CDPH/Mayor Lightfoot said that “more than 73,000 Chicagoans received City-funded mental health services in 2022.”
“Since 2019, Mayor Lightfoot and the City Council have increased the budget for mental health services more than seven-fold, from $12M in 2019 to $89M in 2023. As a result, more than 73,000 Chicagoans received City-funded mental health services in 2022, compared to 3,651 people in 2019. Where zero children were served in 2019, the TICC community network provided vital support and services to 13,666 children in 2022. Each TICC provider uses City funding to either establish new or augment existing mental health services.” Source: Chicago Mayor’s Press Release February 9, 2023
CDPH shared the attached breakdown by program and agency of the number of people served by the city-funded mental health services in 2022.
