The Nebraska Department of Health & Human Services received a $2.1M block grant award from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment under the Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse program (CFDA 93.959). The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, supports the development and implementation of comprehensive substance use prevention, treatment, and recovery services across Nebraska. These services are designed to address alcohol and drug abuse through evidence-based prevention initiatives, treatment programs, and rehabilitation activities that serve the state's communities.

As a designated state agency recipient of this block grant, the Nebraska DHHS will utilize the funding to plan, implement, and evaluate substance use disorder prevention and treatment activities in accordance with federal regulatory requirements under 45 CFR Part 96 and 2 CFR Subpart F. The grant represents the state's allocation from a federal program that provides funding to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories to support comprehensive substance abuse service delivery systems. The awarded funds are available for obligation and expenditure during the fiscal years 2026 and 2027, consistent with standard block grant programming timelines.
