Senate Bill 407 mandates the Department of Health Services (DHS) to provide a one-time grant to Rogers Behavioral Health for the construction of an integrated mental health facility in the Chippewa Valley region during the fiscal year 2025-26. This facility will include a crisis stabilization unit, a residential treatment center, a partial hospitalization/intensive outpatient program, and supportive living arrangements, aimed at offering a comprehensive continuum of care for adolescents and adults facing mental health challenges. The grant will only be awarded if Rogers Behavioral Health submits a letter of intent and proof of land acquisition for the facility.

Additionally, the bill creates a new appropriation account to support this grant program while repealing the previous version of the grant program under section 20.435 (5) (bk). The new language establishes the framework for the grant program, ensuring that the funds are allocated specifically for the integrated mental health facility as outlined. The repeal of the previous grant program will take effect on July 1, 2027, allowing for a transition to the new provisions.
