SAMHSA Awards Supplemental Prevention Grants to Alabama, Kansas, West Virginia Faith-Based Organizations
HHS announced September 15, 2026 supplemental funding through SAMHSA's Strategic Prevention Framework–Partnerships for Success program to Alabama, Kansas, and West Virginia. The awards support faith-based organizations and leaders in substance use prevention activities. The funding supplements existing state prevention grants. This expands federal support for community-based prevention infrastructure in states with significant substance use disorder prevalence, potentially affecting Medicaid behavioral health service utilization and costs.
Strengthened upstream prevention infrastructure may reduce future Medicaid behavioral health expenditures and managed care utilization in three states with high substance use disorder rates.
