Abstract
This study addresses four major questions about the delivery of community-based mental health services: Which target groups are benefiting from recent policy shifts? What services are expanding? What staffing changes are occurring? How are these changes being financed? Findings indicate that state policies are aiding chronically mentally ill clients, but that services for other important target groups are being reduced substantially.Keywords
