San Francisco secured nearly $100 million in Proposition 1 funding to expand behavioral health treatment capacity across three sites, including a project at University of California, San Francisco Health Hyde Hospital.
The funding includes $70.2 million to add 50 locked subacute mental health treatment beds and six acute psychiatric beds at UCSF Health Hyde Hospital, according to a March 12 news release from the city. The project will rehabilitate existing space at the hospital to create new beds for individuals under mental health conservatorship. Crestwood Behavioral Health will operate the locked beds.
Another $14.2 million will support the addition of 44 residential addiction treatment beds at a city-owned behavioral health facility on Treasure Island. The 64,000-square-foot, six-story building will house recovery housing, including 172 existing beds that will be relocated from the former U.S. Navy housing.
San Francisco also received $11.2 million to convert an unused city building into a centralized hub for coordinated behavioral health services and a sobering center.
The city was previously awarded funding for 73 locked and dual-diagnosis treatment beds through the Bond Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program, according to the release.
