15. Renew System and Transportation Plan for Individuals in Crisis

Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-04-21 · agenda_item

The Lee Board of County Commissioners is considering a plan to serve individuals in crisis. This plan, required by Florida law, outlines a system for receiving individuals and a transportation network to help them get evaluations for mental health and substance use issues. Approval of this plan will allow state agencies and local partners to offer immediate emergency help to children and adults needing assistance under the Baker Act or Marchman Act. This item is currently under review by the Board. The plan involves coordinating services and transportation, which could lead to needs in areas like administrative support, technology, and potentially specialized transportation services. Local businesses that provide services related to behavioral health support, transportation coordination, or technology solutions may find opportunities by engaging early before final plans and contracts are established.
