SAMHSA Mental Health and Substance Use Block Grant

The Combined Community Mental Health Block Grant (MHBG) and Substance Use Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services (SUPTRS) Block Grant are federal funding programs designed to support the mental health and substance use needs of individuals across Alaska. These grants provide essential resources to enhance community-based services, promote recovery, and improve the overall quality of behavioral health care.
