Opportunity Information: Apply for SM 22 002
The Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) Expansion Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SM 22 002) is a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Its central aim is to strengthen and modernize community behavioral health systems by helping organizations establish new CCBHC programs that deliver comprehensive, coordinated care. The model emphasizes person- and family-centered services and is designed to improve how mental health and substance use disorder services are organized, accessed, and delivered in the community, with an expectation that care is integrated rather than fragmented across providers and settings.
The grant is framed around planning, development, and implementation work that enables an organization to meet the official CCBHC Certification Criteria. In practical terms, that means recipients are expected to build the operational and clinical capacity required of CCBHCs, including the ability to deliver a full continuum of services that typically spans outreach, screening, assessment, evidence-based treatment, care coordination, and recovery supports. A key part of the approach is that service design should be guided by a local needs assessment and aligned with the certification standards, so the program is not just expanding services in general, but building a clinic structure that matches the CCBHC requirements and responds to documented community needs.
A major purpose of the program is to expand access to high-quality mental health and substance use disorder treatment regardless of a person s ability to pay. The target population is intentionally broad: any individual seeking care for mental illness or substance use disorders should be able to access services. The opportunity explicitly highlights priority groups that often require intensive, coordinated support, including people with serious mental illness (SMI), people with substance use disorders (including opioid use disorder), children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance (SED), individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders (COD), and individuals experiencing a mental health or substance use-related crisis. This signals an expectation that funded clinics can serve high-need and high-acuity populations and are prepared to respond to crises as part of a comprehensive community behavioral health safety net.
SAMHSA also makes clear that addressing health disparities should be a visible part of the application and program design. Applicants are expected to identify groups experiencing disparities through their community needs assessment and then reflect that information in the population of focus and service strategy. In effect, the program is not only about expanding clinic capacity, but also about improving equity in access and outcomes by deliberately focusing on underserved or disproportionately impacted groups within the community.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity is listed under CFDA 93.829, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and an anticipated 156 awards. The posting shows a creation date of March 18, 2022, and an original closing date of May 17, 2022. Eligibility is labeled broadly as Others with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, indicating that prospective applicants would need to consult the eligibility section of the official notice to confirm whether their organization type and circumstances qualify. Overall, the opportunity is designed to help organizations build or expand into the CCBHC model in a structured way that improves coordination, broadens access, and strengthens community-based responses for people living with mental health and substance use conditions.Apply for SM 22 002
