CoCo County awarded $98M in state funding to create 3 mental health recovery facilities

Contra Costa Health has received about $98 million in state funding to build three new mental health and recovery facilities in Oakley, Pittsburg and Pleasant Hill.

The county health agency said in a statement the funding comes from California’s Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program, a multi-year state initiative to improve behavioral health care infrastructure paid through Proposition 1, a bond measure California voters approved in the March 2024 election to fund mental health treatment facilities.
