The Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) announced the availability of $2.5 million in grant funding for community-based organizations and public health programs to help improve Pennsylvanians’ access to existing substance use disorder (SUD) recovery houses that are licensed through DDAP.

Funding for these grants is provided from opioid settlement funding that was appropriated to DDAP by the General Assembly, which was the result of a multistate investigation of opioid manufacturers and distributors spearheaded by then-Attorney General Josh Shapiro that led to settlement agreements worth billions of dollars. That money is to be invested in opioid remediation programs and initiatives.

The Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS) recently sent out information to County Mental Health Administrators to alert each of them to an upcoming funding opportunity. This funding supports OMHSAS’s efforts to equip the ICWCs for alignment with the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHC) model, which includes providing robust crisis services. Additional information regarding the OMHSAS plan for the expansion of the ICWC model is forthcoming, but clinics should still take advantage of this potential opportunity. The ICWCs are encouraged to contact their county representatives to express interest in participating in the start-up project for walk-in crisis services.

An informational meeting for County Partners will be held on Wednesday, October 23, 2024. Please do not submit any applications to OMHSAS, as the application must come from the County Partner(s) in order to be considered.

If you have any further questions, please reach out to your County Partner. Please see below for the information that was shared.

Upcoming Funding Opportunity: Emergency Behavioral Health Crisis Walk-In Centers (EBHC Walk-In Centers)

OMHSAS is excited to announce a new funding opportunity for County Mental Health Administrators aimed at supporting the establishment of Emergency Behavioral Health Crisis Walk-In Centers (EBHC Walk-In Centers). This opportunity offers up to five grants, with a total funding request of up to $3 million per project. Each grant will consist of a blend of $1 million in state funds and $2 million from the federal Community Mental Health Services Block Grant (CMHSBG).

Funding Breakdown:

  • State Funding: Can be used for infrastructure, purchasing property, construction, and/or service provision.
  • Federal CMHSBG Funding: Limited to services for individuals with Serious Mental Illness (SMI)/Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED), provider training, and rent/utilities.

Key:

  • New Walk-In Centers in Rural Areas: Particularly those formed through multi-county partnerships, beyond joinder counties.
  • Applicants that have not previously received CMHSBG funding for crisis start-up projects will be prioritized.

If you have further questions, please contact RCPA COO and Mental Health Director Jim Sharp.

The Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) announced the availability of $9 million in funding to expand or enhance recovery support services for individuals in recovery from opioid use disorder (OUD) and other substance use disorders (SUD).

DDAP will award approximately six grants of up to $1.5 million each. Applicants must have at least two years of experience as of July 1, 2024, in providing recovery support services and be able to demonstrate the capacity to provide those services to individuals in recovery from OUD and other concurrent SUDs.

DDAP is placing a focus on health equity as a part of this grant opportunity. Based on a variety of criteria from the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s 2022 overdose death data, DDAP will select two grantees located in Philadelphia, two grantees located in Allegheny County, and two grantees from the remaining 19 qualifying counties located within Pennsylvania with a crude death rate higher than the state average.

Funding for these grants is provided through the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) State Opioid Response (SOR) IV grant program. The SOR program aims to help reduce unmet treatment needs and opioid-related overdose deaths nationwide through state-by-state allocations.
