Grant for Public Safety and Mental Health Service Networks

Supports coordinated, cross-system service networks that address untreated mental illness and substance use disorders to reduce the burden on law enforcement and the justice system. Funded projects must establish or enhance Crisis Stabilization Centers, comprehensive mental health and substance use treatment services, and electronic health record systems to improve data sharing and continuity of care. The initiative emphasizes civil commitment pathways, institutional care, and step-down approaches from pre-arrest through community reentry.
