The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Community Health Centers program (CFDA 93.224) to the Missoula City-County Health Department in Montana. The funding, which runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026, will be used to expand mental health, substance use disorder, and medication-assisted treatment (MOUD) services in the Partnership Health Center's service area. Key strategies include hiring 7.0 FTE new staff, including behavioral health clinicians and an advanced practice nurse, and establishing full-time behavioral health and MOUD access at satellite clinic locations such as homeless shelters, food banks, and a permanent supportive housing facility. The project aims to increase the number of patients receiving mental health services by 701, substance use disorder services by 52, and MOUD by 179, with a focus on serving priority populations such as individuals experiencing homelessness, low-income and food insecure residents, justice-involved individuals, and American Indian/Alaska Native community members.
