City Commission Meeting · 2026-07-23 · agenda_item

The City of Palatka is planning a new mental health and wellness initiative. This project is currently under review as the Palatka Police Department seeks authorization to apply for a grant. The grant, if awarded, would be for up to $250,000.00 and is 100% funded through the US Department of Justice's Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Act. This initiative aims to establish mental health and wellness support. The project is in its early stages, with the city commission needing to adopt a resolution to allow the police department to apply for the grant. If the grant is approved, the city will likely need services for program development, mental health professionals, and potentially administrative support. Local businesses specializing in mental health services, program administration, and related support functions may find opportunities as this initiative moves forward. Engaging early could provide an advantage before specific needs and contracts are finalized.
