Authority: Part E of Title V, Section 561 et. seq., of the Public Health Service Act, as amended and subject to the availability of funds.

These cooperative agreements will support States, political subdivisions within States, the District of Columbia, territories, Native American tribes and tribal organizations, in developing integrated home and community-based services and supports for children and youth with serious emotional disturbances and their families by encouraging the development and expansion of effective and enduring systems of care.

Eligibility for this program is statutorily limited to public entities such as:

  • State governments;

  • Indian tribes or tribal organizations (as defined in Section 4[b] and Section 4[c] of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act);

  • Governmental units within political subdivisions of a State, such as a county, city, or town;

  • District of Columbia government; and

  • Government of the Territories of Guam, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Northern Mariana Islands, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (now Palau, Micronesia, and the Marshall Islands). 

For applicants that have previously received a CMHI cooperative agreement, an application for a new cooperative agreement must specify a geographic service area within the State, county, tribe, or territory that is different from the geographic area of the current or past award (see Table 1). 

An exception to this requirement will be made specifically for States whose previous award(s) was to develop systems of care across the entire State.  Such States with a previous statewide implementation approach may apply for this cooperative agreement, as long as any previous awards under this program have expired in their entirety, including their no-cost extension years. States with prior CMHI grants must also demonstrate that the programs implemented under these previous awards have been sustained and that the target population they are now proposing is different from that in the previous award(s).
