Bernalillo County, New Mexico, To Launch Two Behavioral Health Initiatives

On December 13, 2016, the Bernalillo County Board of Commissioners approved plans to launch two new behavioral health initiatives: mobile crisis teams and a supportive housing program. The mobile crisis team will cost the county about $500,000 annually. The scattered site supportive housing program contract will cost the county about $1.2 million annually. Both initiatives will be funded by the Bernalillo County Behavioral Health Tax.

Additional details about the two initiatives were included in the Bernalillo County Board of Commissioners Meeting Agenda Packet. The meeting minutes did not state a target release date for the requests for proposals . . .
