-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) is reannouncing the
following grant program:
Grants for Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for
Children and Adolescents with Serious Emotional Disturbance
Under the authority of section 561 of the Public Health Service
Act, as amended by Public Law 102-321, the CMHS will accept
applications from States, political subdivisions of States, and Indian
tribes for the purpose of providing comprehensive community mental
health services for children and adolescents with serious emotional
disturbance. The grants will be used to support a broad array of
community-based and family-focused services for children and
adolescents with serious emotional, behavioral, or mental disorders to
enable communities to develop coordinated local systems of care which
involve mental health, child welfare, education, juvenile justice and
other agencies, as appropriate. Approximately $10-15 million will be
available to support approximately 10-15 grants in FY 1994. The receipt
date for applications for FY 1994 funds is May 10, 1994. The Catalog of
Federal Domestic Assistance number for this program is 93.104.
The Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children and
Adolescents with Serious Emotional Disturbance program was originally
announced on April 15, 1993 (Federal Register, Vol. 58, No. 71) and FY
1993 grant awards were made in September 1993. This program has
subsequently been updated to: (1) Provide further clarification of the
definition of a community; (2) provide additional specifications on the
services that a grantee must provide in developing the system of care;
(3) clarify that Indian tribal applicants receiving grants under
Section 103 of P.L. 93-638 are exempt from the restriction which
prohibits the use of Federal funds as a match; (4) provide greater
explanation/clarification of the review criteria; and (5) incorporate
other minor technical changes related to individual contacts and
addresses, and to help ensure overall clarity.
Application kits including the PHS 5161-1 application form, a copy
of the updated announcement, and guidance for submitting an application
are available from: Grants Management Office, Center for Mental Health
Services, 5600 Fishers Lane, room 15-87, Rockville, MD 20857,
Telephone: (301) 443-4456.
