Southeast Florida Behavioral Health Network

Southeast Florida Behavioral Health Network is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, that operates exclusively as a sub-recipient of federal grant awards, managing and delivering behavioral health services in southeast Florida through grants flowing from the Florida Department of Children and Families. The organization holds no direct federal prime contracts or seats on federal contract vehicles; all fifteen of its recent federal awards (combined $34.9 million obligated) are sub-grant arrangements with the state as the pass-through entity.

All fifteen sub-grants awarded to Southeast Florida Behavioral Health Network in 2025 flow from federal sources within the Department of Health and Human Services. Thirteen awards stem from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and two awards originate from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF). In each case, the Florida Department of Children and Families holds the federal prime grant, and Southeast Florida Behavioral Health Network serves as a managing entity responsible for behavioral health services delivery across its service region. The organization's role is characterized in the source as "Managing Entity — Behavioral Health Services" and "Behavioral Health Managing Entity," indicating a regional operational and administrative responsibility for federally funded mental health and substance abuse programming rather than direct service provision alone.

The organization's federal footprint is recent and nascent. All fifteen awards date to July 1, 2025, representing the organization's entry into the federal sub-grant pipeline through state intermediation. No prior-year awards appear in the source data. The combined obligated value of $34.9 million across a single award cohort suggests either a large initial allocation or multiple tranches of recurring federal funding flowing through the state pass-through, but the source does not clarify whether these are annual, multi-year, or one-time awards. The organization's customer concentration is exclusively within HHS — SAMHSA accounts for thirteen awards (approximately 87% of the sub-grant portfolio) and ACF accounts for two awards (approximately 13%) — with no diversification across other federal agencies or customer agencies beyond HHS.

Southeast Florida Behavioral Health Network operates no federal contracting capability and does not bid or compete for federal contracts. Its federal footprint is confined to grant sub-recipiency through state channels, making it relevant primarily to federal grantmakers seeking regional behavioral health management partnerships in southeast Florida and to state health agencies administering federal mental health and substance abuse grants.
