The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) has been awarded a $10,266,284 Block Grant for Community Mental Health Services (CFDA 93.958) from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This two-year grant, with an award date of October 1, 2024, will enable OHA to deliver a comprehensive suite of mental health services to adults with serious mental illness and children with serious emotional disturbances across the state of Oregon.
The funded services are expected to encompass a broad range of interventions, including outpatient counseling, substance abuse treatment, crisis intervention, case management, housing assistance, peer support, workforce training, and public education campaigns aimed at prevention, treatment, and recovery. OHA plans to sub-award portions of this grant to county health departments, community organizations, and local partners to implement these programs throughout Oregon, leveraging the federal funding to address pressing mental health needs across the state.
