The proposed centre would open in Acomb Garth Community Care Centre, in Oak Rise, by May next year if plans are approved.
A report on the proposals stated the hub, which is being funded by NHS England, is one of two planned for York following the success of existing mental health centres.
It comes as the plans are set to go before Labour’s Cllr Lucy Steels-Walshaw, the council’s health spokesperson, for a decision on Tuesday, July 1.
York’s Mental Health Partnership secured around £2.4 million from NHS England in August last year to cover the development of the new hubs over two years.
The Acomb hub would be York’s second, with one currently operating in Clarence Street in Bootham and a third planned in the east of the city.
The hubs are influenced by mental health services offered in Trieste, in northern Italy.
A range of support from a team of professionals across different organisations focused on early intervention is offered by the hubs.
The Acomb centre would be run by Nimbuscare Ltd and recruitment for staff has already begun, according to the council’s report on the plans.
Acomb Garth Community Care Centre would be set for around six weeks of works costing about £123,000 to bring space earmarked for the new hub up to standard.
NHS England’s funding is set to pay for the works.
The report stated the hub aimed to improve access to mental health support that is more open and flexible and avoids duplication within services.
It added the focus on early intervention also sought avoid the use of more costly crisis services.
The report stated: “The model seeks to address the health inequalities for people with a severe mental illness by improving access to physical health support, addressing the social determinants of mental health and building community connectedness.”
