Project Grant H8N54077

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awarded a $1,200,000 Project Grant under the Health Center Program (CFDA 93.224) to the Oda Primary Health Care Network, Inc. in Brooklyn, New York. The funding will be used to expand access to behavioral health services and substance use disorder treatment for approximately 3,000 patients, primarily within the Yiddish-speaking Hasidic Jewish community, which experiences significant barriers to accessing these services. The grant will enable Oda Primary Health Care Network to add 3.0 full-time equivalent behavioral health care providers to deliver integrated, culturally sensitive mental health and substance use disorder services coordinated with the organization's primary care services. This funding aims to address the unmet need for behavioral healthcare in the underserved Brooklyn neighborhoods served by Oda Primary Health Care Network.
