Kalamazoo County Community Mental Health Authority

Kalamazoo County Community Mental Health Authority, operating as Integrated Services of Kalamazoo, is a U.S. local government entity (county mental health authority) serving as a federal grant recipient that delivers homelessness interventions, integrated behavioral health crisis services, and mental health training programs across Kalamazoo County, Michigan. The organization operates as the Integrated Services of Kalamazoo Division under the parent Kalamazoo County Board of Commissioners and competes exclusively under federal grant programs rather than federal contracts—no contract prime or subcontract work appears in the award footprint.

Integrated Services of Kalamazoo's federal funding derives almost entirely from two sources: the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) and the Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The CoC portfolio dominates by award count (123 awards across the full footprint) and supports permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention activities. Recent CoC grants include awards of $514,506 (June 1, 2026, ultimate completion May 31, 2027), $432,966 (January 1 through December 31, 2026), and multiple overlapping annual grants spanning 2022 through 2026, each supporting housing operations and case management in Kalamazoo County. SAMHSA funding supports specialized behavioral health programming. A five-year grant awarded September 30, 2023 (completing September 29, 2028) funds Project TIEH (Treatment for Individuals Experiencing Homelessness), which deploys critical time intervention and motivational interviewing to provide outreach, case management, and housing linkage to adults with serious mental illness or substance use disorder, targeting an unduplicated enrollment of 200 individuals over five years. A $2.3 million SAMHSA award (September 30, 2022, completing September 29, 2026) supports the ISK Comprehensive Community Behavioral Health Center (CCBHC 2022) project, addressing crisis and substance use disorder treatment needs while targeting Black adult males experiencing disparities in overdose outcomes; the CCBHC includes a behavioral health urgent care and access center providing 24/7 crisis services. A December 31, 2022 award (completing September 29, 2026) funds Mental Health First Aid training for fire and EMS personnel and older adults, targeting 1,800 trained individuals by year five. The organization also holds a Bureau of Justice Assistance grant awarded October 1, 2021 (completing September 30, 2025) supporting a Police Mental Health Collaboration (PMHC) program in partnership with Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Department, municipal police, Western Michigan University, and Kalamazoo Valley Community College.

Integrated Services of Kalamazoo acts as a prime grant recipient in 143 of 170 awards (84%) and as a subrecipient under the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services in 27 awards (16%). Sub-awards include Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) administration, Quick Response Teams for opioid overdose response, Master Leasing Family Shelter Pilot programs, pre-admission screening and resident reviews for long-term care facilities, nutrition and medical culinary education programs, veteran systems navigation, and behavioral health workforce stabilization support. Recent subrecipient activity shows multiple awards flowing from Michigan DHHS throughout 2024, 2025, and October 2025.

Awards per year have grown from ten in 2022 to a peak of twenty in 2024, with thirteen awards in 2025 and five in the first half of 2026. Eight awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete risk. Combined obligated dollars across all awards total $89 million. The organization serves ten distinct federal customer agencies, with the top customers by award volume being HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (123 awards), SAMHSA (35 awards across multiple offices), HHS Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (4 awards), and the Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance.
