Mental Health Association tells Fulton County it is seeking office space and says peer-support contract is unused
Summary
Staff from the Mental Health Association of Franklin and Fulton Counties said they are looking for office space in Fulton County and reported the county’s Peer Support Services contract was not being used; they provided a services handout to commissioners.
Representatives from the Mental Health Association of Franklin and Fulton Counties told Fulton County commissioners on Jan. 27 that the nonprofit is seeking office space in the county and that the county’s contract for Peer Support Services currently was not being used.
Carol Slemmer, community support program manager, and Scott Graham, executive officer, met with commissioners and handed out an information package describing services the association provides in the county. “We are currently looking for office space in Fulton County,” Slemmer told the board. Scott Graham added that “nobody was using the contract for Peer Support Services,” a point the commissioners recorded in the minutes but did not immediately tie to a follow-up action.
The meeting minutes show the Mental Health Association’s presentation was informational; the minutes do not record a county response, a directive to staff, or a request for follow-up research into available space or contract utilization. The association’s staff were given the meeting packet for commissioners’ information.
What happens next: the minutes record the presentation and the handout; the transcript does not document further county direction or a timetable for follow-up. If commissioners or county staff choose to follow up, standard next steps would include staff review of contract status and facility options.
