The Department of Justice is brainstorming ways to clear homeless encampments and increase involuntary hospitalization, focusing on people with serious mental illness. Fortunately, the federal government already has a resource for people with such conditions: Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics. CCBHCs serve as one-stop shops for people with serious mental illness, providing coordinated physical and specialty behavioral health services. As part of their congressional mandate, the clinics turn no one away, regardless of ability to pay. 

But according to an April 10 document leaked to the media, the White House was considering defunding grants for the CCBHC program. This would have eliminated a crucial lifeline for the seriously mentally ill. 

CCBHCs have been a bipartisan effort. In 2014, Congress and President Obama established the clinics under an eight-state Medicaid demonstration project that launched three years later. In 2020, Congress and President Trump adopted the CARES Act, which expanded the demonstration and provided grant funding for additional CCBHCs. Today, nearly 500 CCBHCs serve 3 million patients across 46 states.
