"Q. Out of this appropriation, $2,500,000 the first year from the general fund shall be provided for one-time start-up costs to establish a crisis receiving center in Prince William County."



Explanation

(This amendment provides $2.5 million from the general fund in fiscal year 2023 only to establish a crisis receiving center (CRC) in Prince William County. CRCs provide a more comprehensive response than crisis assessment centers or crisis stabilization units, because they operate on a 23/7 basis to avert behavioral health crises thus decreasing the role of law enforcement and reducing overreliance on institutional care including state hospitals.)
