SAMHSA Awards $96.7 Million for Behavioral Health Services Nationwide
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration announced $96.7 million in grants and cooperative agreements to strengthen mental health, suicide prevention, and substance use disorder services across the country. The awards support behavioral health service delivery infrastructure and program supports. While the announcement does not specify award recipients or implementation timelines, SAMHSA grant programs typically fund community behavioral health centers, state agencies, and other providers that serve Medicaid populations. The funding aligns with federal efforts to expand access to behavioral health services, a priority program area for state Medicaid agencies managing behavioral health benefits.
SAMHSA grant recipients often serve Medicaid beneficiaries directly, and this federal funding may supplement state Medicaid behavioral health programs or support network capacity planning for managed care organizations covering mental health and substance use disorder services.
