Project Grant H79SM091644

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration awarded the City of Edmond, Oklahoma $750,000 on September 30, 2026, under the Center for Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance program (CFDA 93.532) to expand and enhance behavioral health mobile crisis team services serving Edmond and surrounding areas.

The recipient will establish a behavioral health provider-only mobile crisis team, hire project management and evaluation staff, formalize written crisis response partnerships with key community providers, and develop a continuous quality improvement process. By month 6 of the award, the mobile crisis provider will deliver 24/7 response to 50 percent of the service catchment area within 1 hour, expanding to full catchment coverage by year 4. The project diverts children, youth, and adults experiencing mental health or substance use crises from law enforcement-only responses and emergency rooms, bridges the gap between 988 suicide and crisis lifeline services and crisis stabilization services, and aims to reduce deaths from suicide and overdose.

Performance occurs in Edmond, Oklahoma, with a period of performance from September 30, 2026, through September 29, 2030. The award is structured as a Project Grant, the assistance type supporting knowledge development and application projects, training, and systems change initiatives under the federal program.
