commitment forms will add up to more than the budget shown.

Dear Major Taylor:
It is Anchors Aweigh Club, inc.'s privilege to support Monroe County's planning
grant for the Criminal justice, Mental Health and Substance Abuse Reinvestment
Grant Program.
Since 1983, Anchors Aweigh has provided a haven for meetings of Alcoholics
Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and other 12-step groups that individuals
can attend at no cost.
Over the years, Anchors Aweigh has participated/cooperated with court -
mandated attendees by being a place they can fulfill their obligations 365 days
a year, 15 hours a day. Anchors Aweigh has served recovering individuals (like
myself) who are entering/reentering the workforce and becoming responsible
and productive citizens of the community.
It's clear by the 30 percent increase in incarcerations in the three Monroe
County Detention Centers since 2005, something needs to be done. To that
end, members of Anchors Aweigh are currently working on this planning council
to lend our knowledge to this initiative.

RE: Support for Criminal Justice et Mental Health
Reinvestment Grant
Dear Major Taylor:
I am writing to show my support for Monroe County's Criminal Justice and Mental
Health Reinvestment Grant application. The purpose of the initial grant application is
to produce a comprehensive plan to help keep adults and juveniles with mental illness
and/or substance abuse disorders out of jail, and in effective treatment programs. As
you know, some of our citizens have problems in accessing services that address their
mental health and substance abuse problems, and many families and community
members become frustrated when the legal system appears to be a revolving door, with
the only exit for the mentally III being to the streets and homelessness.
Thank you for your leadership In the effort to Increase public safety, minimize costs to
the criminal justice system, and Improve accessibility and effectiveness of treatment
services for our citizens who suffer from mental illness or substance abuse. By diverting
these people from our jail and into treatment, we will be able to Improve their quality
of life and strengthen our community.

It is my pleasure to write this letter of support of the efforts of the Monroe County
Criminal Justice, Mental Health and Substance Abuse Planning Council in
securing a grant to address and provide the service needs of mental health and
substance abuse issues in the criminal justice system.
I have been the Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Keys for 5
years and have witnessed both the short term and long term impact this population
has on the children who attend our programs. Many of these individuals are
homeless and frequent the public parks that we use for our programs. Children in
our program are often exposed to inappropriate behavior and language by this
population. Many children are frightened by them and will often not want to use a
public restroom due to fear. Police intervention is short term, since their offenses
are often minor crimes and they return to the parks in a day or two. From my
observation the majorities of these adults are not the so called "working
homeless" but rather appear to be chronically mentally ill and/or substance
abusers.
In addition to this population, we have observed an increase in the number of
families, whose children attend the Boys and Girls Club, which have been
impacted by domestic violence, neglect and parental arrests and/or incarceration
over the last few years. Often these behaviors are a direct result of alcohol related
issues and behaviors.
As a prevention agency it is are task to provide programs that are designed to
educate children about the negative effects of alcohol and drugs, which will assist
them in making sound decisions as teenagers and young adults. However, it is a
difficult task when these same children are being consistently exposed to a culture
that promotes drinking and the excess consumption of alcohol. Often these
children are placed in a situations where they have to decide which message to
believe, ours or that of the adult role models and culture that surrounds them.
The POS%t%Ve Place For Kids 0 A United Way Ag"
Hopefully, through your efforts you will be able to raise public awareness
surround this very complex issue and obtain additional funding to secure services
for the chronically homeless who are dually diagnosis as being mentally ill and
substance abusers. Good luck with your efforts.

The Monroe County Health Department supports the application for a planning grant in Monroe
County to reduce the numbers of adults and juveniles with substance abuse and mental
illnesses from entering the criminal justice system.
We agree with the Criminal Justice, Mental Health and Substance Abuse Planning Council's
initiative of:
1) Collaboration among mental health, criminal justice and other systems involved in the
lives of people with mental illnesses.
2) Increase the availability in Monroe County of mental health services and treatment.
3) Improve understanding on the part of law enforcement, corrections, courts, parole,
probation personnel and others about mental illnesses and how to respond to people
with these illnesses.
Persons with mental illnesses are a risk group that without intervention end up in the criminal
justice system the purposed planning grant will start the process to address this need in
Monroe County.

The Florida Keys Outreach Coalition, Inc. (FKOC), is a grass roots 501(c)(3) agency incorporated
in 1992, whose mission is to serve the homeless and address the underlying causes of
homelessness. The FKOC further seeks to provide homeless individuals with the resources and
opportunities necessary to attain residential, financial and personal stability and self-sufficiency.
FKOC residential programs consist of five facilities that provide transitional housing for homeless
men, single women and single women with children. The vast majority of our residential clients
are in recovery from alcohol/substance abuse and some mental health illnesses.
A comprehensive recovery and planning process, designed to promote a more cohesive
unification of provider services, is the key essential ingredient to successful transformation and
community reintegration of individuals living with mental health disorders. Only through this level
of partnership can we reach our goal of promoting understanding, engagement and support
throughout Monroe County.
Therefore, I enthusiastically endorse the development and implementation of the Criminal Justice,
Mental Health and Substance Abuse Planning grant process as a strategic and collaboratively
proactive approach to comprehensive outreach.
Very truly yours,

