Mental Health Association tells Fulton County commissioners it is seeking county office space; peer-support contract unused
Summary
Representatives from the Mental Health Association of Franklin and Fulton Counties told commissioners they are looking for office space in Fulton County and that the county contract for Peer Support Services currently has no users; commissioners received an informational handout and took no formal action.
Commissioners met with Carol Slemmer, Community Support Program Manager, and Scott Graham, Executive Officer, of the Mental Health Association of Franklin and Fulton Counties during the Jan. 27 meeting. The association representatives said they are seeking office space in Fulton County to expand local service access and noted that the county contract for Peer Support Services currently has no users.
According to the minutes, the Mental Health Association provided a handout package describing services offered in the county. Scott Graham specifically told commissioners that the peer support contract had not been utilized; commissioners accepted the information for their files but took no formal action during the session.
The matter was presented for information and possible follow up; commissioners did not vote on contracting or funding changes during the meeting. Any future steps (such as lease discussions, contract reissuance, or program outreach) would require separate action by the board or staff.
