About this grant

The Community Mental Health Services Block Grant (MHBG) provides funding to states and territories to support comprehensive community mental health services for adults with serious mental illness and children with serious emotional disturbances. States use funds to support community mental health centers, crisis services, supported housing, assertive community treatment, and other evidence-based mental health interventions. Individuals access services through state-funded community mental health providers, often at reduced or no cost based on income.
