But the state can't open them without more than $29 million needed to operate the facilities. These facilities complete the 988 crisis response system that New Jersey has constructed since the national hotline started in July 2022. The state gave out $37 million in grants in 2024 to five organizations to build the centers. And we have it, and we're ready to open a door, but we need the funding," Del Sordo said. State Sen. Joe Vitale, chair of the Senate health committee, has laid out plans for legislation requiring the state to find $35 million to open the facilities this year.
