The Alexandria Community Services Board (CSB) is hosting a public meeting next month to receive feedback on how to help Alexandrians with mental illness, substance use dependency and more.
The meeting comes as the Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS) aims to get funding for programs related to helping with Alexandrians with mental illness, developmental and intellectual disabilities or a substance use dependency.
“This contract provides for the funding of services offered directly or contractually by the CSB in a manner that ensures accountability and quality of care for clients participating in services and implements the mission of supporting individuals by promoting recovery, self-determination and wellness in all aspects of life,” the release said.
The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, May 11, at 6:30 in the DCHS new headquarters at 4850 Mark Center Drive.
