Commissioner Roby discussed with Ms. Compton the reasons for the delay on this project. She advised that approval is nearing completion, but that a $24,000 sewer fee was being levied on the project. Ms. Compton advised that the second project she was reporting on was a program to provide health care access for the uninsured. The goal of the program was to provide uninsured and low- income Pleasanton residents with access to medical care by: 1) determining eligibility for publicly supported health programs, 2) assisting families to complete enrollment applications, 3) assist families to maintain enrollment at their re- enrollment times, 4) schedule health care services, and 5) provide follow -up to make certain that services were received. Ms. Compton advised that the goal of the program was to enroll 206 low- income and uninsured Pleasanton residents in publicly supported health care programs. The program achieved 172% of its goal and was able to enroll 355 residents in health care plans. Commissioner Rowland indicated that she was impressed with the achievements Axis was able to accomplish with the funding for this program. Ms. Compton advised that additional support for the program was also received from the City of Livermore and Alta Bates Foundation. Chairperson Nagler discussed the fact that the funded service being provided by Axis was similar to one that had been funded with City Grant funds. He felt this was an area that the Commission could consider leveraging of funds in order to provide maximum assistance. Commissioner Wilson questioned whether any of the 355 residents served in the program were provided mental health service. Ms. Compton provided details of the covered services. Bay Area Community Services /Creative Living Services (Jamie Amanza) — informed the Commission that BACS either met or exceeded goals. Funds allowed for services to be provided to 73 adults with psychiatric disabilities. The Valley Creative Living Center provides day rehabilitation services to adults with severe and persistent mental illness. A total of 25 of the individuals served were Pleasanton residents. BACS partnered with Alameda County Vocational Program for this program to provide the necessary services. Ms. Amanza discussed the strong collaboration and partnership that BAGS has with other agencies. Community Resources for Independent Living (CRIL) /Housing Services for Disabled Persons (John Quinn) — thanked the Commission for the funding that was allocated to CRIL which allowed them to work with 35 Pleasanton residents with disabilities and allowed the residents to meet their housing and independent living goals and increase their personal self- sufficiency. CRIL was able to meet all of the goals. Mr. Quinn advised that two bus loads of individuals recently attended a rally in Sacramento to advocate for support services for those with disabilities who are served by CRIL and other agencies. Mr. Quinn gave additional information about the services /workshops provided by CRIL and its collaboration with other agencies. Human Services Commission Minutes August 18, 2010 Page 3
