The purpose of this meeting is to conduct the governmental business outlined in the above agenda. The department intends to promulgate rules to effectuate the intent of Act 249 by creating a new administrative rule chapter which establishes an emergency and permanent rule for the certification and operation of crisis hostels. Crisis hostels are intended to increase the availability and accessibility to stabilization options for those experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis. A crisis hostel is a mental health stabilization program with a maximum of 15 beds that provides voluntary crisis stabilization services to individuals 18 or older to prevent or de-escalate an individual’s mental health crisis and avoid admission to a more restrictive setting. Crisis stabilization services in a hostel setting are provided to an individual for 23 hours or less, and those services are defined as short-term, intensive, community-based services to assist an individual experiencing a mental health crisis to avoid inpatient hospitalization. This committee is meeting to advise DHS on this rulemaking project.
