HRSA announced $240 million in awards to launch and expand mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) services in more than 400 community health centers across the country that care for more than 10 million people. These grants will support expanding access to needed care to help tackle the nation’s mental health and opioid crises — two pillars of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Unity Agenda for the nation. Read the press release on HHS’ website.
