What this bill does
H.R. 10287, the 9-8-8 Crisis Response Act, would expand federal support for mental health crisis response services. It increases funding for the existing Mental Health Crisis Response Partnership Pilot Program, keeping the current $10 million annual level for fiscal years 2025 and 2026 but raising it to $100 million per year for 2027 through 2029. It also revises a Medicaid state option that currently lets states get enhanced federal matching funds (85%) for community-based mobile crisis intervention services for a limited five-year period. The bill removes that time limit and extends the enhanced match to two additional services: regional/local 988 crisis lifeline call center operations and services provided by "crisis receiving and stabilization facilities," a new category defined in the bill as 24/7 facilities offering short-term observation and stabilization care without turning away patients based on ability to pay, residence, or other factors. The bill also appropriates $5 million to support implementation.
This affects states administering Medicaid, crisis call centers, crisis stabilization facilities, and people seeking mental health or substance use crisis care, potentially increasing available services and federal funding support. The bill applies retroactively to 2021.
The bill was introduced September 3, 2026, and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, where it awaits further action before any vote.
