National Mental Health Corps Inc.

National Mental Health Corps Inc., doing business as Health360 Inc., is a nonprofit organization based in Newtown, Connecticut, that serves as a prime recipient of federal AmeriCorps grants and as a sub-recipient under state and regional AmeriCorps allocations, operating mental health workforce development and community health education programs nationwide.

Health360 Inc. operates primarily as an AmeriCorps grant recipient, holding 65% of its recent federal awards as prime grants and 35% as sub-awards under state commissions and university health centers. The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) Office of Grants Management funds the bulk of Health360's work — thirteen of twenty awards — with the Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and Health Resources and Services Administration rounding out the customer base at two awards each. The organization competes in full-and-open AmeriCorps grant competitions and receives sub-allocations through state-level AmeriCorps intermediaries.

Health360's capability portfolio centers on AmeriCorps member recruitment, training, and deployment to address unmet mental health and health equity needs. The organization's most recent prime award, issued July 1, 2026, is a $1,370,352 AmeriCorps State and National (CFDA 94.006) grant running through June 30, 2029, supporting the 2026–2027 AmeriCorps National Direct program. An earlier prime award from September 1, 2022, also under the AmeriCorps State and National program, funded a Public Health AmeriCorps effort deploying fifty members nationwide to implement mental health gatekeeper trainings (GKT) designed to train laypeople in suicide prevention and mental illness identification, with year-one targets of 625 trainees in suicide prevention GKT and 5,625 in other mental health GKT. A third prime grant from September 1, 2022, at a fixed-amount $21,600 per member service year, forward-funded the 2024–25 program cycle with $1,207,500 in additional funding.

In its sub-recipient role, Health360 operates as a contractor under University of Connecticut Health Center Area Health Education Center (AHEC) Program awards, managing the National Mental Health Corps Inc. and Health360 Inc. entities as AHEC-compliant centers serving medically underserved populations in Connecticut counties. Health360 also receives sub-allocations through state AmeriCorps intermediaries including United Way Association of South Carolina, Inc., Oklahoma Community Service Commission Inc., and the Connecticut Office of Higher Education, deploying AmeriCorps members to mental health prevention, early intervention, and crisis response services across multiple states.

Activity has been episodic rather than steady — two awards in 2019, three in 2022, then a gap, with recent acceleration to four awards in 2026. The organization obligated $19.1 million across twenty awards spanning federal fiscal years 2022 through 2026. All identified work occurs within the AmeriCorps grant ecosystem and its sub-award structure; Health360 holds no federal contract vehicles and competes exclusively as a grant recipient, not as a contractor on federal supply or services contracts.
