Subgrant Recipient: Monroe County Board of Commissioners

Project Start Date: 10/1/2013 End Date: 9/30/2014
Problem Identification
The problem that we hope to help solve is that both locally and nationally, our jails /prisons are
containing a significant number non - violent mentally ill men and women.
Monroe County Corrections reports that currently about 20% those in the Monroe County
Detention Center have some type of mental illness. Former Sheriff Bob Peryam has stated that,
"we're looking at reducing the population of folks with mental health issues, drug or alcohol issues,
or homeless issues. Many of these people do not need to be in jail." Guidance Care Center of the
Keys reports that the majority of people with mental illness are low- level, non - violent offenders
who are exhibiting in public symptoms of untreated mental illness. The Detention Center reports
that 80 +% of those arrested have substance abuse problems.
A report entitled "More Mentally III Persons are in Jails and Prisons than Hospitals: A Survey of
the States ". The report indicates that, "For every one mentally ill person in a hospital in the U.S.,
there are more than three in prisons ". The report also asserts that 16% of those in prison have a
serious mental illness. This compares to a 1983 finding when the percentage was 6.4 %. To
compound this, the 2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, Mental Health Findings,
reported that the use of illicit drugs in the past year was more likely among adults aged 18 or older
with past year any mental illness (25.8 percent) than it was among adults who did not have mental
illness in the past year (12.1 percent) This pattern was similar for most specific types of illicit drug
use, including the use of marijuana, cocaine, hallucinogens, inhalants, or heroin and the
nonmedical use of prescription -type psychotherapeutics. This makes it more likely that those with
mental illness will often come in contact with the criminal justice system.
Problem Significance
Heron - Peacock Supported Living provides stable, affordable supportive housing, in the "Housing
First" model, whereby housing is the critically required component in order to make recovery
successful. It has been shown that once people have housing they are more receptive to
participating in other programs to deal with mental health and substance abuse issues. In
addition, the supportive services we address mental health issues, improve life skills and develop
a treatment program that enables clients to remain clean and sober, and become a productive
member of our community. Information provided by the Monroe County Sheriffs Office indicates
that it costs approximately $80.00 /day to maintain a prisoner in the County Jail. In addition, the
daily cost of a stay at FL Northeast State Psychiatric Hospital is approximately $233.00. By
contrast the average cost per day for our programs is $46.52.
Needs Assessment
The problem of incarceration of adults with mental illness and substance abuse, especially those
who are not major offenders, is very serious and is growing. Almost all jail inmates with co-
occurring mental illness and substance use disorders will leave

correctional settings and return to the community. In addition, Monroe County has only one
Assisted Living Facility with a Mental Health License serving a total of 16 low- income clients (the
Heron) and only one housing facility with a total of 31 beds willing to take individuals with serious
mental illnesses and substance abuse (Peacock Apartments). Outreach, intake, and assessment
are core elements of our supported services. In fact, the problems of inappropriate incarceration
and its link to homelessness have become so epidemic that the federal Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has identified major initiatives ?to divert
individuals with mental illness from the criminal justice system to mental health treatment and
appropriate supported services ?. Heron - Peacock Supported Living is the only supported living
program of its kind in the County serving this population, providing housing with support services
to adults who are persistently and chronically mentally ill. By directing these type clients to Heron -
Peacock Supported Living and similar programs, whether through diversion upon entry to the
criminal justice system or at reentry, we can provide a cost effective, stable housing and the
supportive services necessary for successful community integration, therefore, decreasing the
likelihood of recidivism. Heron - Peacock not only offers a more effective recovery environment
than alternatives such as homelessness, correctional institutions, and State psychiatric hospitals,
they are considerably more cost effective. In fact, this past three years sixteen formerly
incarcerated clients were among those that moved from our program to independence in the
community and within that timeframe have not again entered the criminal justice system.
Project Summary (Scope of Work)
The proposed project, Supportive Housing to Prevent Recidivism of Adults with Mental Illness &
Substance Abuse will address the program area of, Prevention and Education. It will accomplish
this goal by providing housing and supportive services to men and women who are mentally ill,
with a history of both incarceration and substance abuse. We will educate and actively monitor all
program clients to promote successful mental health treatment, recovery from drug /alcohol abuse,
with the outcome being, a reduction in future incarcerations among program participants. Services
to clients include securing psychiatric services, case management, securing disability or other
financial benefits. This may include life skill planning, supported employment, referral to day
treatment programs, medication supervision, substance abuse counseling and/or treatment.
These services are provided by direct services staff; Site Managers; and, full /part-time Mental
Health Support Workers. These are the staff engaged daily with our clients in providing support,
referral and life skills. Historically and the anticipated result of continued funding for this activity is
to reduce or eliminate the reoccurrence of incarceration. This is achieved by initially placing the
client in the appropriate housing, either the Heron (Marathon) or Peacock Apartments (Key West).
This decision is based on client history, mental illness diagnosis and client needs. Once the target
population has secured housing, which is the first and most significant barrier wellness and self -
improvement, we work with each client to develop an individualized personal growth plan and
provide the supportive services and referrals needed for the client to implement that plan. The
goal of this support is to stabilize and work to improve each client's "wellness" in light of their
particular mental illness and /or substance abuse issues. The expectation is that this client, while
having prior contact with the criminal justice system, will not return to incarceration or make a
successful transition from incarceration.
This program does not require the purchase of significant equipment.

WHEREAS, it is our desire to continue to provide outstanding public service responsive
to the needs of our citizens, community, and environment despite the impact of these budget

requires improved coordination between Divisions and will result in a significantly increased
