A $17 million grant from the Department of Health Care Service was approved by the county board of supervisors for the new facility, which will also be funded by a $1 million match from the county.

The facility will include a youth crisis stabilization unit and a family resource center. It isn’t expected to be completed until 2027, the report said.

At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place October 20–22 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.
