The Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) has been awarded a $2,805,283 Block Grant for Community Mental Health Services (CFDA 93.958) from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). This 2-year grant, effective from September 30, 2024 to September 29, 2026, will enable DCF to deliver a range of critical mental health services to adults with serious mental illness and children with serious emotional disturbances across Florida.
The funded services are expected to include outpatient counseling, substance abuse treatment, crisis intervention, case management, housing assistance, peer support, workforce training, and public education campaigns focused on prevention, treatment, and recovery. DCF will partner with over 50 community organizations, managing entities, non-profits, and other state agencies as sub-awardees to implement these federally-funded mental health initiatives across Florida's 67 counties.
