Schumer pushed the federal and state government to immediately put the $5 billion he secured in the American Rescue Plan to work – and send a portion of the new aid to Central New York and providers like the Madison County’s newly created Mental Health Task Force.</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Schumer explained that the Madison County Health Department saw a whopping 250% increase in the number of mental health-related crisis calls last year – 192 calls in 2019 and 485 calls in 2020 – with 614 already in 2021, making getting this federal funding out the door all the more critical for Madison County residents struggling with anxiety, depression and addiction. Schumer said that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and New York State must set up the appropriate programs to get the aid out the door to Central New York providers so they can meet rising demand.</p>"}}
