The proposed facility is about 24,700 square feet, with the completion date of completing being Dec. 2026, said authorities. The building is set to have a 32-bed, 24-hour residential program that is designed for individuals 18 years or older living with mental disorders.
Officials said the program will provide intensive support and rehabilitative services to help the residents gain skills to become self-sufficient and develop skills to increase and reintegrate back into society.
WellSpace Health, a nonprofit organization, has partnered with Sacramento County to manage the facility to ensure it provides the best care for those who need it, authorities said.
Authorities said the $23.57 million that is needed for the MHRC will come from round three of the State of California's Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program grant.
Officials also said that Sacramento County will provide a required grant that matches $1.98 million, which will come from the County's Patient Care Revenue, with the possibility of $1.5 million to overrun funding.
'The new facility is an essential part of the County's commitment to improving mental health services and addressing the growing need for mental health care across the region, said a spokesperson from Sacramento County. 'By providing a stable and supportive living environment for individuals in recovery, the County is helping to break down barriers to mental health treatment and support.'
