(a) There shall be established within the department a crisis intervention and diversion services program to redirect persons, including homeless persons, experiencing mental health disorders or co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, or both, who are at risk for involvement, or currently involved, with the criminal justice system to the appropriate health care system and services. The program shall establish at least two crisis intervention and diversion services sites on the island of Oahu; provided that of the two sites on Oahu, one site shall be located in an area for which data shows disproportionate numbers of individuals with mental health disorders or co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, or both. The program may include the use of intensive mobile treatment services and intensive mobile outreach services. The department shall collaborate with law enforcement agencies, courts, mental health providers, and the community for the execution and implementation of these services. Any appropriation for the crisis intervention and diversion services program shall be used only for services contracted directly between the department and the service provider.
(b) The department may lease or acquire a facility to operate a behavioral health crisis center to treat and refer persons experiencing behavioral health crises, including persons in the criminal justice system, to the appropriate services and providers.
