Behavioral Health and Community Safety Partnerships

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is offering the Behavioral Health and Community Safety Partnerships grant to help communities reduce the behavioral health impacts of crime, violence, and disorder while strengthening community safety and improving outcomes for youth, families, and others affected by these issues. The program supports work that advances community partnerships around behavioral health and safety, with a focus on improving outcomes for populations affected by crime and violence. The opportunity is a discretionary health grant with no cost sharing or matching requirement and is open to domestic public entities and private nonprofit entities; SAMHSA estimates about $9.2 million in total funding across 12 awards.
