Caps on behavioral health program funds

The law limits what the Oregon Health Authority can spend from certain funds to run this program in 2025–27. It caps spending at $106,387 from specified non-federal behavioral health receipts (not lottery funds). It caps spending at $96,162 from certain federal Medicaid funds. It caps spending at $618,396 from other federal behavioral health funds. These limits only apply to costs for the program in section 1.

New funding to add behavioral health beds

The law creates a Residential Behavioral Health Capacity Program in the Oregon Health Authority starting July 1, 2025. It funds projects to add beds for withdrawal care, residential treatment, and psychiatric inpatient care. The Authority sets funding rules using a statewide needs report and input from regional partners and practitioners. It gives priority to shovel-ready projects with strong bed-to-cost results, geographic equity, impacts on people who are civilly committed or in state hospitals, and local community input. The state provides $65 million for the 2025–27 biennium, and the program ends January 2, 2027.
