Behavioral Health Funding Available to Facilities who Ask
NHCA/NALA has been working collaboratively with the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the “Nebraska Behavioral Health Regions” to address existing shortcomings in the system of behavioral/mental health services. The six behavioral health regions are in the process of developing plans to identify service delivery gaps and allocate funding to develop community-based services to fill these gaps. NHCA/NALA has been asked to make you aware of the planning and funding cycle for the behavioral health regions and to request your participation in this process. During the 2008 legislative session, the Legislature provided $11.6 million to be distributed as grants for “one-time” projects aimed at developing new or expanded community-based behavioral health services. These “one-time” funds are available now only to those who ask. For further explanation of the purpose of these funds and a suggested method of requesting these funds, NHCA/NALA has produced a memorandum for your assistance.
