Explanation
(This amendment provides $400,000 from the general fund in the second year to establish two new regional community support centers. The centers, patterned after the regional center located at the Northern Virginia Training Center, will provide services that are unavailable in local communities including, but not limited to, dental services, behavioral health services, psychiatric care, program coordination, and clinic services. It is estimated that, on average, 400 individuals will be served through each center.)