Re: Jail Diversion Planning Grant for Monroe County
To Whom It May Concern:
At our meeting of October 25, 2007, Dr. Michael Funk of the Care Center for Mental
Health presented information regarding a grant application being submitted by Monroe
County for a planning grant for a Jail Diversion program.
The Village Council of Islamorada, Village of Islands voiced unanimous support for
Monroe County's efforts to divert mentally ill individuals from the criminal justice
system to the mental health system. We agree that the implementation of a jail diversion
program would reduce costs for incarceration as well as provide more appropriate
services to the mentally ill.
The Village Council appreciates your consideration of this grant application.
Sincerely,
Mayor

I wholeheartedly support Monroe County's Criminal Justice, Mental Health and
Substance Abuse Planning council in its application for a jail diversion planning grant.
Monroe County has an exceptionally large population of homeless individuals who come
to our county for its warm weather and laid back atmosphere. Unfortunately, many of
these individuals may suffer from mental health problems and substance abuse issues.
These individuals congregate on street comers and under bridges. They are at a
minimum a nuisance and often times a danger to private citizens and property in our
county. A consequence of this is that these individuals are arrested for minor crimes and
reside in our county jail until the resolution of their case. These individuals need
treatment for their mental health issues so that they can become productive members of
our community.
I support the establishment of a Mental Health Diversion Court in Monroe County so that
our county jail can be used to house criminals and not as a way station for the mentally
ill. Please reward the efforts of the Criminal Justice, Mental Health and Substance Abuse
Council by funding their planning grant application.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

To Whom It May Concern:
As CEO of Mariners Hospital, Inc., I wholeheartedly support your consideration of a
request by Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (hereinafter referred to as
"Monroe County") for a funding grant to provide a jail diversion program in Monroe
County, Florida.
Monroe County would like to use the planning grant and subsequent implementation
grant to establish a program for mentally ill and addicted individuals who are sent to its
correctional facilities. There is a definite need for a jail diversion program as there are
no similar programs in place and no other local resources available. In addition, state
hospitals do not have the capacity to accommodate these individuals.
By establishing this program, Monroe County proposes to provide mentally ill and
addicted individuals with housing and jobs. This assistance will help them become
productive members of our community. Another benefit of this program would be that
these individuals can lead healthier lives resulting in less usage of the emergency
departments at the area hospitals.
We thank you in advance for our consideration of the request by Monroe County for the
betterment of the mentally ill and addicted members of our community.

RE: Letter of Support
Criminal Justice and Mental Health Reinvestment Grant
Dear Major Taylor:
As a County Commissioner and Board Member of DJ.J. and the Monroe County Alliance Board, I am writing this letter of
support for the above.
Without question, we must create a comprehensive plan to help keep adults and juveniles with mental illness and/or substance
abuse disorders in treatment programs which will keep them out of jail. We all have seen the frustration of families and our
communities when the legal system does not work. Pushing the mentally ill into the sheets, because of the lack of services, is not
the answer.
Thank you for taking the lead in the effort to increase public safety, for improving accessibility and effectiveness of treatment for
our citizens who suffer from substance abuse or mental illness. Your work to provide treatment will divert these people from
incarceration and will improve their quality of life, which indirectly will strengthen our community.

Dear Sir:
I am pleased to write this letter is support of the Monroe County Criminal Justice Mental
Health and Substance Abuse Planning Council's application for a planning grant to help
develop, write and submit a strategic plan to initiate systematic change for identification
and treatment of adults and juveniles who have a mental illness, substance abuse
disorder or co-occurring disorders and who are at risk of entering the criminal justice
system.
Too often children, as well as adults, are arrested and face the criminal justice system
when what they really need is treatment for mental illness or substance abuse issues.
The criminal/juvenile justice system has become a revolving door, failing to treat the
root of the problems faced by this population.
This planning grant will allow our community the opportunity to formulate a plan to
address mental health and substance abuse issues and seek funds to establish
programs to address these problems.
Sincerely,

Dear Major Taylor,
I wholeheartedly support Monroe County's Criminal Justice, Mental Health and
Substance Abuse Planning Council in its application for a jail diversion -planning
grant.
Monroe County has an exceptionally large population of homeless individuals
who come to our county for its warm weather and laid back atmosphere.
Unfortunately, many of these individuals suffer from mental health problems and
substance abuse issues. These individuals congregate on street comers and under
bridges. They are at a minimum a nuisance and often times a danger to private
citizens and property in our county. A consequence of this is that these individuals
are arrested for minor crimes and reside in our county jail until the resolution of
their case. These individuals need treatment for their mental health issues so that
they can become productive members of our community.
I support the establishment of a Mental Health Diversion Court in Monroe
County so that our county jail can be used to house criminals and not as a way
station for the mentally ill. Please reward the efforts of the Criminal Justice, Mental
Health and Substance Abuse Council by funding their planning grant application.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Major Taylor,
I am pleased to support your efforts through the Planning Council to obtain a
planning grant to help develop a strategic plan to identify and treat juveniles and adults
who have substance abuse and/or mental health issues. As a prosecutor for over 17 years
I have too often seen individuals processed through the criminal justice system when the
the real problem is a treatment issue that could be handled without the added cost and
burden of criminal prosecution. On behalf of myself and The Rotary Club of Sunset Key
West, we support you efforts in this regard and wish you great success in your endeavors.
Yours in Rotary Service,
Manny Madruga

