The Government of Karnataka, in collaboration with the Aaladamara Foundation, has initiated the Emergency Care and Recovery Centres (ECRC) Programme to provide shelter and mental health services to homeless persons with mental illness. The first 25-bed centre has been established at CV Raman Hospital, Bengaluru. The programme aims to expand similar facilities across all district hospitals in Karnataka by engaging eligible Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs).

The ECRC model focuses on clinical, psychological, and social care with an emphasis on personal recovery, social inclusion, and rehabilitation. Key features include open wards, human rights cells, grievance redressal mechanisms, and outreach services.
