Governor Glenn Youngkin’s administration has earmarked $800,000 for faith-based and community organizations to provide more access to mental health and drug addiction counseling.

Non-profit groups can receive up to $15,000 to establish those services that Youngkin says must be included as a team effort to help those who need treatment.
