Addison, IL - On May 22nd, 2024, the Addison Township Community Mental Health Board approved a two-million-dollar budget request, which was sent to the Township Board for approval for the FY2025. This funding is essential for mental health, intellectual/developmental disabilities, and substance use services directly aiding township residents.
Next, the Addison Township Community Mental Health Board will craft grant applications and finalize its three-year plan.
Before the Board's meeting, Addison Township residents met with community-based providers like Alive Center, UCP Sequin, Easterseals, Fox Valley Vet Center, and Northeast DuPage Family & Youth Services to learn about the services and the positive impact of approving the budget.
In 2022, voters approved the creation of the Addison Township Mental Health Board to address community needs and fund mental health, intellectual and developmental disability, and addiction initiatives.
