Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill amends the 1965 Planning and Building Law in two ways: first, it adds balance houses to the list of types of housing detailed in the Fifth Schedule to the law; second, it amends section 63A of the law so that the maximum number of residents in a balance house will be 12 instead of 6. Balance houses are community settings that treat people going through periodic mental health crises, funded by the health maintenance organizations. The change is meant to allow additional balance houses to be established and to expand their treatment capacity.
