Office On Mental Health Core Service Agency Of Harford County, Inc.

Office On Mental Health Core Service Agency Of Harford County, Inc., doing business as The Maryland Employment Network, is a Maryland-based tax-exempt nonprofit organization that serves as a sub-recipient on federal grants focused on substance use disorder prevention, opioid misuse intervention, behavioral health diversion, and homeless services support. The organization operates exclusively as a grant sub-recipient (100% of recent awards); it holds no prime federal contracts or IDVs and does not compete for contracts independently.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily concentrated within the Department of Health and Human Services. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) accounts for all but three of the organization's sixteen recent federal grant sub-awards, with the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance placing two awards. The Maryland Department of Health serves as the direct prime grantee on fourteen of the sixteen sub-awards, with the Executive Office of the State of Maryland as prime on two behavioral health diversion grants. Combined federal obligations across all sub-awards total approximately $2 million.

The organization's grant portfolio centers on four recurring program areas. Primary Substance Use Disorder Prevention and Opioid Misuse Prevention programs account for most of the sub-awards, running on a consistent annual or semi-annual cycle through the Maryland Department of Health since October 2023. The organization also receives sub-awards for Projects for Assistance in Transition for Homelessness (PATH) and operates a Teen Diversion program. Additionally, the Maryland Employment Network has executed two behavioral health diversion grants funded through the Executive Office of the State of Maryland, in partnership with the Klein Family Center, Harford Crisis Response, and local law enforcement departments including the Aberdeen, Bel Air, and Havre de Grace Police Departments, with expansion planned to the Harford County Sheriff's Office. These programs deploy case managers, law enforcement liaisons, and twenty-four-hour crisis response coverage to divert individuals with unmet behavioral health needs away from the criminal justice system.

Activity has grown modestly from four awards in 2023 to seven in 2025, with a three-year trend of year-over-year increases. The organization's most recent sub-awards date to October 2025, reflecting ongoing funding cycles through SAMHSA and state agencies. As a nonprofit sub-recipient operating exclusively within Maryland's behavioral health and criminal justice diversion ecosystem, the organization does not pursue independent contracting authority or federal prime vehicles.
