The funding is designed to support a critical infrastructure project that will enhance support services for survivors of trauma, with the appropriation becoming effective on July 1, 2025. By creating additional physical space and resources, the bill seeks to improve mental health treatment and support for vulnerable populations who have experienced sexual and domestic violence.
