Johnson County moving forward on Behavioral Health Access Center plan
Johnson County advances crisis intervention training for police and deputies and aims to open a Behavioral Health Access Center in Iowa City within two to three years. The project, tied to San Antonio lessons since 2015, would house sobering detox, crisis stabilization, a low barrier shelter, and 24 hour telemedicine with 22 000 square feet at up to 6.5 million in capital costs. Local funding shares and potential grants or donations support construction and ongoing operations projected at about 1.5 million annually.
