Opportunity Information: Apply for SM 23 024
The Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) Planning, Development, and Implementation Grant is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). It is designed to help communities strengthen and modernize their behavioral health systems by supporting organizations that want to plan for, build, and fully implement a new CCBHC model that meets the official CCBHC Certification Criteria. In plain terms, the opportunity is aimed at helping local providers move toward a more comprehensive, coordinated, and accountable way of delivering mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) services, with a strong emphasis on access, quality, and continuity of care.
A central goal of the program is system transformation: not just adding services, but reorganizing how community behavioral health care is delivered so that people can get the right level of help without being bounced between disconnected programs. Grant funds are intended to help applicants carry out the groundwork and operational steps needed to become a functioning CCBHC. That includes planning activities (such as assessing community needs and building the internal capacity to meet the certification standards), development work (like designing workflows, staffing models, partnerships, and data/reporting capabilities), and implementation (actually putting the CCBHC service model into practice in a way that aligns with certification requirements).
The grant also focuses heavily on delivering a comprehensive range of services and supports rooted in a needs assessment. Rather than offering a narrow menu of treatment options, a CCBHC is expected to provide coordinated outreach, screening, and assessment, along with treatment services, care coordination, and recovery supports. The emphasis is on creating a clinic and partner network that can respond to people across levels of need, including those with serious mental illness, individuals with SUD, and people with co-occurring conditions. Care coordination is a major theme, meaning the clinic is expected to connect clients to other health and social supports and help them navigate transitions, referrals, and follow-up, instead of leaving individuals to manage complex systems on their own.
Another defining feature of the opportunity is its equity and access requirement. The program explicitly supports recovery from mental illness and/or SUD by expanding access to high-quality services regardless of a person’s ability to pay. That language signals that grantees should be prepared to serve uninsured and underinsured individuals and to reduce financial barriers that often prevent timely treatment. The intent is that a CCBHC functions as a reliable point of access for behavioral health care in the community, not just for those with stable insurance coverage.
From the funding details provided, this opportunity was listed as Funding Opportunity Number SM 23 024 under CFDA 93.696, categorized as a health-related grant. The award ceiling is $1,000,000 per award, and the agency anticipated making about 62 awards. The opportunity was created on March 23, 2023, with an original closing date of May 22, 2023. Eligibility is described broadly as “Others,” with additional eligibility specifics referenced in the full notice under an “Additional Information on Eligibility” section, meaning prospective applicants would need to consult the full announcement text to confirm whether their organization type and circumstances meet SAMHSA’s requirements.
Overall, the grant is best understood as a capacity-building and implementation vehicle for communities that want to stand up a certified, fully coordinated behavioral health clinic model. It supports organizations in moving from planning and readiness work to real-world delivery of integrated mental health and SUD services, backed by outreach and recovery supports, and structured to ensure people can access care even when they face financial barriers.Apply for SM 23 024
