The grant will finance new outpatient and inpatient services at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, according to the city’s website. The expansion will include 12 inpatient beds and a 24-slot intensive outpatient program. 

The new facilities are projected to care for a minimum of 450 people requiring inpatient care and 900 outpatient care individuals. 

A timeline for construction will be decided in early 2023. 

San Francisco was one of 54 awardees in the state that received grants from CDHS for behavioral health services.

At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