RE: Support for Criminal Justice and Mental Health Reinvestment Grant
Dear Major Taylor:
As Court Administrator for the 16"' Judicial Circuit, and a member of the local
Mental Health and Substance Abuse Policy Council, I am writing to support
Monroe County's Criminal Justice and Mental Health Reinvestment Grant
application. The purpose of the initial grant application is to produce a
comprehensive plan to help keep adults and juveniles with mental illness and/or
substance abuse disorders out of jail, and in effective treatment programs. In
my work with the Courts throughout the county, I have recognized the problems
some of our citizens have in accessing services that address their mental health
and substance abuse problems. I have also witnessed the frustration of families
and community members when the legal system appears to be a revolving door,
with the only exit for the mentally ill being to the streets and homelessness.
I am pleased that you have taken the lead in the effort to increase public safety,
minimize costs to the criminal justice system, and improve accessibility and
effectiveness of treatment services for our citizens who suffer from mental illness
or substance abuse. By diverting these people from our jail, and into treatment,
we will be able to improve their quality of life, and strengthen our community.
Sincere
Mary ande rook

Dear Major Taylor:
TELEPHONE (305) 292.3400
FAX (305) 294-7707
I am pleased to be writing you a letter in support of the efforts of the Monroe County
Criminal Justice, Mental Health and Substance Abuse Planning Council to secure a grant to fund
planning to treat mental health and substance abuse matters as they relate to the criminal justice
system.
During my tenure as State Attorney I have noticed that there exists a population who suffer
from mental health and substance abuse problems. This population disproportionately impact the
criminal justice system. Many of them are homeless and commit minor crimes. Nothing that the
system offers seems to impact their criminal behavior.
If we look below the surface to the cause of these problems we find that Monroe County
Florida faces an unparalleled burden of mental health, substance abuse, and criminal justice
challenges coupled with significant structural impediments to the delivery of appropriate services.
With the State's highest rate of alcohol related motor vehicle accidents, the highest rate of adult
binge drinking, and the highest rate of underage drinking, the substance abuse profile is alarming.
With a substantially increased Domestic violence rate and with an increase of 30 percent in the
number of incarcerations in the County Detention Center over the past two years, there is evidence
of an ever increasing problem.
Monroe County is unique. First, there is a pervasive attitude and local culture that promotes
excess consumption of alcohol and an abandonment of many social constraints on behavior. This
attitude is manifest not only in drinking establishments but serves as a draw to new residents who
view substance abuse as a desirable lifestyle. Many of the new residents are homeless and bring with
them mental health and substance abuse problems.
No other county faces the double edged challenge of Monroe's geography. Physically
isolated from the mainland and covering a distance as wide as three normal counties, the Keys are
81
islands with very limited habitable areas and no room for expansion. The physical beauty of the
Keys and the surrounding waters makes the available real estate highly desirable. As habitation
space is extremely limited and already fully occupied, prices for housing are beyond affordable levels
for working class families. Not only is this creating economic stress in working class residents, but
it is also rapidly shrinking the pool of available service workers.
Monroe County also has the highest per capita homeless population in the State. Many of
the homeless suffer from mental health and substance abuse issues. They also account for a
disproportionately high percentage of the arrests.
I applaud all efforts to get at the root of the problem so many of our chronically homeless
who suffer from mental health and substance abuse issues because I believe it will help this
population remain crime free and become productive members of society.
Sincerely,
MARK E. KOHL
State Attorney

