Document Description: The proposed project involves the construction and operation of a new 11,962 sf Crisis Residential Treatment Facility Project intended to expand access to mental health services within the Eastern Desert region of the county by providing voluntary crisis intervention services to adult patients living in the local community. The facility will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year and provide a type of care that is a diversion from more expensive acute in-patient care for Eastern Desert, residents in crisis. The CRT Facility will initially include 10 adult beds and a wing for administrative and staff offices. However, the administrative wing may be converted to up to 6 additional beds in the future, for a total max of 16 adult beds.
