Hope Forward Campus will Expand Behavioral Health Treatment Capacity for Children and Youth in the Central Valley
On October 24, 2024, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and Aspiranet broke ground on a new behavioral health facility in Turlock, California. The Hope Forward Campus will provide critical mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment for children and youth in the Central Valley. Aspiranet partnered with Stanislaus, Merced, and San Joaquin counties to develop this state-of-the-art facility projected to serve more than 1,600 individuals annually.
DHCS awarded Aspiranet more than $33 million through the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP), which is expanding the state’s behavioral health facility infrastructure to serve the most vulnerable Californians. With the recently approved Proposition 1 bonds, even more behavioral health treatment facilities will be funded and built in 2025 and 2026.
