On June 29, 2018, the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a joint status report in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia pursuant to their 2010 Settlement Agreement.

In the time since the original agreement was signed, DBHDD’s system has undergone a significant transformation. A once fragmented and inconsistent system is now a robust, statewide community-based system of care.
