It serve adults 18 years and older who are Medi-Cal eligible and have been diagnosed with a serious mental illness that meets medical necessity.

Members may be decompensating, gravely disabled, or unable to care for themselves and meet one of the following criteria: homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness, have a history of criminal justice involvement, have frequent emergency room or crisis contacts, or be at risk of institutionalization. They may also have a history of reluctance to participate in traditional mental health treatment, have had multiple living situations, or a history of involvement in the criminal justice system.
In addition to ARTS, these BHS programs are also part of the FSP: Black Awareness Community Outreach Program (BACOP), Community Corrections, Intensive Case Engagement (ICE), Gaining Older Adult Life Skills (GOALS), Innovative Support Program in Recovery and Engagement (InSPIRE), La Familia, Southeast Asian Recovery Services (SEARS), and Transitional Age Youth (TAY).
Objectives of the ARTS FSP is to facilitate a safe and timely transition from a higher level of care such as a crisis residential facility, psychiatric health facility, or a mental health inpatient hospital, to a community home-like setting. If an ARTS member is at a lower level of care, the goal is to maintain their stability to prevent a potential placement in a higher level of care.
