The facility will offer outpatient behavioral health services and immediate coordination and referral of healthcare needs as well as access to therapy for those living at the shelter, according to an April 28 news release. It will be constructed from cost-effective, long-lasting, easily movable shipping containers.
Patients of the facility will have access to supportive transitional housing and receive physical healthcare as well.
The center was made possible by an over $1 million grant from the state of Washington.
