Community Health Resources Inc.

Community Health Resources Inc., doing business as CHR, is a tax-exempt nonprofit behavioral health organization based in Windsor, Connecticut, that operates as a federal grant recipient providing mental health and substance use disorder services across Connecticut. CHR acts as a prime recipient on five SAMHSA Center for Mental Health Services Project Grants and as a sub-recipient on five grant sub-awards from the Connecticut Department of Social Services and the Connecticut Judicial Branch.

CHR's federal grant portfolio centers on evidence-based behavioral health interventions. As a prime recipient, CHR holds a $800,000 award from SAMHSA under CFDA 93.532 (Center for Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance), granted September 30, 2026, to implement the Zero Suicide framework across its behavioral health programs in north-central Connecticut, serving adults across a 20-town region through suicide risk screening, electronic health record integration, standardized care pathways, and workforce training, running through September 29, 2031. Two prior prime grants awarded September 30, 2022, both expiring September 29, 2026, supported Operation Green Ribbon (Mental Health First Aid training delivered to social service staff, criminal justice professionals, veterans and their families, K-12 school personnel, and community college students across a 50-town Hartford, Tolland, and Windham County catchment) and CT ESSENTIAL (recovery-oriented services for adults with serious mental illness, substance use disorders, and opioid use disorders, and children with serious emotional disorders, delivered through outpatient sites in Enfield, Bloomfield, and Manchester). A third active prime grant, HEAL (Hope Through Expanded Access to Local Trauma Treatment), awarded September 30, 2022, with completion September 29, 2027, provides trauma-focused evidence-based treatment and care coordination for at-risk youth under age 18 across 50 towns in north-central Connecticut through five outpatient clinics, 18 school-based mental health clinics, and three embedded pediatric practices. CHR also holds a fourth prime award, CT HOPE, to expand recovery-oriented services for individuals with serious mental illness, substance use disorders, opioid use disorders, and serious emotional disorders across 21 towns in northeastern Connecticut (Tolland and Windham Counties), delivered through locations in Putnam, Danielson, and Willimantic, expiring September 29, 2026.

As a sub-recipient, CHR receives pass-through funding from the Connecticut Department of Social Services and the Connecticut Judicial Branch to provide care coordination, community support for families, mobile crisis intervention services, and trauma counseling under victim assistance and child welfare programs. Recent sub-awards include mobile crisis intervention and family support services (July 2025, June 2024) and intimate partner violence response services (July 2025, November 2023) from the Department of Social Services, and VOCA Enhanced Care trauma counseling and case management for crime victims (June 2025, June 2023) from the Judicial Branch.

CHR's customer base is concentrated on HHS SAMHSA and HUD, which together account for 87% of recent awards by count. The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration represents 12 of 30 total awards, while HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development accounts for 9 awards. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families and the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime each represent 2 awards. Activity has declined year over year, with one award in 2026, two in 2025, and one in 2024 following four awards in 2022. Two awards (combined potential value not disclosed in source) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure. Across all federal sources, CHR has obligated $89.2 million in cumulative federal funding since 2007.
