Makes supplemental appropriation of $1.5 million from General Fund to DOH and DCA for Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers.
This bill provides $1.5 million in supplemental state funding for two programs run by the Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers. It allocates $1 million to the Department of Health for the "Pledge to Connect Program," which connects emergency room patients with behavioral health needs to outpatient care to reduce future ER visits. It also allocates $500,000 to the Department of Community Affairs for the "Housing First Program," providing permanent housing and support services to chronically homeless individuals in Camden. The funding restores state support for these programs, which had not received state funding in the previous fiscal year.
