SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. — The Spokane County Board of Commissioners has approved $300,000 from the County's Mental Health sales tax for the construction of a Children and Youth Services Center in the West Central neighborhood.
According to a press release, the project, known as the "Native Project," requested the funds to help with construction costs. The primary focus of this project is to serve children and teens of color.
The facility will house the following programs:
- Licensed outpatient mental health programs for children and teens
- Licensed adolescent substance use disorder outpatient treatment program
- Various youth and family prevention programs
“We are excited to be joining a project in our community that will offer services to help reduce barriers for our youth to access the mental health care they need, especially during their formulative years," Spokane County Board of Commissioners Chair Mary Kuney said.
“I am very pleased with the allocation of this funding to the Native Project," Commissioner Al French said. "This funding will be a significant investment in the future of our youth, specifically children and young adults of color.”
The center is scheduled to open in June 2024.
