The perinatal facility on 3335 Deer Valley Court is jointly funded through the BHCIP DHCS program and the CDSS CCE program while the behavioral health facility on 3840 Deer Valley Court is funded through the DHCS BHBH program.

Below is the contact information for each Director of the two State agencies that are funding these development projects in El Dorado County for HomeCA/Native Directions. As these Directors control the distribution of funds for grants that are in process, these individuals need to be made aware of the poor location for these proposed facilities in Rescue. We encourage you to reach out to each of them and let them know they should be concerned about the projects and request their help to get them moved to more appropriate locations, for both the future patients served, as well as the communities surrounding these facilities.
