The Imperial County Behavioral Health Services (ICBHS) is proposing to expand its infrastructure in northern Imperial County by developing a campus model that provides accessible, community -based, and client -centered behavioral health services. The project includes the remodeling of a county -owned facility at 220 Main St., Brawley, to house an outpatient Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Treatment Program, a Full -Sere ce Partnership (FSP) mental health clinic for adults, therapeutic rooms for urgent care, a Transportation Unit, and office space for community agencies to offer additional supportive services. This project is contingent upon obtaining grant funding.
Mayor Rebollar commented that this is an informational presentation. This Council is not the deciding body for this matter. The Imperial County Board of Supervisors will decide this matter.