A. Statement of Purpose/Overview
In the 2007 legislative session, CS/CS/HB 1477 [Chapter No. 2007-200, L.O.F.] passed
and created within the Department of Children and Family Services the Criminal Justice,
Mental Health, and Substance Abuse Reinvestment Grant Program (CJMHSARG). The
purpose of the program is to provide funding to counties with which they can plan,
implement, or expand initiatives that increase public safety, avert increased spending on
criminal and juvenile justice, and improve the accessibility and effectiveness of treatment
services for adults and juveniles who have a mental illness, substance abuse disorder, or
co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders and who are in, or at risk of
entering, the criminal or juvenile justice systems. It is expected that these grants will
demonstrate that investment in diversion strategies and in treatment efforts related to
mental illness, substance abuse disorders, or co-occurring mental health and substance
abuse disorders will result in a reduced demand on the resources of the judicial,
corrections, juvenile detention, and health and social services systems.
A total of $3.8 million is available for the Planning (I-year)and Implementation/
Expansion (3-years) grants that will be funded through this program. Matching funds are
required at the rate of 100% of the proposed budget; for fiscally -constrained counties the
match rate is 50% of the proposed budget. Participation in a consortium by both fiscally -
constrained counties and non -fiscally -constrained counties will not alter the statutorily
required percentages of matching funds for each.
All recipients of grants funded under this initiative are required to submit semi-annual
reports on progress and performance until all grant funded activities are completed.
Further, grantees will be expected to capture and report project data to the Florida
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Corporation and the Criminal Justice, Mental
Health, and Substance Abuse Technical Assistance Center located within the Florida
Mental Health Institute, University of South Florida.
B. Terminology.
The following terms are used in this solicitation:
a. Applicant. This refers to counties or a consortium of counties within Florida;
counties are the only eligible applicants that can respond to this solicitation.
b. Application. This refers to the applicant's response to this solicitation.
c. At -Risk of Involvement in the CriminW Juvenile Justice System. Applicants
addressing at -risk populations are asked to identify factors that put the target
population at risk of entering/re-entering the criminal justice and/or juvenile justice
systems (See page 14, Application Components). As examples, literature has defined
"at -risk" factors at link to criminal behavior for adults, including: homelessness and
other unstable living situations, history of victimization/abuse, significant transitions
such as a recent release from jail or re-entry to the community from prison, and
history of involvement in the juvenile justice system.
For youth, literature has linked factors that influence the likelihood of delinquent
behaviors, for example: the characteristics of an individual (e.g. a child's impulsivity,
tendency to aggressive behavior, low IQ, learning disabilities); the family (e.g. a
parent's harsh discipline or weak supervision); the social group (e.g. a social group
that encourages or tolerates the occurrence of crime); the school (poor academic
performance); and, the community (e.g. a community that is disorganized and offers
few alternatives to crime as a source of money or activity).
d. Awardee. A county or a consortium of counties that is awarded a Planning or
Implementation/Expansion grant.
e. Budget. The full budget is the amount requested in grant funds plus the amount of the
matching funds, i.e. the grant request is $100,000 and matching funds are $100,000
(at 100% match), for a total budget of $200,000 detailed in this application.
f. Certification of Assurances. This is a written and signed list of performance
requirements and business conditions to which the applicant agrees to be bound.
g. Criminal Justice Reinvestment Grant. The abbreviated version of the full title of the
Criminal Justice, Mental Health, and Substance Abuse Reinvestment Grant program.
h. Corporation. This refers to the Florida Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Corporation.
i. Grant Review Criteria. A list of weighted requirements, established by the Florida
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Corporation for determining which applications
best meets the purposes of this solicitation.
j. Grant Review Methodology. The procedures used to assess how well the application
submitted by applicants complies with the evaluation criteria contained in this
solicitation.
k. Negotiation. A telephone call or a face-to-face meeting held between the Florida
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Corporation and counties, who are awarded a
grant, to make minor changes and to clarify any minor uncertainty about such issues
as the description of the projects to be provided, matching funds, outcomes, and
outcome measurement, etc.
I. Strate iP c Plan. A document that is the result of a formal systemic and strategic
planning process. It documents participation by stakeholders, and it is data and
research driven. It establishes a path to the accomplishment of prioritized goals and
objectives that are written statements that describe an intended outcome and
measurable targets of achievement.
m. Supplantation. Refers to the approved use of funds. Funds received shall be used to
plan, implement, or expand initiatives that increase public safety, avert increased
spending on criminal justice, and improve the accessibility and effectiveness of
treatment services for adults and juveniles who have a mental illness, substance abuse
disorder, or co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders and who are in,
or at risk of entering, the criminal or juvenile justice systems. Funds may be used
only for the program authorized in CS/CS/HB 1477, and may not be used to pay the
expenses of any other program or service administered in whole or in part by the
county. Funds provided under this grant program shall not supplant (replace) funds
that would otherwise be used for proposed activities during the time period delineated
in this application. Funds may not be substituted for moneys appropriated from other
sources for proposed programs or services.
n. Sustainabilitv_. Refers to the capacity of the county and its partners to maintain
planning or service coverage, as provided by this grant, at a level that continues to
deliver the intended benefits of the initiative after the financial and technical
assistance from the state is terminated. Sustainability is viewed as a dynamic process
requiring the formulation of sustainability goals and objectives, and developing and
implementing strategies specifically to foster sustainability. Clarifying long-term
goals and establishing benchmarks for measuring progress, securing the fiscal
resources needed to accomplish long-term goals, developing financing strategies,
building broad -based community support, cultivating key champions, and writing a
formal sustainability plan are examples of sustainability strategies.

grant per program announcement and may seek funding that is less than the maximum
limits set for each type of grant. Applicants must build their application budgets based on
the amount of state grant funds requested, as dictated in the grant maximums in this
section, plus the percent of matching funds required (Section I.F. below).
1) Planning Grants
Grant Maximum: $100,000
Project Period: 12 months
This grant will not be awarded unless the applicant county or consortium of counties
make available resources in an amount equal to the total amount of the grant (see
Matching Funds Requirements, Section F). Grant funding must be spent within 12
months from date of award letter. Planning grants will not be renewed. Awardees may
apply for Implementation Grants in the next state fiscal year, if the Criminal Justice,
Reinvestment Grant program is continued.
2) Implementation/Expansion Grants.
Grant Maximum: $1,000,000 Project Period: 36 months
The maximum allowable grant award is $1,000,000 total for the 36 month period (i.e.

