Sponsored By: Representative Rep. Smith, Adam [D-WA-9]

Summary

Creates federal grants to build unarmed mobile crisis response teams that 911 systems would dispatch for nonviolent mental health, substance use, homelessness, and related social-service calls instead of law enforcement. The teams would respond in groups of two or more, provide de-escalation, screening, trauma-informed and culturally competent care, and when needed transport people to alternative destinations for immediate treatment.

Grants for unarmed 911 crisis teams

If enacted, the government would give grants to states, localities, and Tribal governments to set up unarmed mobile crisis teams. These teams would handle nonviolent 911 calls instead of police. Programs would send at least two unarmed professionals and arrive quickly. They would screen, de-escalate, refer to services, and transport people to needed care. They could coordinate with health, housing, and social services and would not be under police oversight. The bill would define which calls are nonviolent and who can serve as an unarmed responder, and list acceptable care destinations that are not ERs or jails. Any funded program could not discriminate based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. Applicants that do not meet every rule could get a smaller grant.

Upgrade 911 for nonviolent crisis help

If enacted, grants could pay to hire unarmed responders and 911 telecommunicators. Funds could train staff to spot mental health, disability, and addiction crises, de‑escalate, and connect people to care, with multilingual and culturally competent services. Grants could upgrade 911 to sort nonviolent calls from those needing police, build call‑taker training, and set up dispatch with 9‑8‑8. Applicants would need a plan to train 911 call‑takers on when to send unarmed teams. Grantees would report every six months on calls diverted, who they helped, response times, outcomes, and costs, and HHS would send summary reports to Congress.
