She <br /> said the Navigators will now also be able to get benefits. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if the Navigators will still be recruited from the <br /> neighborhoods, and be a grassroots effort. <br /> Quintana Stewart said yes, the only difference is that they will be County employees. <br /> Commissioner Bedford asked if it is possible to get a copy of the report on behavioral <br /> health services. <br /> Quintana Stewart said she is scheduled to present this to the Board of County <br /> Commissioners in the near future, and will get this information soon. <br /> Travis Myren said the analysis is done, and awaiting approval of the cover letter. He <br /> said it is a different population than the Criminal Justice report, but there are similar gaps. <br />
