Year-to-Date Budget Summary
PURPOSE: To approve Budget Amendment #11-B to provide grant funding for the two-year
Mobile Crisis Pilot: the Crisis Assistance, Response and Engagement (CARE) Team, in
collaboration with Alliance Healthcare and the Town of Chapel Hill.
BACKGROUND: Orange County in collaboration with the Chapel Hill Police Department, is
conducting a two-year-long Mobile Crisis Pilot program with the mission to provide a more
appropriate response to certain 911 calls. The Crisis Assistance, Response and Engagement
(CARE) Team consists of a Crisis Counselor embedded in the 911 Call Center and a mobile team
that includes a Crisis Counselor, an Emergency Medical Technician and a Peer Support
Specialist. The unarmed Team will respond immediately in lieu of law enforcement to behavioral
health and low level, non-violent offense 911 calls as designated by the Chapel Hill Police
Department and the 911 Call Center. The program seeks to increase therapeutic interventions
and direction to resources while ensuring the safest and best immediate response.
The two-year Pilot phase will initially serve only Chapel Hill 911 calls and includes an evaluation
of the Pilot being conducted by UNC's School of Government Criminal Justice Innovation Lab.
The CARE Team was established in March 2024 and launched officially in collaboration with the
911 Call Center on May 6, 2024. Between the CARE Team's official start on May 6t" and June
3rd, the mobile team has responded to 213 events and 57 individuals who would have otherwise
required a law enforcement response. The goal for the CARE Team is to be operational county-
wide in Fiscal Year 2025-26 with the participation of all law enforcement agencies.
The CARE team Fiscal Year 2023-24 funding was previously approved as a joint commitment
between the County and the Town of Chapel Hill. Fiscal Year 2024-25 funding was recommended
