Lightfoot announces $8 million in grants to strengthen mental health system

October 7, 2020

Mayor Lori Lightfoot campaigned on a promise to re-open six mental health clinics that her predecessor shut down, but her 2020 budget kept them closed. A seventh center that Rahm Emanuel privatized remained so.

Instead, Lightfoot earmarked $9.3 million to increase capacity at the five remaining city clinics and support “20 trauma-informed centers of care” in “areas of greatest need impacted by violence and poverty” on Chicago’s South and West Sides.

On Tuesday, the mayor moved to strengthen the “trauma-informed” mental health system she is trying to build — by awarding $8 million in annual grant funding to 32 community-based organizations.

Designated organizations will work in tandem with the city’s remaining mental health clinics to create what the mayor calls a “mental health safety net system” that provides care to anyone who needs it.

Of the 32 “funded proposals,” 30 will expand mental health services for children, adolescents and young

Federally Qualified Health Centers in Illinois and other health facilities that have been on the front lines in the state’s battle against COVID-19 are in line to receive $140 million in grants to help them maintain operations.

Gov. JB Pritzker made that announcement Friday during a news conference at one such clinic, the Howard Brown Health Center in Chicago.

“Our state is among the best in class when it comes to fighting COVID-19 because we’ve put people first, and our health care providers have had a key role in making that possible,” Pritzker said. “But for many providers, that work has come at a significant financial cost, from maintaining payroll to spending extra on personal protective equipment, to taking extra precautions in ambulance services for COVID-positive individuals.”

“In short, we’re giving direct dollars to our direct responders,” he added.

Federally Qualified Health Centers, or FQHCs, have accounted for a large