consortium of counties makes available resources in an amount equal to the total amount
of the grant (see Matching Fund Requirements, Section I.F.). Grant funding must be
spent within 36 months from date of award letter. Funding will be allocated annually
based on available funds.
E. Expected/Allowable Activities
1) Planning Grants
Awardees in this grant category will develop, write, and submit as a final product a
strategic plan to initiate systemic change for the identification and treatment of adults
and/or juveniles who have a mental illness, substance abuse disorder, or co-occurring
mental health and substance abuse disorders and who are in, or at risk of entering the
criminal and/or juvenile justice systems.
The Planning Grant must be used to develop effective collaboration efforts among
participants in affected governmental agencies, including the criminal, juvenile, and civil
justice systems, mental health and substance abuse treatment service providers,
transportation programs, and housing assistance programs. This collaboration must form
the basis for a strategic plan to intercept individuals from the system at the earliest point
possible while promoting public safety. The strategic plan must also include strategies to
divert individuals from judicial commitment to community -based service programs
offered by the Department of Children and Family Services in accordance with ss. 916.13
W1
and 916.17, F.S.
The activities that are supported for Planning Grants, include, but are not limited to, the
following:
• Conduct a thorough needs assessment, including clear delineation of the target
population(s) to be served;
• Involve key stakeholders as dictated in Section I.C. and other potential sources of
subject matter expertise and funding in planning actions;
• Provide key stakeholders with expert consultation and education on specific
approaches and their linkage to best known/effective mental health and substance
abuse treatment practices, diversion strategies, and support services;
• Develop/write a strategic plan for creating a comprehensive service system for
criminal justice -diverted persons with mental health and/or substance use
disorders;
• Deriving methodologies for sharing data among partners, and collecting and
reporting data to the Criminal Justice, Mental Health, and Substance Abuse
Technical Assistance Center (FMHI, University of South Florida).
• Conduct a performance assessment of the planning actions.
The strategic plan must follow the template provided in Appendix A which includes
vision and mission statements, goals, objectives, activities, timeline and persons
responsible for implementing the activities. Examples of the types of strategies the plan
could also include are:
• Identifying resources to support and sustain the comprehensive service system
during and beyond the state funding period;
• Developing the workforce (e.g., training, licensure, credentialing, accreditation,
etc.);
• Identifying progressive actions that move mental health and substance abuse
treatment services towards use of evidence -based and/or best practices;
• Modifying/adapting treatment services to meet the unique needs of the target
population;
• Assuring that social services including peer support, life skills training, housing
placement, vocational training, job placement, and health care will be available;
• Obtaining memoranda of understanding or other documents demonstrating
agreement among agencies to provide and coordinate services;
• Identifying and addressing policy, legal, social and other barriers within the
county, and
• Measuring performance and assuring quality improvement.
Applicants are urged to use the Sequential Intercept Model (GAINS Center,
http://gainscenter.samhsa.gov/pdfs/integrating/GAINS_Sequential_Intercept.pdf) as a
conceptual framework for structuring strategies that relate to the identified target
populations and points of interception at which interventions can be made to prevent
individuals from entering, penetrating deeper into the criminal justice system, or re-
entering the criminal justice system after release.
2) Implementation/Expansion Grants.
Awardees in this grant category will implement —and may expand —their established
strategic plan that includes public -private partnership models and the application of
evidence -based and/or best practices. The strategic plan must be submitted at the time of
grant application, and must follow the format set forth in Appendix A.
As noted above, applicants are urged to use the Sequential Intercept Model (GAINS
Center, http://gainscenter.samhsa.gov/pdfs/integrating/GAINS_Sequential_Intercept.pdf)
as a conceptual framework for proposing strategies that relate to the identified target
population and points of interception at which interventions can be made to prevent
individuals from entering, penetrating deeper into the criminal justice system, or re-
entering the criminal justice system after release.
The types of services that Implementation/Expansion grants can support, but are not
limited to:
• mental health courts;
• justice diversion programs (police -based, jail -based, court -based);
• alternative prosecution and sentencing programs;
• crisis intervention teams;
• mental health and/or substance abuse treatment services;
• specialized training for justice and treatment services professionals;
• service delivery for collateral services such as housing, transitional housing and
supported employment; and
• Re-entry services to create or expand mental health, substance abuse, and support
services
F. In order for grant initiatives to be successful, the types of services offered and practices
used must be effective. Applicants must document in their application that the treatment
services and diversion practices they propose to implement incorporate the best objective
evidence available regarding effectiveness. In addition, applicants must justify the use of
proposed services/practices for the target population along with any adaptations or
modifications necessary to meet the unique needs of the target population or otherwise
increase the likelihood of achieving positive outcomes. Further guidance on how to
access information on the services and practices that fulfill this requirement can be found
in Appendix B.
G. Matching Funds Requirements
Matching funds are required for grants awarded under this program according to the
following stipulations:
(1) 1-year Planning Grants must make available resources equal to the total amount of the
grant. For fiscally constrained counties, the available resources may be at 50 percent of
the total amount of the grant.
(2) 3-year Implementation/Expansion Grants must make available resources equal to the
total amount of the grant. For fiscally constrained counties, the available resources may
be at 50 percent of the total amount of the grant.
A fiscally constrained Florida county is defined as a county designated as a rural area of
critical economic concern under s. 288.0656, F.S., for which a value of a mill in the
county is no more than $3 million, based on the property valuations and tax data. See
Appendix D for the list of 33 counties that currently meet this designation.
If the applicant is a consortium of counties and is a combination of fiscally -constrained
county(ies) and non -fiscally -constrained county(ies), this will not alter the statutorily
required percentages of matching funds for each. Additional detail on matching funds
requirements can be found in Appendix C.
Performance Tracking and Measures

