## Summary

**Boosts Medicaid funding for intensive community mental health services.** This bill would create a new Medicaid state-plan option that raises the federal match for states that offer a defined set of intensive community-based services for adults with serious mental illness and promotes community care instead of hospitalization or institutionalization. - Adults with serious mental illness: Eligible people would be age 21 or older and have income at or below 150 percent of the poverty line, and could receive services like assertive community treatment, supported employment, peer support, mobile crisis response, intensive case management, and housing-related supports. - States: States that meet quality, integrated-setting, and reporting rules could receive an increased Federal Medical Assistance Percentage. The match boost scales by tiers up to 25 percentage points depending on how many service categories a State offers, and the bill provides $20 million in federal planning grants for States. - Providers and communities: The bill defines staffing and service standards for multidisciplinary teams, 24/7 mobile crisis response, peer specialists, and housing-focused activities to expand community-based capacity. *This bill would increase federal spending by raising the Medicaid matching rate for covered services and by appropriating $20 million for state planning grants.*
