On March 18th, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) released the following two Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHC):
- Planning, Development, and Implementation Grants (for new CCBHCs); and
- Improvement and Expansion Grants (for certified CCBHCs) .
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.
Through these opportunities, over 300 organizations will be awarded up to $1 million in annual funding during the four-year grant period, subject to the availability of federal appropriations.
The NOFOs are available here and SPG’s summary of each opportunity is attached (new CCBHCs, certified CCBHCs). Applications are due on May 17th.
