Mental Health Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2023

The Mental Health Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2023 provides federal loans and loan guarantees to help build or improve mental health and substance use disorder treatment facilities. It prioritizes projects that increase psychiatric bed capacity in underserved areas, serve rural communities, or provide integrated care, with 25% of funds reserved specifically for pediatric facilities. Borrowers must contribute 25% of project costs from non-federal sources, and the program allocates up to $200 million annually for fiscal years 2024-2028. The bill includes specific terms for loan repayment, guarantee coverage, and requirements for eligible facility types that qualify for funding.
