A. Annual Program cycle
1. The Program will be
administered through annual grants for preparedness activities each state
fiscal year and through as-needed applications for response and recovery
activities.
a. Providers interested in
participating in the Program will submit and update annually an organizational
profile demonstrating that they satisfy organizational eligibility criteria
(see Section 4) and confirm their intent to participate in yearly preparedness
activities.
b. The Program will
seek diverse geographic and socio-economic coverage by providers.
c. Providers must participate in preparedness
grants in order to apply for as-needed response and recovery funds.
2. The Department will make
disaster behavioral health capabilities available for review before
organizations submit their intent to participate.
B. Response funding allocation
1. A proportion of the annual allocation to
the Cash Fund will be reserved for as-needed response and recovery
applications.
a. The proportion reserved for
as-needed response and recovery activities will be annually determined
following the period in which providers submit their intent to
participate.
b. Allowable as-needed
response and recovery activities will be supported on a first-come,
first-served basis.
i. The funds reserved for
as-needed response and recovery will be evenly spread across fiscal quarters.
The Department will track the quarterly drawdown on the reserved funds and set
a mechanism by which funding can be moved across quarters in response to
need.
ii. An initial application by
a provider to the Cash Fund for as-needed response and recovery costs may be
capped to expedite initial disbursement in alignment with State procurement
protocols. Funding agreements may be supplemented if the additional need is
demonstrated, if it aligns with allowable activities and if additional funds
are available.
2. If more than one provider serves an
impacted area and each wishes to submit an application for as-needed response
and recovery activity funding, the providers must collaborate to identify
working relationships or activity distinctions.
3. If a provider serves an impacted area and
recognizes the need to involve other provider(s) to cover needs, the primary
provider may involve the secondary provider(s) as a sub-recipient of the funds
they receive.
