Establishes mental health clubhouses in New York, requiring accreditation and voluntary membership.

The bill mandates the Office of Mental Health to create a statewide plan for establishing mental health clubhouses. These clubhouses must be accredited, offer voluntary and free membership, and provide therapeutic support and community-based services. Clubhouses should be near public transport and may offer virtual programming for rural areas. Each clubhouse must submit biannual reports detailing membership, employment outcomes, and housing placements. The office will conduct biennial audits to ensure compliance with regulations.
