Subject: CABQ FCS: We want to hear from you on the Behavioral Health Joint
Strategic Plan!

Dear Community Partners and Stakeholders,

Over the course of the past year, the City and County have been working
collaboratively to build upon various pieces of work around behavioral
health service needs and gaps in the community. In June 2021, The City and
the County published the

q61o%2BTVMx4IRC6GPGeIP8N4rpE2GC1OkVk%2Bb3eVY4U%3D&reserved=0> gap analysis
on current and needed services for behavioral health and housing. The work
of the assessment included convening community partners and city
stakeholders across Albuquerque, surveying residents to learn more about the
key issues facing the health and safety of Albuquerque's communities. In
January 2022, the City and County released the "
<https://www.cabq.gov/family/documents/coa_gap-analysis-addendum-final-03.pd
f> System Gap Analysis Addendum," which includes updated estimates for the
number of people who need services as well as the estimated costs to provide
these services.

To inform the Joint Strategic Plan, the City of Albuquerque and Bernalillo
County also facilitated a Community Member Feedback Forum and a Community
Provider Feedback Forum that were held in January of 2022. Additionally, a
community survey was distributed to solicit further input and information.
The survey was open between December 20, 2021 and February 28, 2022.
Surveys were distributed to listservs and posted online. We are excited to
announce that the public survey results and the community forum analysis are
now available for review at

City, County, and State partners have joined together to develop a joint
strategic plan to direct the development of services and support of our
community over the next two years. This work builds on our public
involvement work mentioned above. We are interested in hearing feedback from
the community on what is needed to better support individuals in our
communities and to support the development of a timeline for actionable
items. 

We want input from the community about behavioral health and to gather
further input around the proposed draft plan. We will be soliciting feedback
through Monday, July 4, 2022. It is our vision to enable healthy communities
that thrive, communities where people are connected, supported, safe, and
well. In order to support our city's growth and to reach this vision, we
need to know the ways behavioral health and public safety affect you and
your feedback on these topics.

Please review the draft strategic plan and provide your feedback via the
following email:  <mailto:bh-strategicplan at cabq.gov>
bh-strategicplan at cabq.gov.

We appreciate the support and patience of those championing this work and we
look forward to hearing your feedback!
