OMNI Kudos to Virginia Beach for Their Follow-Up Rate

In 2022, we have been sharing some shout-outs about CSBs or Agencies that are doing well with their intakes, follow-ups, engaging and supporting clients, and/or those that demonstrate a "spirit of inquiry" when engaging with our TA Team on GPRA administration issues.

This month, we’d like to highlight Virginia Beach CSB. Throughout 2022, Virginia Beach’s follow-up rate has consistently been at or above 70%. In June, their follow-up rate was an impressive 83%! This is higher than SAMHSA’s required 80% follow-up GPRA rate, with only “interview” follow-up GPRAs counting towards it. Great job, Virginia Beach! Thank you for all your hard work in ensuring the impact of SOR-funded services on clients receiving treatment is better captured.

The non-Federal entity must disclose in writing any potential conflict of interest to the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity in accordance with applicable Federal awarding agency policy. Failure to adhere to these statues will result in immediate termination of funding.
