The Nebraska Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) was awarded a $3,007,019 Block Grant for Community Mental Health Services (CFDA 93.958) by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). This two-year grant, running from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2026, will enable DHHS to provide comprehensive community-based mental health services to adults with serious mental illness and children with serious emotional disturbances in Nebraska.
The grant supports a range of mental health interventions, 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 state-level health and human services agency, DHHS will utilize this Block Grant funding to deliver these critical mental health services directly and through subawards to local partners across Nebraska.