GUIDANCE FOR INCORPORATING EVIDENCE -BASED OR BEST PRACTICES
Many federal agencies have published resource lists of services and practices that have already
determined to be effective and can be found in the following sources:
SAMHSA's National Registry of Evidence -based Programs and Practices (NREPP) is a
searchable online registry of mental health and substance abuse interventions that have been
reviewed and rated by independent reviewers. The purpose of this registry is to assist the
public in identifying approaches to preventing and treating mental and/or substance use
disorders that have been scientifically tested and that can be readily disseminated to the field.
www.nrepp.samhsa.gov
NREPP is a new registry and currently has several dozen reviewed interventions. New
intervention summaries are continually being added as reviews are completed. The registry is
expected to grow to a large number of interventions over the coming months and years.
Please check back regularly to access the latest updates. To access SAMHSA's Model
Programs Web site (the old NREPP) go to http://modelprograms.samhsa.gov.
Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) Evidence -based Practice Toolkits -
SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
initiated the Evidence -Based Practices Project to: 1) help more consumers and families
access services that are effective; 2) help providers of mental health services develop
effective services; and 3) help administrators support and maintain these services. A website
(http://www.mentalhealth.samhsa.gov/cmhs/communitysupport/toolkits/) is available
that contains the first cluster of evidence -based practices, and the design of implementation
resource kits to help people understand and use these practices successfully.
Basic information about the first five evidence -based practices is available on the website.
The five practices are:
1. Illness Management and Recovery
2. Family Psychoeducation
3. Assertive Community Treatment
4. Supported Employment
5. Integrated Dual Disorders Treatment
Each of the resource kits contains information and materials written by and for the following
groups: Consumers, Families and Other Supporters, Practitioners and Clinical Supervisors,
Mental Health Program Leaders, and Public Mental Health Authorities. Material on the Web
site can be printed or downloaded with Acrobat Reader, and references are provided where
additional information can be obtained. The full kits will be available from National Mental
Health Information Center at www.mentalhealth.org or 1-800-789-CMHS (2647).

The Criminal Justice/Mental Health Consensus Project — This Project, coordinated by the
Council of State Governments Justice Center, is a national effort to help local, state, and
federal policymakers and criminal justice and mental health professionals improve the
response to people with mental illnesses who come into contact with the criminal justice
system. It supports the implementation of practical, flexible criminal justice/mental health
strategies through on -site technical assistance; the dissemination of information about
programs, research, and policy developments in the field; continued development of policy
recommendations; and educational presentations. Their website contains many resources by
special focus areas — law enforcement, courts, corrections, victims, jail diversion, etc. — as
well as other resources for research information and practice guidelines.
http://consensusproject.org/
Criminal Justice/Mental Health Information Network - The Council of State
Governments Justice Center collaborates with the Criminal Justice/Mental Health
Information Network to offer an exhaustive, easy -to -use resource that serves as both an
inventory of programs as well as a tool for peer -to -peer networking. The InfoNet looks at
programs in the broad context of criminal justice/mental health activity. It catalogs media
articles which may describe and bring greater profile to a program; research studies, which
may examine program outcomes and processes; legislation, which may provide critical
funding; state -level efforts, which are designed to support and guide programs within the
state; and advocacy initiatives, which support and enhance program activities. The website
has established links between the various content items that refer to one another, and offers a
search and navigation tool that serves as a framework for discussing the issues that arise and
represents the sequence of events that may occur for individuals with mental illnesses who
come into contact with the criminal justice system. http://cjmh-infonet.org/
National Center for Mental Health and Juvenile Justice — This Center assists the field in
developing improved policies and programs for youth with mental health disorders in contact
with the juvenile justice system, based on the best available research and practice. The
Center, which is operated by Policy Research, Inc. in Delmar, NY in partnership with the
Council of Juvenile Correctional Administrators (CJCA), aims at providing a centralized
national focal point that pulls together and links the various activities and research that are
currently underway, maximizing the awareness and usefulness of new products and
learnings, and using the best available knowledge to guide practice and policy.
httP://www.ncmhjj.com/
GAINS Center - The GAINS Center is funded by SAMHSA to focus on expanding access
to community based services for adults diagnosed with co-occurring mental illness and
substance use disorders at all points of contact with the justice system. This Center provides
many free publications in a variety of related areas, and they also provide consultation and
technical assistance to help communities achieve integrated systems of mental health and
substance abuse services for individuals in contact with the justice system.

