Description
This grant from the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) supports the development and operation of provider-controlled, 24/7 mental health residential facilities. These programs are designed to facilitate the safe transition of individuals found Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity (NGRI) from State Operated Psychiatric Hospitals into the community. The initiative aims to reduce hospital readmissions, recidivism, and unnecessary lengths of stay at intensive care facilities. Grantees must provide structured reintegration services, comprehensive behavioral health care, and short-term continuous supervision, with a focus on recovery-oriented, equitable, and inclusive programming.
