The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) awarded a $476,949 Project Grant under the Criminal and Juvenile Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program (CFDA 16.745) to the Gulf Coast Center and League City Police Department. The grant will fund the establishment of a Multidisciplinary Response Team (MDRT) in League City, Texas to address the growing issue of mental health crises. The MDRT aims to bridge the gap between clinical expertise and law enforcement resources by assembling a team of highly trained clinicians and officers to provide rapid crisis response, comprehensive assessments, and tailored interventions, including de-escalation techniques and facilitated connections to community-based mental health services. The project, which runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027, is designed to create a more effective and holistic approach to crisis intervention and support services in the League City community.