Criminal Justice, Mental Health, and Substance Abuse Technical Assistance Center.
The Technical Assistance Center is located at the Louis de la Parte Florida Mental Health
Institute. The Center was created by CS/CS/BB 1477 to provide technical assistance and
consultation to grant applicants and awardees. The Center draws on the expertise of faculty at
FMHI and also works closely with the GAINS Center, the Council of State Governments'
Criminal Justice/Mental Health Consensus Project, Florida Partners in Crisis, and others. The
TA Center faculty and staff have particular experience with co-occurring disorders (mental
health and substance abuse); best practices in supportive housing, supported employment,
and recovery; therapeutic courts; jail and prison re-entry; and assessment and restoration of
criminal competency. A web site is being developed for the TA Center, and in the interim
requests for information may be made to John Petrila (Petrila@fmhi.usf.edu) and Mark
Engelhardt (mengelhardt@finhi.usf.edu).
Showing that Your Services/Practices are Effective
If you are proposing services/practices that are not included in the above -referenced sources, you
must provide a narrative justification that summarizes the evidence for effectiveness of the
proposed services/practice. The preferred evidence of effectiveness will include the findings
from clinical trials, efficacy, and/or effectiveness studies published in the peer -reviewed
literature.
In areas where little or no research has been published in the peer -reviewed scientific literature,
you may present evidence involving studies that have not been published in the peer -reviewed
research literature and/or documents describing formal consensus among recognized experts. If
consensus documents are presented, they must describe consensus among multiple experts whose
work is recognized and respected by others in the field. Local recognition of an individual as a
respected or influential person at the community level is not considered a "recognized expert" for
this purpose. In presenting evidence in support of the proposed services/practice, you must show
that the evidence presented is the best objective information available.
Using Services/Practices that are Appropriate for Your Target Population
You must also show that these services/practices are appropriate for your target population(s). It
is preferred that you provide information from research studies that shows the services/practices
are effective for your target population. However, if this type of information is not available,
you may provide information from other sources, such as unpublished studies or documents
describing formal consensus among recognized experts. You may describe your own experience
either with the target population or in managing similar programs. However, you will need to
convince the people reviewing your application that the services/practices you propose are
appropriate for your target population.
Describing Necessary Changes to the Services/Practices
It is expected that you will implement your services/practices in a way that is as close as possible
to the original services/practices. However, it is understood that you may need to make minor
changes to the services/practices to meet the needs of your target population or your program, or
to allow you to use resources more efficiently. You must describe any changes to your proposed
� 4
services/practices that you believe are necessary for these purposes. You may describe your own
experience either with the target population or in managing similar programs. However, you will
need to convince the people reviewing your application that the changes you propose are
justified.
Appendix C
MATCHING FUNDS
Grantee match is that portion of project property and services —staff time, Tinge benefits, supplies,
equipment, travel, rent, etc. —coming from other than State funds. The matching share must
constitute a 100% of the Grant amount. A minimum match of 50% is allowable for fiscally
constrained counties (Appendix D). The match may be derived from the county or private sources.
Both "cash" contributions (provided directly by the grantee) and "in -kind" contributions (from a
third party) may be utilized to satisfy the match requirement.
"In -kind" means third -party contributions of property or services that benefit this grant -supported
project or program and that are contributed by the county or third parties without charge to the
grantee. Neither the actual cost nor the value of third -party in -kind contributions may count
towards satisfying a matching requirement of the Criminal Justice Reinvestment Grant if it has
been, or will be, counted towards satisfying a cost -sharing or matching requirement of another
grant, a State procurement contract, or any other award of State funds.
If an applicant chooses to include in -kind contributions in its matching share, specific dollar values
must be assigned. Applicants are required to use the Commitment to Match/Donation Forms
found in Appendix F to verify cash and attach valuation to in -kind contributions. A signed form
from each match donor must accompany this application as an attachment to the Budget Section.
A Match Summary Sheet is to be used to show the proportions of cash and in -kind match.
Examples of in -kind contributions and methods for determining values are as follows
Volunteer Services - Unpaid services provided to a grant awardee by individuals shall be
valued at rates consistent with those ordinarily paid for similar work in the grant recipient's
organization. If the awardee does not have employees performing similar work, the rates
shall be consistent with those ordinarily paid by other employers for similar work in the
same labor market. In either case, a reasonable amount of fringe benefits may be included
in the valuation.
Su lies - If the county or a third party donates supplies, the contribution shall be valued at
the market value of the supplies at the time of donation.
Loaned/Donated Eauioment or Snace - If a county or a third party donates the use of
equipment or space in a building but retains title, the contribution shall be valued at the fair
rental rate of the equipment or space. If the county or a third party donates equipment and
the title passes to the grant recipient, the market value of that equipment at the time of the
donation that is applicable to the period which the matching requirement applies, may be
counted toward matching in -kind funds. See Appendix F for worksheets to set the value.
Matching funds and/or grant funds used in the Administrative Costs of the budget need to adhere
to the legislative cap of 10% of the requested state grant funds. For example, if an applicant applies
no
for $100,000 for a Planning Grant, $10,000 is the total allowable portion of the entire budget for
Administrative costs. This $10,000 can be proposed in several ways:
• as grant funded entirely (with no matching funds in that line)
• as matching funds (with no requested grant funds in that line)
• or as a combination of match and grant funds to comprise the $10,000,
Criteria for Allowable and Unallowable Match
(1) Allowable for Matching. Matching requirements may be satisfied by any or all of the
following:
(a) Allowable costs supported by the county and/or non -state or federal grants incurred
by the county during the effective period of the contract;
(b) Funds from partnering organizations or units of government;
(c) The value of third -party funds and in -kind contributions applicable to the matching
requirement period.
(d) The value of volunteer services up to and including 10 percent of the total budget.
(e) Costs supported by fees and program income.
(2) Unallowable for Matching.
(a) Costs paid for by another state or federal contract or grant except as provided by State
or Federal statute.
(b) Costs or third -party funds and in -kind contributions that are used to satisfy a matching
requirement of another State contract or Federal grant.
(c) Income from sale of printed material, food, and books purchased with State funds.
(d) Income derived from Federal Medicaid funds.

