Opportunity Summary:
The Service Expansion in Mental Health/Substance Abuse (SEXPMHSA) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA 09-155) was a discretionary grant program from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) designed to help existing federally funded health centers expand access to mental health and substance abuse services. The central purpose of the opportunity was to improve the overall health of communities served by health centers and to reduce disparities in access to behavioral health care, especially in places and among groups that are already medically underserved.
This funding was specifically tied to the Consolidated Health Center Program under section 330 of the Public Health Service Act, meaning only current section 330-funded health center grantees were eligible to apply. Eligible applicants included Community Health Centers (section 330(e)), Migrant Health Centers (section 330(g)), Health Care for the Homeless programs (section 330(h)), and Public Housing Primary Care programs (section 330(i)). In practice, that meant the grant was aimed at organizations already delivering primary care and related services to high-need populations, including medically underserved urban and rural communities, migratory and seasonal agricultural workers and their families, people experiencing homelessness (including children and families), and residents of publicly subsidized housing.
Applications were expected to do three main things clearly and convincingly. First, applicants needed to identify and describe their target population and document the need for mental health and/or substance abuse services in that population, using local data, patient trends, and service gaps. Second, applicants had to present a service delivery plan that showed how the proposed expansion would directly respond to the needs they identified. This typically implies explaining what specific services would be added or strengthened, how patients would access care, how services would be integrated with existing primary care, what staffing model would be used, and how continuity of care and referrals would be managed. Third, applicants were required to submit a sound business plan that connected the proposed clinical goals and objectives to a realistic budget, demonstrating that the expansion was financially thought through and operationally feasible rather than just a list of desired services.
The opportunity anticipated about 60 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $9,000,000, and it included a cost-sharing or matching requirement. The program was posted on November 14, 2008, with an application closing date of January 16, 2009, and it was later archived on January 31, 2010. The CFDA listing associated with this program was 93.224 (Consolidated Health Centers). For applicants needing technical help accessing the announcement, HRSA directed them to the HRSA Call Center (callcenter@hrsa.gov), and the full announcement materials were available through the HRSA grants website link included in the posting.
