SCDMH Columbia Mental Health Center contracts for independent housing services for up to 8 of its clients via the Kiva Program owned by Mental Health American. KIVA has the unique blend of clinical experience and day to day relationships with this particular client group that SCDMH has not identified in other non-profits. This rural setting provides a less stimulating environment for the clients which helps meet their needs. KIVA provides unique hospital to community programming, resources, and continuity of care that allows a seamless transition of these patients to this more independent living arrangement. For the above listed reasons, Mental Health America is the only suitable and acceptable offeror to provide these services in the location required by the Mental Health Center. Estimated annual expenditures of $120,000.
