HHS Awards $708 Million for Mental Health, Addiction, and Homelessness Programs
HHS Secretary Kennedy announced $708 million in new behavioral health funding opportunities, including $96 million for the STREETS program targeting mental illness, addiction, and homelessness. The funding comprises multiple grant opportunities for behavioral health services. Funding opportunity announcements are now posted for eligible applicants to apply. The awards represent significant federal investment in community-based behavioral health infrastructure, potentially affecting Medicaid managed care organizations that serve members with serious mental illness, substance use disorders, or housing instability.
MCOs serving Medicaid members with behavioral health needs and housing instability may see expanded community resources and potential partnership opportunities through these federal grants, which could affect care coordination strategies and community provider networks.
