Quality Behavioral Health

Quality Behavioral Health, doing business as Quality Behavorial Health, is a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Clarkston, Washington, that operates as a federal grant recipient delivering youth substance-abuse prevention and mental-health services. The organization acts as a prime grantee on Department of Health and Human Services awards (55% sub-award share, 45% prime) and serves as a sub-recipient on grants flowing through state health authorities. Quality Behavioral Health's recent federal footprint reflects a shift toward grant-funded prevention work: eleven federal awards across the organization's history, with six awards obligated in 2026 alone — a marked acceleration from prior years when activity averaged one award every one to three years.

The organization's customer base concentrates within HHS. The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention account for 82% of recent awards by count. The most recent and largest award is a $125,000 Drug-Free Communities Support Program Grant (CFDA 93.276) from CDC, awarded July 1, 2026, running through June 30, 2031, under which Quality Behavioral Health serves as prime grantee for the Pomeroy Partners for Healthy Families Coalition. The coalition addresses elevated rates of underage alcohol, marijuana, and tobacco/nicotine use in Pomeroy, Washington, a rural community of approximately 2,400 residents, through information dissemination via public awareness campaigns such as "Talk. They Hear You" and Project Sticker Shock, evidence-based prevention training, supportive environments via the Pirate Partners youth coalition, and access reduction strategies. The coalition operates with two full-time staff and 22 members across twelve community sectors. Additionally, Quality Behavioral Health appears as a sub-recipient on five prevention and promotion client-services grants flowing from the Health Care Authority (Washington State's Medicaid agency), all awarded August 24, 2026. The organization also holds a historical relationship with the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Walla Walla. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $1.8 million, with the CDC Drug-Free Communities award anchoring current portfolio value. Capability framing tracks to NAICS 621330 (Offices of Physicians, Mental Health Specialists) and NAICS 624190 (Other Individual and Family Services), with work performed in Washington State.
