SACRAMENTO — The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) is expanding residential services to treat substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health needs at two sites across California. Friends of the Mission hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for Walter’s House II, which will provide substance use disorder treatment for adults in Yolo County. Aspiranet hosted a groundbreaking for the Central Valley Transition Aged Youth (TAY) Independence Program, which will provide a short-term residential therapeutic program and a substance use disorder outpatient treatment facility for youth ages 15 to 19.​​ 

DHCS awarded Friends of the Mission $12.4 million and Aspiranet $8.7 million through the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP), which is part of California’s ongoing commitment to expand behavioral health services for all Californians. With the passage of Proposition 1, even more behavioral health treatment facilities will be funded and built in 2025 and 2026.​​ 

“DHCS is pleased to work with our community partners to expand robust, community-based behavioral health services,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “Facilities like these are a vital component of California’s efforts to bring high-quality, holistic mental health and substance use disorder care to rural and underserved communities.”​​ 

WALTER’S HOUSE II PROJECT: Friends of the Mission’s Walter’s House II provides care in the most appropriate and least restrictive settings to support community integration, choice, and autonomy while reducing homelessness. Walter’s House II currently has 44 residential beds for substance use disorder treatment for adults in Yolo County. The project will provide an additional 16 new beds, for a total bed count of 60. The facility will operate 24 hours per day, seven days per week, with qualified staff and clinicians. The program is Drug Medi-Cal approved for low- and high-intensity clinical services, including individuals with co-occurring mental health disorders. The new facility is also designed to support withdrawal management services and medication-assisted treatment.​​ 

“At Walter’s House II, we believe that every individual deserves a second chance,” said Doug Zeck, Executive Director of Walter’s House II. “With the opening of our new residential substance use disorder treatment facility, we are providing a place to heal and creating a community of support and hope. Together, we can empower lives and transform futures.”​​

ASPIRANET’S CENTRAL VALLEY TAY INDEPENDENCE PROGRAM: Central Valley TAY Independence Program will be a youth-centered, trauma-informed, individualized, results-oriented project designed specifically to assist system-involved youth between ages 15 to 19. The project will include a short-term residential therapeutic program with 12 new beds and a new substance use disorder outpatient treatment facility that is expected to serve another 60 individuals annually. Outpatient mental health and substance use disorder services will include traditional individual therapy and innovative supports and services, such as contingency management, Full Service Partnerships, mentoring, independent living skills programming, and other wellness resources.​​ 

“Aspiranet’s vision is to utilize BHCIP funding to re-purpose and expand a facility that will provide much-needed residential and behavioral health services and supports to the region’s most vulnerable youth,” said Vernon Brown, Chief Executive Officer of Aspiranet.​​

이 조치가 중요한 이유: DHCS는 BHCIP를 통해 자격을 갖춘 기관에 자금을 지원하여, 정신 건강 치료와 약물 사용 장애가 동시에 필요한 사람들을 위한 지역사회 기반 행동 건강 치료 옵션을 더욱 확대하기 위해 시설을 신축, 매입 및 확장하고 이동형 위기 대응 인프라에 투자할 수 있도록 합니다. BHCIP는 도움이 필요한 사람들의 전 생애에 걸쳐 증가하는 서비스 및 지원 수요를 충족하기 위해, 행동 건강 관리 시스템에 존재해 온 오랜 격차를 해소하고 있습니다.​​ 

DHCS has awarded $1.7 billion in BHCIP competitive grants. In addition, DHCS will distribute up to $4.4 billion in competitive Bond BHCIP funding, including $3.3 billion for Round 1: Launch Ready grants as part of Behavioral Health Transformation, DHCS’ work to implement Proposition 1. DHCS holds regular public listening sessions on this effort. Updates and recordings of the sessions are available on the Behavioral Health Transformation webpage.​​ 

ABOUT BHCIP ROUND 3: LAUNCH READY:​​  BHCIP Round 3 supported preparation activities to plan for the acquisition and expansion of behavioral health infrastructure throughout the state. The 45 facilities were funded a total of $518.5 million to construct, acquire, and rehabilitate real estate assets to expand the behavioral health continuum of treatment and service resources. BHCIP applicants were required to demonstrate service expansion for Medi-Cal members and have a valid planning process to ensure projects are ready for implementation.​​

BIGGER PICTURE: Under Governor Gavin Newsom, California is modernizing the behavioral health delivery system to improve accountability, increase transparency, and expand the capacity of behavioral health care facilities for Californians. Proposition 1, which was passed by voters in May 2024, includes a $6.4 billion Behavioral Health Bond for treatment settings and housing with services and a historic reform of the Behavioral Health Services Act to focus on people with the most serious illnesses, substance use disorders, and housing needs.
