Intensive Community Support Services are provided by specialists who have a direct involvement with the person receiving services and are designed to be a key part of the continuum of mental health services and supports for people with serious mental illness. Mississippi is providing funding for 35 ICSS specialists throughout the state. These services are similar to targeted case management, but they maintain lower client to staff ratios and provide services primarily in the community instead of office settings. In FY21, Regions 3, 6, 9, and 10 each received grants for two ICSS, and Region 11 received a grant for four additional ICSS. Each county in Mississippi now has access to intensive community services through either one or more PACT, ICORT, or ICSS service. In FY21, 938 people received services through ICSS. In FY22, 1,054 people received services through ICSS.
