Increased Medicaid Support for Individuals with Serious Mental Illness

This act aims to increase federal funding for states that provide intensive community-based services for adults with serious mental illness. This will allow more individuals to receive support outside of hospitals, improving their daily functioning and preventing unnecessary hospitalizations. The act also seeks to ensure continuity of care for young adults after they turn 21.
