Local Planning
As part of Hill Country MHDD’s Local Planning process, we create two local planning documents regularly.
Consolidated Local Service Plan:
The Consolidated Local Service Plan (CLSP) encompasses all of the service planning requirements for Hill Country MHDD as a Local Mental Health Authority. The CLSP has three sections: Local Services and Needs, the Psychiatric Emergency Plan, and Plans and Priorities for System Development. Local planning is a collaborative activity, and the CLSP asks for information related to community stakeholder involvement in planning. Stakeholder input is an on-going activity, and input received will be reflected in the CLSP.

Local Provider Network Development Plan:
Hill Country MHDD Centers develops a Local Provider Network Development Plan regarding the configuration and development of its mental health provider network. The plan reflects the local needs and priorities while maximizing choice and access to qualified service providers for the people we serve. The goal of this process and plan is for the Center to incorporate strategies to ensure continuous access to services while the Center increasingly expands the network of providers. The desired outcome is for individuals in services to have choice from among multiple service providers and for the Center to provide management and oversight of the provider network. The extent to which this goal can be achieved and how quickly it can be reached will depend on the circumstances, needs, and preferences of the local communities served by the Center.

Understanding Our Community Needs
At Hill Country MHDD, we believe that strong services start with listening. Our Needs Assessment helps us understand the strengths, gaps, and priorities of the communities we serve across 19 counties. It guides how we plan, grow, and respond to the evolving mental health, substance use, and intellectual and developmental disability needs in our region.
