The Mental Health Transformation State Incentive Grant program is one of SAMHSA's Infrastructure Grant programs. This program will support an array of infrastructure and service delivery improvement activities to help grantees - i.e., States, Territories, the District of Columbia, and/or federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native Tribes or Tribal Organizations - build a solid foundation for delivering and sustaining effective mental health and related services. These grants are unique in that they will support new and expanded planning and development to promote transformation to systems explicitly designed to foster recovery and meet the multiple needs of consumers. The Mental Health Transformation State Incentive Grant Program is responsive to the broad systemic recommendation contained in the final report of the President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, Achieving the Promise: Transforming Mental Health Care in America. The Commission goal is to increase the availability of high-quality services and overcome the existing fragmentation. |
|||||||||
Eligible applicants are the immediate office of the Chief Executive Officer (e.g., Governor) in the States, Territories, the District of Columbia, and Federally-recognized American Indian/Alaska Native Tribes or Tribal Organizations. ("Tribal Organization" refers to the recognized governing body of any Indian tribe or any legally established organization of Indians which is controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by such governing body or which is democratically elected by the adult members of the Indian community to be served by such an organization and which includes the maximum participation of Indians in all phases of activities.) The applicant's Chief Executive must appoint the Chairperson and members of the Transformation Working Group and must sign the application. Eligibility is limited because recipients of the Mental Health Transformation State Incentive Grants must have the ability to leverage and coordinate multiple sources of funding and other resources in order to achieve the goals of the President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health. |
