The County of McHenry, Illinois was awarded a $805,400 Project Grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under the Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) Program for Individuals with Serious Mental Illness (CFDA 93.997).

The grant will fund the implementation of an Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) program tailored to address the needs of individuals aged 18 and above with serious mental illness (SMI) in McHenry County, including those experiencing homelessness. The program aims to bridge the treatment gap by providing evidence-based mental health treatment and support services to a minimum of 50 individuals each year over a four-year period from September 2024 to September 2028. Key components include establishing a multi-disciplinary AOT program, reducing psychiatric hospitalizations and incarcerations, and addressing homelessness among the target population. The grant supports community education, stakeholder coordination, policy development, training, and ongoing program evaluation.
