How it got here
The legislation originated from the need to secure funding for a dual diagnosis residential treatment facility in San Francisco, prompted by state-level initiatives and local assessments of behavioral health needs.
California voters approved Proposition 1, which authorized state bond funding for the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP).
DHCS released the Request for Applications for up to $3.3 billion in Round 1 of Bond BHCIP funding.
The City acquired the property at 333 7th Street from Baker Places to establish a dual diagnosis residential treatment facility.
In Resolution No. 577-24 (File No. 241097), the Board authorized DPH to apply for grant funds under Bond BHCIP Round 1 for the treatment facility project.
DHCS awarded Bond BHCIP Round 1 grant funds to the City in the amount of $6,337,140 for the project.
The Mayor submitted a resolution to the Board of Supervisors to authorize DPH to enter into a Grant Agreement for the awarded funds.
The Board of Supervisors adopted the resolution authorizing DPH to accept and expend the grant funds.
