Early in the month, Governor Mike DeWine signed Executive Order 2022-08D to provide $4.5 million to increase staff and reopen beds in licensed youth residential treatment facilities. The order authorizes an emergency administrative rule to allow the Ohio Department of Medicaid to distribute relief funds to OhioMHAS-licensed residential treatment providers to maintain capacity. These funds are directed to support youth that are in the custody of a public children’s’ service agency in accessing care and treatment.
