Community mental health centers offering direct representative payee programs improve housing stability for individuals with mental illness. All centers providing intensive services should offer these programs to enhance client access and support.

Area of Science:

  • Mental Health Services
  • Social Work
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Representative payee programs are crucial for ensuring basic needs, like housing, for individuals with mental illness, thereby improving community tenure.
  • Community mental health centers (CMHCs) play a vital role in providing support services to this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the availability of representative payee programs within CMHCs.
  • To identify the criteria used by CMHCs for enrolling clients into these programs.

Main Methods:

  • A census survey was conducted among 95 CMHCs contracted with the Illinois Department of Human Services.
  • Survey questions focused on the provision of representative payee programs, their characteristics, and client enrollment criteria.

Main Results:

  • 59% of surveyed CMHCs directly provided representative payee programs.
  • Clients receiving intensive services were more likely to have a representative payee when programs were directly provided by the agency compared to family referrals.
  • Key enrollment criteria included lack of financial skills, rent money, substance abuse, homelessness, and frequent hospitalizations.

Conclusions:

  • CMHCs that directly offer representative payee services demonstrate a higher proportion of clients enrolled in these programs.
  • It is recommended that all CMHCs providing intensive services should directly offer representative payee programs to improve service accessibility.
