The deadline is August 3 at 1pm PT, and organizations can apply for grants of $50,000 for each funding opportunity listed.
The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) is utilizing available federal grant funding provided by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to support behavioral health telehealth infrastructure improvement activities due to the impact of COVID-19. These funds are derived from the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant (SABG) and the Community Mental Health Services Block Grant (MHBG); therefore, all SABG and MHBG restrictions apply.
