Corona, Calif.-based Signature Healthcare Services and Redding, Calif.-based Arch Collaborative plan to submit a grant application Oct. 28 for a $200 million behavioral health campus in Northern California, according to an Oct. 27 report from Shasta Scout. The move comes days after Shasta County officials issued a letter opposing the project, citing concerns over cost and scope that project leaders say are unfounded.
- The project, known as the True North Campus, seeks $150 million in Proposition 1 state funds and includes a $50 million contribution from Signature, a private operator of 19 behavioral health facilities across the U.S.
- If awarded, the project would represent a $200 million investment and add 72 beds and 32 client chairs for behavioral health and substance use disorder treatment, creating an estimated 200 new healthcare jobs.
- Christy Coleman, director of Shasta County’s Health and Human Services and three county supervisors signed a letter opposing the project, but Signature and Arch said the application does not require her support under the grant rules.
- The proposed facility includes a crisis stabilization unit with 12 chairs — eight for adults and four for youth — 16 beds for short-term social rehabilitation, 16 beds for inpatient psychiatric care and a 20-client partial hospitalization/intensive outpatient program.
- The proposal is backed by more than 40 individuals and organizations, including local law enforcement and hospital leaders. State funding decisions are expected in spring 2026.
