## Summary

**This bill would create a five-year pilot to award grants that expand forensic assertive community treatment (FACT) teams** to deliver intensive, around-the-clock mental health, addiction, housing, and vocational services to people with serious mental illness who are involved with the criminal justice system. - People with serious mental illness and recent justice involvement would get small client-to-team ratios, time-unlimited, field-based care and access to psychiatry, substance use treatment, employment supports, and housing assistance. - State and local governments that already run or partner with FACT programs would be eligible for grants and could subgrant funds to nonprofits, licensed mental health agencies, managed care entities, or other providers to scale services. - The bill would require the Department of Health and Human Services to contract with the National Academies for an 18-month study that defines measurable effectiveness metrics, identifies fidelity elements, provides implementation guidance and cost estimates, and analyzes cost savings. The bill authorizes $1.5 million for that study and allows unspecified appropriations for the pilot for FY2027 through FY2032.
