Description
This grant supports the operation of voluntary, short-term crisis residential programs for adults (18+) diagnosed with a Serious Mental Illness (SMI) who are experiencing behavioral health crises or significant life challenges. The program provides a safe, recovery-oriented environment in a community-based residential setting, offering crisis intervention, 24-hour supervision, assessment, counseling, medication management, and aftercare planning. Grantees are expected to coordinate with local providers, crisis response teams, hospitals, and first responders to ensure continuity of care, with the goal of diverting individuals from inpatient hospitalization or supporting step-down transitions from higher levels of care.
