The 24,000-square-foot, $26 million facility will feature a 7,000-square-foot plaza, the report said. A peer-run day center within the center will open in the fall, and a 33-bed shelter will open next year.

“This center says we are going to address the issues of mental health and homelessness in a comprehensive way,” U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley 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.
