Increased Medicaid Funding for Intensive Community Mental Health Services.

This bill increases federal Medicaid funding for states that provide comprehensive, intensive community-based services for adults living with serious mental illness (SMI). The goal is to ensure low-income individuals (up to 150% of the poverty line) can access critical supports like 24/7 mobile crisis intervention, housing assistance, and supported employment. This aims to promote independent living and prevent unnecessary institutionalization.
Key points
New Medicaid services: Includes Assertive Community Treatment, Supported Employment, Peer Support, 24/7 Mobile Crisis Intervention, and housing-related assistance.
Financial incentives for states: States receive increased federal matching funds (up to a 25% boost) based on the variety of intensive services they offer, encouraging broader implementation of high-quality care.
Eligibility: Services target adults (age 21+) with serious mental illness whose income does not exceed 150% of the federal poverty line.
