Hackensack, New Jersey-based Comprehensive Behavioral Health Care Inc. (CBH Care) has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protections. The nonprofit behavioral health and community support services provider cites a prolonged dispute with its landlord as the primary reason for the filing.
The conflict began in January 2018 when a furnace failure led to numerous leak incidents, damaging medications stored on-site and causing black mold to grow. Despite these issues, the landlord attempted to evict CBH Care from their main hub location in Hackensack.
According to court filings, CBH Care stated:
"The costs of protracted litigation, the inability to fully utilize the remises due to chronic HVAC failures and water damage, and the threat of eviction from the debtor’s principal facility have strained the debtor’s already limited financial resources."
CBH Care operates 20 locations in Northern New Jersey, offering services including outpatient mental health, psychiatric care, day programs, crisis support, residential programs, supported living, community outreach, and family support. The organization employs approximately 350 staff.
Despite exploring alternative solutions, CBH Care's financial difficulties and ongoing legal costs forced them to seek Chapter 11 relief. Their five-week cash budget reveals a current balance of around $2.7 million.
