The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) was awarded a $2,565,796 Block Grant for Community Mental Health Services (CFDA 93.958) from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). This federal grant program provides funding to state and local entities to deliver comprehensive mental health services, including outpatient counseling, substance abuse treatment, crisis intervention, case management, housing assistance, peer support, workforce training, and public education campaigns.
The grant will enable IDHS to implement the state's plan for providing these critical mental health services to adults with serious mental illness and children with serious emotional disturbances across Illinois. As a pass-through entity, IDHS will likely sub-award portions of the grant to local government agencies, non-profit organizations, and community partners to deliver direct services and support to residents in need throughout the state.
