What Are Behavioral Health Investments? 

Investments include capital for start-up and operational costs which support:

  • Community-based residential treatment facilities. These are higher levels of care for individuals with serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI) or substance use disorder (SUD).
  • Community-based housing with appropriate support services for individuals with SPMI. This housing supports independent living.
