Investment in 341 additional
spaces supports Gov. Inslee’s 5-year plan to modernize state mental health
systems with more community-based facilities
OLYMPIA, WA – The Washington State Department
of Commerce today announced $39 million in grants to 18 health care
providers across Washington, adding needed spaces to help people with a wide
variety of behavioral health issues. These grant funds will help create 341
additional beds, including providing safe places for people to stay upon
discharge from the state’s two psychiatric hospitals.
The grants align with Gov. Jay Inslee’s five-year plan announced in May
to modernize and transform the state’s mental health care systems by shifting
away from large institutions to smaller, community-based facilities.
”This funding builds
on actions that the Legislature and I have taken over the past several years to
transform behavioral health," Gov. Inslee said. "It will address a fundamental need to grow
capacity for care in community settings, where patients can be closer to families,
friends and support systems.”
The grants were awarded through a
competitive process conducted by Commerce, the Department of Health, the Department
of Social and Health Services, and the Washington State Health Care Authority. The
state’s funds are for construction and equipment costs associated with establishing
the additional facilities, and the projects must maintain them for at least 10
years. The state’s $39 million investment will leverage another $46 million in
total construction investment from other public and private sources.
