About this program
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services awarded grants under this program through July 2009 (CFDA 93.789) to fund home and community-based service alternatives to psychiatric residential treatment facilities for children with serious emotional disturbances. This program is no longer active and should not be pursued.
Grant awards under this program ended in 2009. The portfolio comprises 12 awards issued between December 2006 and July 2009, with the bulk concentrated in a single award cycle on December 20, 2006 (10 awards). Combined federal dollars obligated reached $152.4 million across all awards. Recent awards ranged from $135 thousand to $50.5 million, with notable awards including Mississippi's demonstration project ($50.5 million obligated), Indiana's community-based alternatives program ($31 million), and Maryland's psychiatric treatment facilities program ($27.6 million).
The program funded state demonstration projects deploying Medicaid home and community-based services waiver authority to keep youth in their families and communities rather than in institutional psychiatric settings. Representative funded initiatives included Virginia's children's behavioral home and community-based services waiver, Kansas's community-based alternative, Montana's alternatives to PRTFs, and Mississippi's system of care for youth with serious emotional disturbance. The assistance-type mix was predominantly Project Grants (92 percent, 11 awards) with one Block Grant. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services was the sole funding agency across all 12 awards.
No recent grant opportunities are open or have been posted. The program's authorization was limited to five years, with federal payments barred after fiscal year 2011. All recent award completion dates fall between June 2009 and September 2014. The program operated as a fixed, time-limited demonstration authorized by Section 6063 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 and has concluded.
Objective and description
- Objective
Over the last decade, Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facilities (PRTFs) have become the primary provider for youth with serious emotional disturbances requiring an institutional level of care. However, since they are not recognized as hospitals, nursing facilities or intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded, many States have been unable to use the 1915(c) waiver authority to provide home and community-based alternatives to care, which would keep the youth in their homes and with their families. Section 6063 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 addresses this issue by providing up to $218 million to up to 10 States to develop demonstration programs that provide home and community-based services to youth as alternatives to PRTFs. CMS anticipates awarding each successful applicant between $5 and $60 million. The PRTF Demonstration is authorized for up to 5 years. Payments may not be made to States after fiscal year 2011. CMS will review and approve each State's Implementation Plan prior to allowing States to access funds for Federal reimbursement of services under this grant. Section 6063 also provides $1 million for a National Demonstration Evaluation.