Appendix E
BUDGET INSTRUCTIONS
The budget section of the application consists of a line -item Budget and a Budget Narrative. The
line -item budget must show the total project costs and proposed allocation of the requested grant
funds. The budget must also indicate the sources and amounts of matching funds. For
Implementation/Expansion grants, a 3-year budget must be provided.
Applicants are required to use the Commitment to Match/Donation Forms found in Appendix F
to verify cash and attach valuation to in -kind contributions. A signed form from each match donor
must accompany this application as an attachment to the Budget Section. A Match Summary
Sheet is to be used to show the proportions of cash and in -kind match.
Following is a brief line -by-line explanation of the categories to be used in developing the grant
budget.
Personnel - List each position by title whose salary (or portion of total salary) is to be
charged to the grant's budget. Indicate the salary rate for each position and if the
position is to be full-time or part-time. If part-time, please identify the level of effort
(percent of total). For Implementation grants, you may show personnel expenditures for
the 3-year period at a cost of living increase commensurate with County practices.
Fringe.Benefits - Indicate the fringe benefit rate (fixed percentage of total personnel).
If the Tinge benefit rate varies by position, list each staff position covered and show the
rate for each position. Possible partial coverage could be any combination of social
security, health insurance, retirement, or worker's compensation.
Administrative Costs - The administrative costs for each applicant may not exceed
10% of the total funding received by the state for each grant. Administrative costs
typically include: grant management activities; fiscal, personnel, and procurement
management; related office services and record keeping; costs of necessary insurance,
auditing, etc. Evaluation activities are considered a direct program cost and are not
included in this section.
Staff Travel - This item is for travel expenses for project staff. Any travel listed in this
category must be for the purpose of supporting grant activities as described in this
application. Identify the approximate total mileage to be traveled during the proposed
grant period. Mileage reimbursement and other travel rates cannot exceed the maximum
rates established by the Department of Children and Families.
Consultants & Contracted Services - Show a calculation of charges giving hourly or
daily rates for each consultant. List all sub -contracted services, including vendor,
purpose and amount. A copy of all subcontracts must be made available to the
Corporation upon request. Agency employees or persons who would normally provide
consultant services without charge may not be included in the budget.
31
Eouipment - An item of equipment is an article of property procured that is of a durable
nature, and has an expected service life of more than one year. Purchase of equipment is
dependent upon program intent and requires appropriate justification. List each item of
equipment to be purchased and the specific dollar amount for each item, including
installation, insurance, freight and accessories.
Supplies - Supplies are consumable or expendable items that are used routinely or that
have an expected life of one year or less.
Rent/Utilities - For each rental required to support grant programs, present monthly cost
and number of months rented. If rental expense is to be shared, display grant portion
only and explain in the budget justification the other dimensions of the shared costs.
Specify the total rental expense and also indicate the monthly rate. If utilities are not
included in the rent, list those expenses separately and also provide an estimated
monthly utility charge.
Other - List expenses for printing, as well as any other charges (except capital
expenses) that can not be identified within the other budget categories. Include
sufficient descriptive detail (as needed) to facilitate Corporation review and approval.
Unallowable Costs - When completing the budget, please note that the following are types of
costs that cannot be included. Below is an inclusive list of unallowable costs:
1. Supplanting of staff costs;
2. Administrative costs not related to the implementation of the proposed project;
3. Indirect costs (i.e., cost not related to the project being funded by this grant);
