The outcome of this activity is documentation of the participant's stated career objective and a career plan used to guide individual employment support.

The Coordinated Children's Services Initiative (CCSI) is an interagency initiative that supports localities in creating a system of care to provide structure and flexibility to ensure that children who are at risk of residential placement remain at home with their families and in their communities. The program exists at a local community level (Tier I), County level (Tier II) and State level (Tier III). These children are most often those with serious emotional disturbance. Principles are based on the Child and Adolescent Services System.

Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds - Several federally funded programs contribute housing assistance specifically targeted to the homeless mentally ill. When funds do not flow through OMH, but are sent directly to the provider, the funds are reported under this program code and funding code 090 (non-funded) on the DMH-3. Federal Programs which fall into this category are Transitional Housing Program (THP), Supported Housing Demonstration Program (SHDP), and some Shelter Plus Care grants. Funds may be used for: the acquisition and/or rehabilitation of a program site; operating expenses; support services; and administrative expenses. These funds flow directly to the not-for-profit provider agencies from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. Nonetheless, OMH requires that any not-for-profit agency in receipt of these funds report the funds in a separate program column with the program code indexed if necessary. These grants are made for five years at a time.

OMH-designated Specialty Mental Health Care Management programs, administered by Specialty Mental Health Care Management Agencies (SMH CMAs), provide services to the Health Home Plus (HH+) population. HH+ is an intensive level of Health Home Care Management provided to defined high-need adult populations with serious mental illness who are enrolled in a Health Home (HH) serving adults. To ensure the intensive needs of these individuals are met, SMH CMs must assure HH+ individuals receive a level of service consistent with the requirements outlined in the Health Home Plus for High-Need Individuals with Serious Mental Illness Program Guidance. The differential monthly rate for HH+ is higher compared to the Health Home High Risk/Need Care Management and Health Home Care Management rates, and is intended to appropriately reimburse for the intense and consistent support needed for this population.
