Illinois mental health funding faces uphill battle at Capitol
Illinois mental health advocates warn Gov Pat Quinn's budget and Medicaid overhaul threaten a safety net already strained by funding cuts. Closures of Tinley Park and Singer centers, plus a $58.4 million cut to community programs, could reduce beds and force more ER visits and arrests. The plan targets 14,900 admissions saved and 1,800 more halted, with nearly a quarter of a billion dollars diverted from mental health. Lawmakers aim to finish by May 31 while experts warn of devastating access gaps and increased costs to communities, weeks after pension-shift signals sparked uncertainty.
