“In 2021, NAMI Washington will lead advocacy efforts to improve access to timely and effective behavioral health treatment and supports in the face of racial injustices, an economic downturn, and a global pandemic,” said NAMI Washington.
NAMI’s first policy priority is to protect funding for behavioral health in Washington. To do this they plan to advocate for revenue to fully fund critical behavioral health services and supports, like the Housing and Essential Need program, which helps individuals and families meet their basic needs.
NAMI also plans to support the $250 million requested for the Housing Trust Fund. NAMI will advocate for equitable housing that supports individuals with behavioral health needs and they will advocate for $500,000 in continued funding to go towards NAMI support programs for affiliates and the state office.
