"Thanks to our Rebuild Illinois Capital Plan, I am proud to announce that we are awarding more than $14 million to 70 human services organizations from 24 counties up and down the state to address much-needed infrastructure improvements," said Governor JB Pritzker. "Supporting these providers is an integral part of my FY24 budget proposal, which calls for the highest-ever statewide commitments to early childhood, developmental disability, mental health, substance use, and homeless prevention services. With the funding, the Center will add beds, replace its outdated HVAC system, update its electrical system to meet safety compliance requirements, replace degraded exterior siding and windows, remodel two bathrooms, and add a kitchen for the two extended care units.Christian County Mental Health Association is a Taylorville non-profit organization whose mission is to identify the needs of persons with disabilities in Christian County and to provide high quality, educational, developmental, residential, rehabilitation, employment, and advocacy services to support those persons and address their needs. ""This investment is a significant step forward in our ongoing efforts to ensure families have access to safe and high-quality disability services, youth programs and substance use treatment," said State Senator Ann Gillespie (D-Arlington Heights). "By supporting providers in disproportionately impacted areas in addressing critical construction and accessibility needs, we are demonstrating our commitment to promoting health and social equity for all residents of Illinois.
