Frquently Asked Questions (Q&A):
Q. Are rent subsidies an allowable expense? If so, what is the limit on percentage of budget?
A. We are hoping that respondents will allocate some funding to rent subsidies. While the grant guidelines do not delineate a maximum percentage this is something that you should propose as reasonable within your overall budget. The finer details will be worked out with GHPH upon further guidance from BJA.
Q. Are transportation expenses and participant “flex-funds” allowed?
A. Respondents should clearly detail allocation for any proposed expenses in their budget. Final details on allowable expenses will be worked out with successful respondent and GHPH upon further guidance from BJA.
Q. How might the MTP 1115 Waiver affect respondents budget projections?
A. While the final reimbursement rates for reimbursement in carceral settings is still being worked out by HCA, respondents should be prepared to forecast potential program offsets received from billing for eligible services, e.g., by using projections based off Medicaid billing for similar services outside of the carceral setting. The selected agency would be required to make sure they are eligible to bill for services in a carceral setting.
Q. Who is responsible for ensuring participants have active insurance?
A. The jail does have an individual in place who will help individuals enroll in Medicaid if they do not have active insurance.
Q. Is there any feel for how many individuals would be participating in jail-based programs?
A. While it is hard to predict the actual number of participants on a monthly basis, a snapshot of the program over the last 6 months is this:
SUD assessments: approximately 15 brief screens/month
SUD group participants: approximately 26 unique individuals/month
Re-entry participants: 75 (combination of active both in and out of jail)
Q. Is there a maximum number of participants who would be enrolled in jail-based programs?
A. No, all eligible participants should be served so long as the caseload is safe/manageable.
