The Iowa Department of Human Services (Iowa DHS) has been awarded a $628,259.00 federal Block Grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under the Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services program (CFDA 93.958). This two-year grant, running from September 30, 2024, to September 29, 2026, will enable Iowa DHS to provide comprehensive community mental health services to adults with serious mental illness and children with serious emotional disturbances throughout the state.
The grant funding will support a broad range of mental health interventions delivered by Iowa DHS and its local partners, including 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. As the primary social services agency in Iowa, the Department of Human Services frequently collaborates with providers, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations as sub-awardees to deliver these critical mental health services directly to communities across the state.
