5 <br /> 1 Chair Bedford said Orange County has been covering parents' share for anyone eligible <br /> 2 for early childhood education and childcare services with American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) <br /> 3 funding. <br /> 4 Commissioner Richards said there are a lot of openings for early childhood staff and <br /> 5 transportation staff as well. <br /> 6 Chair Bedford said the county's goal is for there to be no waitlists and for there to be no <br /> 7 financial barrier for children to have quality childcare. <br /> 8 Representative Price said the other part of the issue is those doing childcare work are <br /> 9 getting really low pay and will likely leave the field if they have opportunities to make more <br /> 10 money elsewhere. <br /> 11 Senator Meyer asked if the Board has an impression of how Alliance is doing. <br /> 12 Chair Bedford said she thinks it's much better. She said Justice United held a meeting <br /> 13 and several Senior Vice Presidents were there to discuss providing more mental health services <br /> 14 in Spanish. She said Alliance staff is very knowledgeable about rapid-rehousing for when <br /> 15 people exit criminal justice system. She said Alliance did a study around five years ago and <br /> 16 determined they would rather do short-term housing with a transition to permanent housing with <br /> 17 supports rather than long-term institutional settings. She said there's a closed group home on <br /> 18 Nash St. in Hillsborough that is being looked at as the future site of a state-owned traumatic <br /> 19 brain injury facility. She also said that some Maintenance of Efforts funds are being monitored <br /> 20 and managed by Alliance with quarterly reports to the county. <br /> 21 Travis Myren said Alliance is very responsive to even case-specific things and are <br /> 22 wonderful to work with. <br /> 23 Representative Price asked about transitioning to the tailored plan. <br /> 24 Chair Bedford said she doesn't know the current status. She said hospitals have been a <br /> 25 barrier because the rates are so low, but individual providers have signed up to provide <br /> 26 services. <br /> 27 Senator Meyer asked if there are conversations with the property owner of the facility on <br /> 28 Nash St. <br /> 29 Representative Price said the idea is for another provider to take over but possibly serve <br /> 30 a different population. <br /> 31 Commissioner Hamilton asked if it was a former mental health group home. <br /> 32 Chair Bedford said yes, but it would be recertified as something different. <br /> 33 Representative Price said the former owner of the facility passed away and family could <br /> 34 not run it. She said they were able to find other places for everyone who lived there to go. She <br /> 35 shared that someone from Alamance County is interested in the facility, but is waiting to see if <br /> 36 they could change who the facility serves. She also said she can also assist if anyone is trying <br /> 37 to get someone placed in a group home. <br /> 38 Chair Bedford said she's glad the county is with Alliance now because at least people <br /> 39 will only have to move to Durham rather than across the state. She also said Commissioner <br /> 40 Hamilton is the new liaison to Alliance. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 <br />
