1. INTRODUCTION.
Family Stabilization Program
Lake County Behavioral Health Services (LCBHS) are pleased to announce the availability
of up to $200,000 per year for three years (2026-2029) through the Behavioral Health
Services Act (BHSA) to provide the Family Stabilization Program by providing residential
and community based intensive case management, transitional housing for young (18-25)
pregnant or parenting families and their children, and coordinated service linkages.
Participants served under this program must meet BHSA Housing Interventions eligibility
criteria, including applicable mental health and/or substance use disorder (SUD)–related
eligibility requirements.
Recent History: Lake County Behavioral Health Services (LCBHS), with
community cooperation, have funded the Nurturing Education and Skills Training
(NEST) through the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) contracting with
Redwood Community Services (RCS), located at 320 1st Street, Lakeport. The
program has provided Family Stabilization services by providing transitional
residential services for young pregnant and/or parenting families and providing
education and skills training for up to 15 months.
Current Need: It has been recognized that there is an ongoing need to assist
vulnerable young families in the community who are at risk or experiencing
homelessness. It is also recognized that these families can benefit from a youth
driven process to reduce risk factors and increase self-sufficiency. These
processes can help to end the cycle of poverty for these vulnerable families and
provide long-term sustainable change that will impact consumers as well as the
community for years to come.
Funding: Lake County Behavioral Health Services have determined Housing
funds from the Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) are for the operation of the
Family Stabilization Program. LCBHS is making available up to $200,000 per
fiscal year for a period of up to three (3) years, contingent upon:
• Annual appropriation by the County
• Continued availability of BHSA funding
• Contractor performance
• Ongoing alignment with the approved BHSA Integrated Plan
Local applicants must submit their proposals to LCBHS no later than 5:00 pm on
May 29th, 2026.
The contracting process, leading to funding disbursement, will begin immediately
after an applicant has been given a letter of intent.
