In the Plaskett–Potter Administration, we will work collaboratively with our stakeholders to fund and create wrap-around services to those with mental health challenges and create more senior assisted living communities and programs.
Work collaboratively to fund and create wrap-around services for people with mental health challenges.
Occurrences
Evidence
Plaskett's FY27 CPF request includes $4.5 million for a Virgin Islands supportive recovery housing and crisis response project to build the territory's first dedicated supportive housing campus.
The same FY27 CPF page seeks $919,300 to refurbish St. Clair House to improve access to healthcare, including mental health and substance abuse recovery, plus counseling and therapy space.
Plaskett's FY27 CPF list also requests $5 million to renovate Ingeborg-Nesbitt Health Center, adding four behavioral health counseling rooms and a behavioral health manager office.
Assessments
Plaskett has taken concrete same-term steps toward the promise by seeking federal community project funding for supportive recovery housing, crisis response capacity, behavioral health counseling space, and related healthcare facilities in the Virgin Islands. Those actions materially advance wrap-around mental health services and show collaborative funding efforts. However, the evidence provided shows requests and proposals, not enacted funding or fully created services, so the promise is not fully delivered on this record.
