The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is forecasting a grant opportunity titled "Behavioral Health Partnership for Early Diversion of Adults and Youth." This initiative aims to establish or expand programs that divert individuals with mental illness or co-occurring disorders from the criminal or juvenile justice systems to community-based mental health and substance use disorder services prior to arrest and booking. Such programs are crucial for enhancing public health and safety by providing necessary support and treatment to vulnerable populations. The estimated total program funding is $2 million, with six awards expected, and interested applicants can reach out to Roxanne Castenada at roxanne.castenada@samhsa.hhs.gov or (240) 276-1917 for further information. The synopsis is anticipated to be posted on December 16, 2024, for the fiscal year 2025.
