The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) agreed to award up to $15 million in grants to 31 government entities and nonprofit organizations throughout the state to help improve mental health services.
The grants will help pay for community-based programs to expand treatment, promote recovery and improve the quality of life for those with mental illness. Programs include supported housing, coordinated jail release, behavioral health services in schools and peer support services.
In 2017, House Bill 13 established HHSC’s Community Mental Health Grant Program and provides $30 million in state funds over the 2018-19 biennium to be matched by grantees with local and private funds.
Those receiving this second round of grants include faith-based organizations, counties, boys and girls clubs and community health centers.
