The funding will provide awards of up to $5 million to be used for the design, property acquisition and construction costs. Eligible facilities for the funding include freestanding Article 31 psychiatric hospitals and Article 28 licensed general hospitals.
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.
