Bill > A3675

This bill requires the Department of Human Services (DHS) to establish a five-year pilot program to facilitate the coordinated provision of systemic, therapeutic, assessment, resource, and treatment (START) services to adults who have both developmental disabilities and mental illness. The program aims to promote the mental stability and community-based living of these eligible adults, while providing them with therapeutic respite and stabilization services to prevent or address crisis situations. The bill outlines the specific services and components of the pilot program, including crisis response, therapeutic respite homes, and individualized crisis management and stabilization planning. It also requires the Commissioner of Human Services to submit annual and final reports on the program's implementation and effectiveness.
