Department of Mental Health; establish grant program to assist with crisis stabilization unit expenses.
HB 1136 creates a grant program through Mississippi's Department of Mental Health to help local governments cover costs for crisis stabilization units (CSUs). It provides funding for CSU services, facility operations, and facility repairs/upgrades, with a maximum $500,000 grant per project per year. The bill establishes a dedicated "Crisis Stabilization Unit Facilities Fund" in the state treasury, which can carry forward unspent funds annually. Local entities (counties, municipalities, regional commissions) must apply with detailed cost proposals to receive grants. The program takes effect July 1, 2025.
