Alliance to Host Webinar on Coordinated Assessment

On Monday, September 10 at 2 PM ET, the Alliance will host a webinar on implementing coordinated assessment under the new Interim Continuum of Care rule. The webinar will define coordinated assessment and discuss key aspects for communities to consider as they move toward implementation, including tips on remaining compliant with the regulation and general best practices. The Alliance will also highlight resources available to communities as they embark on the implementation process. The webinar will be recorded and made available through the Alliance's website at a later date.

On Thursday, August 23, North Carolina became the latest state to settle with the federal government under Olmstead v. L.C. decision, a Supreme Court case that established rules that states must make community housing and supports more accessible for people with disabilities, including those with behavioral health conditions. The Alliance recently blogged about Olmstead and its implications for ending chronic homelessness.

Those targeted for assistance under North Carolina's settlement agreement are people with severe and persistent mental illness who have been discharged or who will be discharged from a state psychiatric hospital and who are experiencing homeless or have unstable housing. According to the agreement, the state's disability programs will gradually reduce their over-reliance on restrictive "board and care homes," and begin emphasizing integrated community options - creating 3,000 new permanent supported housing slots by 2020.
