Grants for youth crisis stabilization facilities
This bill requires DHS to award grants to organizations to develop and support youth crisis stabilization facilities. Under current law, a youth crisis stabilization facility is a treatment facility with a maximum of eight beds that admits minors to prevent or de-escalate a mental health crisis and avoid admission to a more restrictive setting. Youth crisis stabilization facilities must be certified by DHS to operate.
