A. Program Description
1. Summary
HSI needs to enhance its administrative infrastructure to meet ever-increasing compliance and regulatory demands. The existing administrative structure must manage the heavy volume of clients we receive to properly file these claims. In addition to administrative support, HSI will enhance the efficiency of its electronic health records system (EHR). A new hire and projected revenue will enhance our sustainability efforts, improve outputs and outcomes, and increase our reach in the community. The Gen Z Mental Health Ambassador program will continue to engage youth in mental health, substance disorder, trauma, mindfulness and cognitive behavior discussions.
2. Funding Priorities or Focus Areas
IDHS is working to counteract systemic racism and inequity, and to prioritize and maximize diversity throughout its service provision process. This work involves addressing existing institutionalized inequities, aiming to create transformation, and operationalizing equity and racial justice. It also focuses on the creation of a culture of inclusivity for all regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or ability.
3. Authorizing Statutes or Regulations
- 59 Ill. Admin, Code 132 (Rule 132), Section 132.150g
- Mental Health Community Services Act (405 ILCS 30/ Section (f))
- Illinois Administrative Code Part 7000 Grant Accountability and Transparency Act
- Public Act 103-0006, Section 675, Page 540
4. Project Description
Habilitative Systems, Inc. (HSI) is a nationally recognized and accredited behavioral health and human services agency that seeks to further develop a continuum of care model to enhance much-needed programs for underserved populations and people living with an array of health and human service needs. Headquartered on the west-side of Chicago, HSI has provided supportive programs to Chicago's most disadvantaged and vulnerable residents since 1978 and provides services to over 7,000 people annually in the North Lawndale, West Garfield, Austin, Humboldt Park, and Englewood communities.
HSI also proposes to enhance its Urban Behavioral Health Services Institute (UBHSI) to build its administrative capacity to address Health Disparities, Trauma and Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) in Chicago's Impoverished Communities. As a Historically Black Community Based Organization (HBCBO), this funding will also enable HSI to support other grass roots HBCBOs and create greater access to care. The range of treatment services vary in level of intensity; and may address a variety of needs, including, but not limited to, problem resolution, situational stressors, family relations, housing, interpersonal relationships, behavior management, mental health issues, life span issues, psychiatric illnesses, and/or other trauma (s). Providing training in these areas assure the needed impact at the community-based level to impact recidivism. With such a large presence in several communities spanning the Chicagoland area, HSI is dependent upon technology to ensure quality and efficient service delivery to its clients. Currently, each agency site has its own in-house network system without the capability to share data information across multiple platforms. HSI needs to enhance its administrative infrastructure to meet ever-increasing compliance and regulatory demands. Furthermore, HSI completed its readiness assessment for Value-Based Care, and contracts with numerous Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) to accept Medicare and Medicaid payments. The existing administrative structure must manage the heavy volume of clients we receive to properly file these claims. In addition to administrative support, HSI will enhance the efficiency of its electronic health records system (EHR). Consequently, the new hire and projected revenue will enhance our sustainability efforts, improve outputs and outcomes, and increase our reach in the community. Our Gen Z Mental Health Ambassador program will continue to engage youth in mental health, substance disorder, trauma, mindfulness and cognitive behavior discussions. Habilitative Systems, Inc. team members and partners will bring their experience with technical support to community providers and work to insulate small community-based organizations with tested and proven evidence-based practices in providing resources to address the trauma and the needs incurred from the violence that affects their communities.

Indirect Cost Requirements and Restrictions
- In order to charge indirect costs to this grant, the applicant organization must have a Federal or State annually negotiated indirect cost rate agreement (NICRA) or must elect to use the De Minimis Rate.
- Every organization that receives a state award must make an indirect cost rate proposal or election in the State of Illinois Grantee Portal, Centralized Indirect Cost Rate Election System, including organizations that are choosing not to claim payment for indirect costs.
- Indirect Cost Rate Election:
- Federally Negotiated Rate: Organizations that receive direct federal funding may have an indirect cost rate that was negotiated with the Federal Cognizant Agency. Illinois will accept the federally negotiated rate. The organization must provide a copy of the federal NICRA and submit an Indirect Cost Rate Proposal in the Illinois Centralized Indirect Cost Rate System.
- State Negotiated Rate: The organization must negotiate an indirect cost rate with the State of Illinois by completing an indirect cost rate proposal in the Illinois Centralized Indirect Cost Rate System if they do not have a Federally Negotiated Rate and would like to negotiate a rate with the State of Illinois.
- De Minimis Rate: An organization may elect a De Minimis rate of 10% of modified total direct cost (MTDC)**. Once established, the De Minimis rate may be used indefinitely. If programs elect to use the De Minimis rate, it is critical that program budgets accurately calculate the MTDC base. Please see the regulation below and note the exclusions to MTDC.
**2 CFR § 200.68 Modified Total Direct Cost (MTDC). MTDC means all direct salaries and wages, applicable fringe benefits, materials and supplies, services, travel, and subawards and subrecipient s up to the first $25,000 of each subaward or subcontractor (regardless of the period of performance of the subawards and subrecipients under the award). MTDC excludes equipment, capital expenditures, charges for patient care, rental costs, tuition remission, scholarships and fellowships, participant support costs and the portion of each subaward and subcontractor in excess of $25,000. Other items may only be excluded when necessary to avoid a serious inequity in the distribution of indirect costs, and with the approval of the cognizant agency for indirect costs.
5. Registration in CSA
The Community Service Agreements (CSA) Tracking System is the system the IDHS utilizes for approving budgets and issuing grant awards. It is strongly recommended that if an applicant entity is not already registered in the CSA Tracking System, they should begin the registration as soon as possible so they may submit a signed budget in CSA.
