The House Appropriations Committee\u2019s version of the FY24 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies funding legislation includes $2 million in congressional Community Project Funding for the Dayton Children\u2019s Foundation\u2019s Behavioral Health Crisis Center. Once that bill becomes law, the funds will be used by the hospital to construct a new facility aimed at increasing mental health services for young children in need of care.\n\n\u201cI\u2019m proud to bring federal support for the mental health project that Dayton Children\u2019s is bringing to our community,\u201d said Congressman Mike Turner. \u201cDeborah has been in my office several times over the past few years to discuss the issue of mental health and behavioral health services for children, and she would relay what the hospital is seeing. I am very glad that in the request that they have put forward, I have been able to secure the first step in getting a $2 million grant for this facility. I look forward to this project coming to fruition.\u201d\n\n\u201cHere at Dayton Children's, we\u2019ve been working hard to find the best path forward to address the growing mental health crisis. This is the healthcare crisis of its generation,\u201d said Deborah Feldman, President and CEO of Dayton Children\u2019s Hospital. \u201cWe developed this strategic plan that really starts with early intervention and prevention, goes through outpatient services, acute care services, crisis, and really the centerpiece of that plan is this new building that you see going up right here. That will allow us to expand our inpatient services from 24 beds to 48 beds but also have a really important outpatient component, which is what the Congressman has been able to help us make a reality. We could not have a stronger advocate or friend in Washington and here in Dayton.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nFor more than 50 years, the physicians and residents at Dayton Children\u2019s Hospital have provided their patients in Southwest Ohio with the finest pediatric care available.\n\nCongressman Turner is leading the congressional funding effort for Dayton Children\u2019s and is the primary sponsor of the hospital\u2019s request for federal funds.\n\nThe new 113,000 square foot building would generate the creation of 175 construction jobs over nearly two years. Once the building is opened in early 2025, the building will create 87 professional jobs focused specifically on mental health care needs. There will be an additional 72 support services jobs created including dietary, building services, public security, child life, and environmental services for the new building. Combined, the new building will create 159 new, permanent jobs for the region.\n\nThis facility will also serve as a critical regional training site for students from at least 20 Ohio counties who are pursuing a range of behavioral health credentials.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://turner.house.gov/2023/12/turner-champions-millions-in-federal-funding-for-dayton-children-s-hospital"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8911320473998785, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
