17. For Question 16, provide additional information about how you prioritized the needs of LMI persons. The Kittitas County CDBG project will be administered through our partner organization Comprehensive Healthcare (CHC). CHC is a private nonprofit organization that offers a full range of mental health services to children, adults, and families throughout eastern Washington. They provide services to all clients regardless of ability to pay and 80% of its client population are LMI. CHC's client population within Kittitas County includes 26% multi-racial, 23% Hispanic, and 12% identify as other ethnic and racial identity. Also, they are the primary provider of Medicaid behavioral health services in Kittitas County with ongoing services provided to 22% of the Medicaid population. CHC is committed to addressing mental health service needs within the LMI community and within Kittitas County so are a trusted and capable partner for this project. 18. How did you prioritize the use of funds to prevent duplication of benefit (ie using CDBG funds when it would be reasonable for the same costs to be funded by other financial assistance)? Check all that apply. 19. For Question 18, provide any additional information that explains how you plan to prevent duplication of benefit. Comprehensive Healthcare has been coordinating mental health services since the early 1970's and is experienced working with different payer sources or with patients who are lacking insurance coverage. This project will address a current unmet and unstaffed need within Kittitas Valley Healthcare Emergency Department (KVH ED). KVH ED collects payment information upon registration and triage. Patients with insurance coverage will be served using their primary source of payer funding. Data from KVH ED show that approximately 70% of patients seen at KVH ED are LMI. Also important, mental health services are chronically underfunded so we believe the total number of patients with insurance coverage for mental health services will be low. 20.
