end
Background and Discussion:
The Behavioral Health Unit is currently located at 260 N. Sam Houston Pkwy. E. and needs additional space to accommodate expanded services. Expansion includes in-house pre-employment screening, which is currently outsourced, and peer support services.
Expected Impact:
Rates for pre-employment screening have been increasing and bringing this service in-house is expected to save on cost and improve efficiency, thereby relieving a potential bottleneck in the hiring process. Peer support services should ideally be conducted separate from other behavioral health services and this additional space will allow for that segregation.
Alternative Options:
Continue to function inefficiently and ineffectively in an inadequate space.
Alignment with Goal(s):
X Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
_ Transportation
_ Flooding
_ Environment
X Governance and Customer Service
