This report describes the State’s progress since June 2020. Information reflected in this third SME report is derived from calls with State Leadership and team leads, including calls with topical workgroup leads, and a thorough review of documents, spreadsheets, policies, memoranda, logic models, and other information provided by the State (detailed in Appendices A and B). As the COVID- 19 pandemic progressed and as the workgroups focused on developing logic models to guide their work, the SME had more limited interaction with team leads and staff. However, we wish to acknowledge the willingness of West Virginia to make staff available even as other responsibilities weighed upon the State.

In April 2014, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) launched an investigation into the State of West Virginia’s system for delivering services and supports to children with serious mental health conditions. The DOJ found that West Virginia has not complied with Section II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and, as a result, many children with serious mental health conditions are needlessly removed from their homes to access treatment. In a May 14, 2019 Memorandum of Agreement (Agreement), DOJ recognized West Virginia’s commitment to providing services, programs, and activities to qualified children in the most integrated, least restrictive environment. The Agreement requires West Virginia to build upon this commitment by offering home- and community- based services (HCBS) to all qualified children and to reduce the number of children in residential mental health treatment facilities.
