Clinics across the nation are now eligible to apply for Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) Expansion Grants, according to new guidelines outlined this week in a funding opportunity announcement by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
The National Council has strongly advocated for increased funding for the Expansion Grant program. We’ve also been a vocal advocate for the nationwide expansion of CCBHCs because the model brings a critical infusion of resources into the mental health and addiction safety net.
The CCBHC program supports clinics in expanding access to a comprehensive array of mental health and addiction services in community-based settings, while improving their ability to coordinate care with other health system partners and collect and report on quality metrics.
