The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Community Health Centers program (CFDA 93.224) to Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic. The grant will support the expansion of mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) services in central Washington. Specifically, the funding will enable the hiring and training of mental health workers, SUD professionals, and certified peer counselors to increase the total number of patients receiving mental health and SUD treatment, including medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). The project aims to enhance mental health awareness, reduce opioid-related morbidity and mortality, and provide a coordinated, multisystem approach to address the broader healthcare needs of the predominantly low-income, minority, and underserved populations served by Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic. This two-year grant award began on September 1, 2024 and will run through August 31, 2026.
