How to spend $1.1 million in behavioral health housing funds
Only $1.1 million is actually available for behavioral health housing capital projects — not the $3.3 million previously reported. Community input favored fixing up existing facilities over building new, and the board agreed, with bridge housing for 55 people needing to be sustained.
