## Summary

**Would create a federal loan and loan-guarantee program to build, renovate, and upgrade facilities that treat mental health and substance use disorders.** It would also establish a Treasury trust fund to capture net program revenues for community mental health block grants. - Families and children: At least 25 percent of annual awards would be set aside for facilities that serve pediatric and adolescent populations, aiming to expand beds and services for young people. - Rural and underresourced communities: Projects that expand psychiatric or substance use disorder capacity in counties with insufficient care or that serve high-need rural areas would get priority, including funding for telehealth and integrated services. - Providers and hospitals: Eligible entities could use loans or guarantees for planning, construction, renovation, digital upgrades, or adding and converting inpatient psychiatric and SUD beds. Borrowers would need at least 25 percent nonfederal financing and loans would have a maximum final maturity of 20 years or 50 percent of the asset’s useful life. *The program would cap total loans and loan guarantees at $200 million per year for FY2026–2030 and would deposit net program revenues into a Mental Health and Substance Use Treatment Trust Fund for community mental health block grants.*
