The contracts, which were formed with three different providers, will be funded entirely from a $3.5 million Colorado Department of Human Services grant the county received earlier in the year. 

The contracts will focus on keeping county residents with mental health needs out of jail and area hospitals, along with addressing homelessness, the report said.

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.
