Mental Health Association tells Fulton County commissioners it is seeking office space and that peer-support contract goes unused
Summary
Staff from the Mental Health Association of Franklin and Fulton Counties told commissioners they are looking for office space in Fulton County and stated the contract for Peer Support Services was not being used, according to meeting minutes.
Representatives from the Mental Health Association of Franklin and Fulton Counties met with the Fulton County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 27, 2026, to review services the organization provides and to discuss needs in the county.
Carol Slemmer, Community Support Program Manager, and Scott Graham, chief executive officer, told commissioners the association is actively looking for office space in Fulton County. According to the meeting minutes, Graham also noted that the contract for Peer Support Services was not being used in the county.
The presentation was described in the minutes as informational; commissioners received a handout outlining services provided by the association. The minutes do not record a formal county response, a decision about office space, or any immediate policy action to change contract status.
Because the minutes record the association's statement without a recorded county reply or follow-up directive, the status of the Peer Support Services contract and any plan to make use of it remain unresolved. Commissioners did not vote on or direct staff to modify the contract during the meeting.
The Mental Health Association representatives who attended the meeting were Denny Koons, Jacob Barr (Raymond James) for the Retirement Board review earlier and, for the services discussion, Carol Slemmer and Scott Graham. The meeting record notes the association provided a handout package to each commissioner for informational purposes.
