Rio de Janeiro mental health service proposals

Overview

The Rio de Janeiro City Council is reviewing a legislative proposal, OPL 565/2025, to establish Mobile Psychosocial Care Centers (CAPS Móveis). These units are intended to provide mental health services and addiction treatment to vulnerable populations, specifically targeting those experiencing homelessness.

The initiative follows municipal census data from 2024 showing a 4.2% increase in the city’s homeless population since 2022, with over 8,000 individuals reported living on the streets. The proposed mobile units would operate alongside existing psychosocial care centers to provide multidisciplinary support.
