Federal Block Grant Award Summary

The Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Division of Health, received a Substance Abuse Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services Block Grant award of $5.13 million from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. Under the Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse program (CFDA 93.959), this award supports the development and implementation of comprehensive substance use prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation services across Nevada. The block grant enables the state to plan, implement, and evaluate activities that prevent and treat substance use disorders within its jurisdiction.

As a designated state agency recipient, DHHS will utilize these funds to support substance abuse prevention and treatment initiatives serving Nevada residents. The grant provides flexible funding that may be allocated across multiple service delivery areas and potentially distributed to local implementing agencies and community organizations through sub-awards. The award is subject to federal compliance requirements under 2 CFR Subpart F and 45 CFR Part 96, with DHHS required to maintain records consistent with state law and complete applicable federal reporting requirements, including the Synar Report.
