This $1,500,000 Project Grant awarded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under the Congressional Directives program (CFDA 93.493) will enable Kent County's Community Mental Health Authority, Network180, to launch a continuum of innovative crisis mental health and substance use disorder services. The cornerstone of this effort is the establishment of a first-of-its-kind Behavioral Health Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) in Grand Rapids, MI. The CSU will provide a secure, high-intensity alternative to psychiatric hospitalization, capable of delivering involuntary treatment and accepting direct drop-offs from law enforcement. The CSU will be jointly operated by Network180 and Trinity Health's St. Mary's Hospital. This federal grant award, with a performance period from September 30, 2024 to September 29, 2025, aims to fill a critical community need by enhancing access to specialized crisis mental health and substance abuse services in Kent County.
