Summary

District of Columbia Mental Health Program Assistance Act of 1991 - Amends the Saint Elizabeths Hospital and District of Columbia Mental Health Services Act to authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide funds to the Mayor of the District of Columbia for the completion of repairs and renovations to Saint Elizabeths Hospital and for other capital improvements necessary for the safe and cost effective delivery of mental health services. Earmarks specified funds for capital improvements to: (1) facilities not located at Saint Elizabeths Hospital; and (2) housing facilities for seriously and chronically mentally ill individuals. Extends from October 1, 1991, to October 1, 1993, the deadline for District of Columbia assumption of mental health functions, resources, and programs for its residences. Requires the Mayor to submit a master plan to specified congressional committees by October 1, 1992 (currently, October 1, 1991), for the use of that portion of Saint Elizabeths Hospital not yet transferred to the District of Columbia. Directs the Congress to approve such plan within two years, rather than one year, after it is submitted to the committees.
