| Funding is requested for the construction of a new substance abuse and behavioral healthcare treatment facility, adjacent to an existing facility located at 349 Huntington Avenue in Providence. This new facility will allow the consolidation and delivery of services for co-occurring disorders under the same roof. Patients remaining in treatment can reduce costs associated with emergency room visits, criminal justice expenses and child protective services. In addition to the community programming benefits, a new, properly-constructed facility will be energy efficient and accessible. Initially this project will create construction jobs and once complete, will create new employment opportunities within the facility. | |
