Tus tswv xeev Newsom tshaj tawm $ 3.3 nphom hauv Bond BHCIP Projects​​ 

DHCS today awarded $3.3 billion in competitive grant funding through the Bond Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) Round 1: Launch Ready awards. This historic investment is funding 124 projects across 42 counties to create or expand 214 behavioral health facilities across California. This investment will result in 5,077 new residential treatment beds and 21,882 new outpatient slots for mental health and substance use disorder treatment, bringing essential behavioral health services closer to the Californians who need them most.

Backed by California voters through Proposition 1, this funding is a critical step in building a more responsive, community-based behavioral health system that brings treatment closer to communities, reduces emergency room visits, expands local access to care, and supports Californians in crisis.
