It's been a crazy week in Chicago's mental health community, as four centers were supposed to close Tuesday. But the mayor said they would stay open. Yet, yesterday, equipment was being moved from the South Side Centers and staffers said they were closing. But, Thursday afternoon news came from City Hall that stimulus money (a possibility the Daily News reported on in mid-March) would keep the centers open as city officials seek more funding.
That's good news for mental health advocates, who worried the closures would hurt patients. But, as funding is being acquired from the state, the centers are closed.
The bottom line is that they're staying open, and health advocates are happy about that.
