Federal Block Grant Award Summary

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) received a $14.35 million Substance Abuse Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services Block Grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. Under CFDA 93.959, this block grant supports the development and implementation of comprehensive substance use prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation activities throughout Michigan. As the designated state agency recipient, MDHHS utilizes block grant funding to plan, implement, and evaluate evidence-based initiatives addressing alcohol and drug abuse across the state.

MDHHS functions as the pass-through entity, sub-awarding portions of this funding to local health departments, nonprofit organizations, and community-based service providers to deliver substance abuse prevention and treatment services at the community level. The grant allocation is available for obligation and expenditure during fiscal years 2026 and 2027, consistent with standard block grant requirements under 2 CFR Subpart F and 45 CFR Part 96. These funds enable Michigan to expand treatment capacity, strengthen prevention infrastructure, and support recovery services for individuals and families affected by substance use disorders statewide.
