Abstract
This implementation plan provides an outline of future goals and priorities for mental health and addictions services in Lane County 2009-2011. Planning for the future is an important task, yet it is especially complicated at this time as Lane County, like many other Oregon counties, are preparing for significant funding cuts due to the uncertainty of the Secure Rural Schools (federal timber) funds. Lane County is facing a 26.7% reduction in the General Fund due to this cut in revenue. These funds represent approximately $40 million or 12% of the total budget and have been appropriated to support public safety, public health and welfare, and other general operating expenses. Preparing for the uncertain future of our county funding adds to the complexity of planning for mental health and addictions services. Despite the unknown, and perhaps because of it, it is clear this is the time to connect resources and creativity to better serve the people in our community. This plan reflects a summary of a collaborative planning process which contributed to the identification of countywide priorities and key strategies in the mental health and addictions fields.
