Overview
Mission
To partner with individuals, families and the community to provide recovery-focused, trauma-informed, integrated primary and behavioral healthcare and to promote wellness, resiliency and hope for positive change.
What it reported doing in 2018
DMHAS Fee for Services programs provide to adults Outpatient, Partial Care, Residential, Integrated Case Management and Program in Assertive Community Treatment. The State of New Jersey now pays these services previously paid by contract under the Fee for Service reimbursement system.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 68% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The required major-donor schedule is missing or incomplete and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
