The Montgomery County Council will review the $98.3 million recommended FY27 Operating Budget for DHHS Behavioral Health and Crisis Services (BHCS) on May 7, 2026. The 48 percent increase over FY26 is primarily due to the realignment of Children, Youth, and Family programs into BHCS and new mandates for the Crisis Stabilization Center.
