ACTION: Notice of intent to award supplemental funding to the Certified 
Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) Expansion (Short Title: 
CCBHC Expansion Grants) NOFO SM-20-012 grant recipients funded in FY 
2020.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice is to inform the public that the Substance Abuse 
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is supporting 
administrative supplements (in scope of the parent award) up to 
$249,999 (total costs) for the 166 CCBHC Expansion grant recipients 
funded in FY 2020 under the Certified Community Behavioral Health 
Clinic (CCBHC) Expansion (Title: CCBHC Expansion Grants, NOFO SM-20-
012, with a project end date of April 30, 2022) to cover unanticipated 
costs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic or related mitigation efforts 
that could not have been covered by rebudgeting existing funds. The 
supplemental funding is to assist CCBHC Expansion grant recipients that 
had unplanned administrative, staffing, labor, and other program costs 
due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Blake, Substance Abuse and Mental 
Health Services Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 
telephone (240) 276-1747; email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It is expected that recipients of this 
supplemental funding will provide services and supports consistent with 
the approved activities in the FY 2020 CCBHC Expansion Grants NOFO SM-
20-012 and the majority of funds will be used for services. No more 
than 15 percent of these funds may be used for infrastructure, 
supplies, or equipment. SAMHSA expects that this program will improve 
the behavioral health of individuals across the nation by providing 
comprehensive community-based mental and substance use disorder 
services; treatment of co-occurring disorders; advance the integration 
of behavioral health with physical health care; assimilate and utilize 
evidence-based practices on a more consistent basis; and promote 
improved access to high quality care.
    Supplemental awards will be prioritized for FY 2020 CCBHC Expansion 
grant recipients with an unobligated balance of less than $1,000,000 
under their current grant.
    This is not a formal request for application. Assistance will only 
be provided to the 166 CCBHC Expansion grant recipients, funded in FY 
2020 under NOFO SM-20-012, based on the receipt of a satisfactory 
application and associated budget that is approved by a review group.
    Funding Opportunity Title: FY 2020 CCBHC Expansion Supplemental 
Funding.
    Assistance Listing Number: 93.696.
    Authority: Section 520A (42 U.S.C. 290bb-32) of the Public Health 
Service Act, as amended.
    Justification: Eligibility for this supplemental funding is limited 
to the 166 CCBHC Expansion grant recipients who received funding in FY 
2020 under the CCBHC Expansion Grants NOFO SM-20-012. These recipients 
have experienced unexpected and/or increased costs for program 
activities and services due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is expected 
that this supplemental funding will allow CCBHC Expansion grant 
recipients to provide the required and approved program activities and 
services that were affected during the pandemic.
