9–8–8 Community Infrastructure Act

This bill would require the federal Secretary of Health and Human Services to give grants for building and improving facilities that respond to mental health and substance use crises. Eligible recipients include federally funded health centers (including Tribal ones) and crisis call centers or crisis receiving and stabilization facilities that work with local mental health and substance use providers. Grant money could be used to renovate, expand, or build new crisis facilities, and to pay off loans for these projects. The bill authorizes $1 billion for these grants, available until spent.
