Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) Overview

The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) is providing $2.2 billion in grant funding to construct, acquire, and expand properties and invest in mobile crisis infrastructure related to behavioral health.

DHCS is releasing these funds through six grant rounds targeting various gaps in the state’s behavioral health facility infrastructure.

$163+ million to fund county, city, and tribal
entity behavioral health authorities

  • ($150 million BHCIP; $55 million SAMHSA CRRSAA funds)
  • This grant provides implementation of new and enhanced
    mobile crisis response teams (co-responder teams, behavioral health crisis
    intervention teams).

ROUND 4: CHILDREN AND YOUTH

$480.5 million to fund children and youth-focused facilities

  • Projects will expand treatment and service resources for Californians ages 25 and younger,
    pregnant and postpartum women and their children, and transition-age youth (TAY, ages
    18-25) and their families.

    California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM), and other DHCS efforts to expand
    access to behavioral health care services.
