The California Department of Health Care Services under its Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program awarded the grant last month to help fund a 30-bed, stand-alone facility adjacent to Pathway House, the nonprofit's residential substance-use treatment center in downtown San Jose.
This is the fifth round of grants and its focus was determined in part by a statewide needs assessment last year that found significant gaps in the availability of crisis services and advocated for continuing such services to help reduce emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and incarceration.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
