Ottawa County Community Mental Health

Ottawa County Community Mental Health, doing business as Community Mental Health, is a U.S. local government entity (county-based) headquartered in Holland, Michigan, that operates as a grant recipient delivering behavioral health crisis intervention, homelessness prevention, and substance use treatment services to federal agencies, primarily as a direct grantee (75% of recent awards) rather than as a contractor or subcontractor on federal procurements.

Community Mental Health's federal footprint centers on behavioral health service delivery across four grantor agencies. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development dominates by award volume, funding 46 awards totaling recurring Continuum of Care program grants (CFDA 14.267) for permanent housing, transitional housing, and supportive services for homeless individuals and families. The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA Center for Mental Health Services) funds 14 awards including crisis intervention, system-of-care expansion for at-risk youth, and certified community behavioral health clinic advancement; recent named examples include a $616,685 five-year behavioral health diversion initiative (CFDA 93.532, awarded September 2026) targeting 815 individuals in pre-arrest stabilization and crisis response, and a $550,000 four-year system-of-care expansion grant (awarded September 2024) serving 465 youth aged birth to 21 experiencing serious emotional disturbance or substance use. The Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance funds 3 awards including a $550,000 criminal and juvenile justice collaboration program (CFDA 16.745, awarded October 2024) expanding mobile co-response crisis intervention teams across Ottawa County's 303,000-resident region to serve 1,500 individuals with a goal of reducing transports to jail or emergency departments below 5 percent, and an earlier $550,000 comprehensive substance abuse treatment grant (awarded October 2023, completing September 2027) providing coordinated case management, medication-assisted treatment, and peer recovery support for justice-involved individuals. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services funds 5 awards; Community Mental Health also receives sub-awards from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services for pre-admission screening reviews, integrated healthcare expansion, drop-in centers, and mental health court operations.

Community Mental Health operates as a direct grant recipient on HUD and SAMHSA vehicles with no presence on federal contract IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs. Award activity shows moderate recent volume (12 awards in 2024, declining to 5 in 2025 and 2 in 2026), with four awards reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months. The organization competes exclusively in full-and-open, non-set-aside federal grant programs and does not hold SBA certifications.
