As a registered federal vendor, Maine DHHS has extensive experience managing federal grant awards and sub-granting funds to local non-profit organizations to facilitate community-level implementation of these critical mental health services. The Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services program is designed to help states develop and maintain robust community-based mental health service networks that address critical behavioral health needs.
