The Montgomery County Local Behavioral Health Authority (LBHA), a division of HHS, has been invited to apply as a Community Support Partnership under Track 1 eligibility. The CSP grant program seeks to sustain and expand access to high quality behavioral health services and supports for Maryland students, while continuing to build a statewide framework of CSPs to coordinate the delivery of these services. CSPs should support a continuum of holistic mental health and substance use support services, from prevention and mental health promotion through treatment and recovery. Partnerships should leverage existing services and relationships and engage new and diverse partners that represent and serve the community. These grants will fund both behavioral health services for a geographic area, as well as the activities of a local coordinating agency, or Hub. Service providers interested in grant funding to provide services in Montgomery County MUST apply to this RFA and not independently to the CHRC.
