Plain-English Summary

The federal government would fund a five-year test program that gives grants to organizations providing intensive mental health and substance abuse treatment to people involved in the criminal justice system who have serious mental illnesses. These "forensic assertive community treatment" teams would work with individuals in their communities rather than institutions, aiming to reduce incarceration and improve outcomes for this vulnerable population. The program would help expand these specialized services to more areas across the country.
