911 Community Crisis Responders Act of 2025

This bill would create grants that allow state, local, tribal, and territorial governments to send unarmed health care or social service workers to respond to nonviolent emergency calls, instead of sending police officers. The grants could be used to hire and train staff, work with 9-1-1 and 9-8-8 call centers to decide which calls should get these services, and help connect people with local health and social service providers. The 9-8-8 system is a phone line that provides mental health and suicide crisis support.
