I’m all for improving mental health, but what does this have to do with Bragg’s job? The DA runs the office that prosecutes criminals in Manhattan. The city has a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene for this.

if I'm remembering this right, the Manhattan DA oversees a lot of corporate cases that result in financial penalties that essentially get paid to that office so they essentially have a massive discretionary fund.

I think last time I remember the DA did something like this it was allocating funding for other localities to actually process their massively backlogged rape kits.

They also supplied funding for NYPD to use iPhones, back in the days when they were using Micrsoft mobile devices.
