Livingston County Mental Health Board/Commission on Children and Youth

What Livingston County Mental Health Board/Commission on Children and Youth does

The Livingston County Mental Health Board (LCMHB) is a government/municipal entity established in 1968 through a voter referendum in Livingston County, Illinois. Operating under the Community Mental Health Act (ILCS, Chapter 405, Act 20), the Board administers funding and monitors services for mental health, developmental disability, and substance use programs across the county. It oversees two distinct statutory boards — the 708 Mental Health Board (7 members serving 4-year terms) and the 377 Developmental Disability Board (3 members serving 3-year terms) — and additionally administers the Livingston County Commission on Children and Youth (LCCCY) division, which operates programs targeting children and youth with special emotional, physical, and intellectual development needs.

LCMHB operates with 1–10 employees from a single office at 310 E Torrance Ave, Pontiac, IL. Its core function is funding allocation rather than direct service delivery. The Board raises revenue via a property tax levy capped at 0.15% (authorized by the 1968 referendum) and distributes these funds to local nonprofit and healthcare service providers including the Institute for Human Resources, Futures Unlimited, Safe Journeys, OSF St. James John W. Albrecht Medical Center, Mosaic, and Adapted and Inclusive Recreation (AIR). Through the LCCCY division, LCMHB also directly delivers youth-focused programs including Intensive Placement Stabilization (IPS), the PLATO educational program, ACHIEVE Learning Center, and Family Support Specialist case management.

The organization's go-to-market is a government grant-making process: eligible service providers submit online applications annually for fiscal year funding allocations. Public transparency mechanisms include monthly board meetings, annual reports (FY 2019–2025 published), and a website hosting historical board meeting minutes dating back to fiscal year 2010. The organization has no proprietary technology platform, no commercial product, and operates within a fixed geographic mandate covering Livingston County, Illinois. Its current operational leader is Executive Director Taylor Hartman, appointed in 2023.
