A proposal to allocate $100 million in federal funds to pay for adult mental health programs passed the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.
A proposal to allocate $100 million in federal funds to pay for adult mental health programs easily passed the Pennsylvania House of Representatives on Wednesday, a plan built on the recommendations of a state commission charged with issuing suggestions for coordinated care.
The American Rescue Plan Act money would bolster the behavioral health industry's workforce, improve the criminal justice and public safety systems and expand access to support. The measure stems from the effort that began last session when the Legislature created the Behavioral Health Commission on Adult Mental Health. The 24 members — from the behavioral health field, state agencies and a variety of communities — were told to determine how to divvy up federal funds designated for such uses.
