Background:
LSF provides funding for Mobile Response Team’s that respond to anyone under the age of 25 experiencing a crisis situation, 24 hours day. Additionally, funds are provided to support the operation of Metamorphosis, a long term substance abuse treatment program. Funding to implement the needed systems and staffing for the soon coming 988 crisis/emotional support line is also provided. LSF previously added and increased funding for 988 which has not been fully utilized due to the time needed to recruit and hire staff and make physical changes to the Crisis Center telephone room.
