Sources of
Information: OMHIIS, JPHSA and PIP. Persons served unduplicated within and across programs.
Special Issues: This is a new indicator for the state. The initial data collected will be used as a baseline.
Currently, this data is primarily ascertained at admission only; and therefore, the impact of
treatment at an OMH facility is not being captured. FY 2010 Actual = 1,293/ 44,228 X100 = 2.9%
Significance: Measuring the number of adults with serious mental illness who are homeless or in shelters will
assist in developing resources to provide adequate housing opportunities for individuals, a
significant component of the Recovery movement.
Action Plan: The reporting of this information at each re-assessment/ update or discharge will need to be
emphasized in order to give meaning to this Indicator. The Block Grant indicators are
monitored through the Committee on Programs and Services of the Louisiana Mental Health
Planning Council. The Planning Council Committee on Programs and Services is responsible for
monitoring and evaluation of the mental health system and for recommending service system
improvements to the Council. Housing stability is an important issue that warrants a high
priority.
