Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill directs the federal government to award grants totaling $11.5 billion annually from 2026 through 2030 to help cities, counties, states, tribal nations, and territories establish or expand "one-stop crisis facilities"—integrated centers that provide behavioral health services, substance use disorder treatment, housing assistance, legal services, and other support in a single location. Eligible recipients can use grant funds to build or renovate facilities, hire and train staff, coordinate with law enforcement and community organizations, and reach vulnerable populations including homeless individuals and youth. The funding is distributed based on population for most categories, with special provisions to ensure Indian Tribes and smaller jurisdictions receive equitable shares. Applicants must develop plans showing how they will involve people with lived experience of mental health crises, prioritize equitable access across cultural and language barriers, and coordinate with existing emergency response systems to divert people away from the criminal justice system toward treatment services.
