On May 10th, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Center for Mental Health Services released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) Expansion Grants. This RFP aims to support the expansion of the CCBHC model in states that participated in the 2016 Planning Grant program for the development of CCBHCs, including New York State.
Approximately $48 million in total funding will be awarded over two years to eligible organizations, which include existing CCBHCs or organizations that can become certified within four months, as operational funding to help provide services to uninsured populations. CCBHCs provide comprehensive person- and family-centered services that aim to increase access to community-based care, stabilize individuals in crisis, and provide the necessary treatment and recovery support services for individuals with complex mental and substance use disorders.
The full RFP is available here and a summary can be found here. Applications are due on July 9th.
