590 Crisis Care System
Program Description
Building a Unified Crisis Continuum
Under the leadership of the Chief Behavioral Health Officer (CBHO), the Illinois Department of Human Services - Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery (DBHR) and the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) are partnering closely to advance a unified, comprehensive crisis response framework known as the Illinois Unified Crisis Continuum (UCC). Using the UCC framework, Illinois is adapting and implementing the Three Essential Elements of SAMHSA's 2025 National Guidelines for a Behavioral Health Coordinated System of Crisis Care: someone to contact, someone to respond, and a safe place for help. In doing so, the State is ensuring that individuals experiencing behavioral health crises, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay, have equitable access to timely, appropriate, high-quality crisis care and follow up in a community setting.
Achieving this vision requires interagency alignment on crisis service definitions and expectations, allowing for the maximization of federal financial participation through the Illinois Medicaid program whenever possible. Doing so reserves DBHR's grant funding for serving individuals who receive crisis services and are uninsured or underinsured, including those not enrolled in one of the medical assistance programs administered by HFS.
This program supports the someone to respond element of the continuum in alignment with the State's overall UCC vision and plan.

Working hand-in-hand with local communities throughout Illinois, the Division of Early Childhood provides low-income, working families with access to quality, affordable child care; administers community-based prevention and intervention programs; and helps all children between the ages of birth to three with disabilities or delays, to learn and grow.

Competitive Funds for New Jersey Hospital Based Violence Intervention Program (NJHVIP) - Hudson County
The purpose of the New Jersey Hospital-Based Violence Intervention Program (NJHVIP) is to support programming that connects victims to services beginning in a hospital or other medical setting to services outside of the hospital to increase support for victims of crime, improve their outcomes, and reduce future victimization.
This funding opportunity is focused on the continuity of services to victims and communities in Hudson County, NJ through the New Jersey Hospital Based Violence Intervention Program. Additionally, this NJHVIP program is designed to continue the building of an infrastructure that supports innovative community-based responses to violence and a network of community based public safety interventions.
NJHVIP supports projects that are hospital-based or hospital-linked partnerships between a hospital trauma center, hospital emergency department or a local health department, and one or more community-based organizations that support crime victims outside of the hospital. Examples of those services include high-risk interventions to prevent retaliation, case management, and culturally appropriate services that promote healing. Recognizing that underserved victims are often served exclusively by community-based organizations, this NOAF requires partnerships with at least one community-based direct victim service organization. Partnerships may consist of direct victim services provided within the hospital setting and/or services provided externally in the community.
This solicitation will fund one HVIP program that utilizes evidence-based models, practices, policies, and partnerships that will operate hospital-connected programs that support crime victims and ensure that culturally appropriate victim services are available. Emphasis should be placed on services for victims of community gun violence, stabbings and physical assaults. Applications should represent partnerships; however, one eligible entity must be the subrecipient with primary responsibility for managing the grant and other partners should be proposed as contractors or subrecipients.
