We’re thrilled to announce that Ritter Center has been awarded $600K through Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSAgov), HHS to expand our Behavioral Health Service Expansion (BHSE) initiative! This critical funding will help us address gaps in substance use disorder (SUD) and psychiatric services for Marin County’s most vulnerable populations, especially our Hispanic/Latino, Spanish-speaking neighbors and the unsheltered community. Our focus is on expanding access to care and harm reduction services, helping those who need it most connect with life-saving support. #RitterCenter #BehavioralHealth #EndHomelessness #CommunitySupport #SUDCare
