Funding Details
- 5. Requested amount of the legislatively directed spending item:
- $2,000,000.00
- 6. What is the purpose and how does the legislatively directed spending item provide a public benefit that is an appropriate use of taxpayer money?
- To continue funding for the Trauma Recovery Center (TRC) at Henry Ford Hospital. The state funding allowed Henry Ford to fire a multi-disciplinary team of psychologists, psychiatrics, and social workers to staff the TRC and serve survivors from across Michigan throughout their recovery. The TRC team is also recruiting trauma survivors to serve as peer mentors. One in four Michiganders have been the victim of crime in the past 10 years and many report experiencing trauma as a result. Yet, according to a recently released national report, less than one in three crime victims receive help to recover. Issues related to health insurance or lack of access to behavioral health services and providers tend to be the biggest barrier to mental health services. This appropriation does not violate Article IV, S 30 of the Michigan Constitution because the funding is designated to a not-for-profit hospital system. The purpose and goal of the funding is to provide mental and emotional treatment to crime victims after experiencing a traumatic event in their lives. The funding will be located in the Department of Human and Health Services budget and distributed to the hospital systems according to the boilerplate language.
