Auditor finds Mental Health Department fixed all four issues in homeless outreach program
County auditors say DMH's HOME teams now have set response times, written procedures and performance tracking.
County auditors report that the Department of Mental Health has carried out all four recommendations from a 2024 review of its homeless outreach teams, including a two-day deadline for eligibility screenings and five days to begin outreach to referred clients. The Auditor-Controller calls this the first and final follow-up, closing the review.
What happens next
No further follow-up is planned; the review is final.
