Community Services Board approves two staff awards for Warren and Washington counties
Summary
The meeting packet showed the Community Services Board approved $103,973 to ASCEND Mental Wellness for a Warren County case manager and $87,947 to People USA for a Washington County peer specialist; the subcommittee was informed of the awards but no motion vote was recorded in the meeting minutes.
During the March 27 meeting, Robert York reported that the Community Services Board (CSB) approved two workforce awards: $103,973 to ASCEND Mental Wellness to fund a case manager position in Warren County and $87,947 to People USA to fund a peer specialist in Washington County. York said the awards were listed as approved in the CSB packet circulated to the committee.
The record did not document a roll-call vote or identify a mover and seconder at the subcommittee meeting; York presented the packet information as an administrative update. The awards are intended to expand on-the-ground behavioral-health staffing in each county.
Why it matters: the funded positions add case management and peer-support capacity in the two counties, which county staff said will support transitions from hospitals and community-based care. The meeting packet included flyers and related workforce information but did not attach job descriptions or start dates for the positions.
York said interviews for a court-based navigator position have started and that staff will continue to circulate internship and program flyers to support hiring and community outreach.
