The City of Cleveland was awarded a $549,998 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Criminal and Juvenile Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program (CFDA 16.745) to support their efforts to modernize the city's 911 system and improve responses to mental health crisis calls. The key activities funded include hiring clinician dispatchers, providing mental health training to all dispatchers, and purchasing data collection software for information sharing among partner agencies. The goal is to ensure the most appropriate and successful response to mental health and behavioral health crisis calls for service in the City of Cleveland. The 3-year project period runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026. The City of Cleveland's Division of Police is partnering with the local mental health agency Frontline Services on this initiative.
