Governor Glenn Youngkin recently announced three new grant awards that will continue to expand access to specialized crisis services for Virginians experiencing behavioral health emergencies. The funding will support the development of crisis receiving centers (CRCs) and crisis stabilization units (CSUs) across the Commonwealth.

This Fairfax-Falls Church CSB will receive $6.5 million to expand community-based crisis services in coordination with two other existing adult CSUs. With combined state and local funding, the board will open a new adult CRC and develop a separate youth site offering a CRC, CSU, and acute substance use detox and residential services.

The awards are part of Virginia’s Right Help, Right Now Behavioral Health Plan. Alleghany Highlands Community Services Board and Rappahannock Area Community Services Board will also receive grants.
