NIGP 95262: Mental Health Services: Vocational, Residential, etc.

NIGP 95262 Mental Health Services: Vocational, Residential, Etc., an Item code, covers residential crisis stabilization, crisis respite housing, perinatal support services, and community-based behavioral health stabilization programs that state and local governments are actively procuring to address acute mental health crises and support individuals transitioning from institutional or emergency settings. The work spans transitional housing models (ranging from 6-8 crisis respite beds to up to 50-bed interim shelter programs), perinatal housing and stabilization services including case management and benefits enrollment, and short-term residential interventions lasting 90 to 120 days designed to prevent unnecessary hospitalization and jail involvement. Issuing bodies include county behavioral health departments, local mental health authorities, and regional health systems across multiple states. My Health My Resources of Tarrant County (MHMR) in Texas, Solano County Department of Health and Social Services in California, Trinity County in California, San Mateo County Health in California, and Clackamas County in Oregon represent recent active buyers under this code, signaling consistent demand from county-level behavioral health systems in the West and South.
