Block grants are given to states to help meet their community behavioral health needs. Congress mandates these grants, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) administers them.

SAMHSA manages two block grant programs, each with its own goals and rules: * Community Mental Health Services Block Grant (MHBG) * Substance Use Prevention, Treatment and Recovery Services Block Grant (SUPTRS) In Colorado, the Behavioral Health Administration (BHA) oversees these funds and makes sure all legal requirements are met.

As the State Single Authority (SSA) for Substance Abuse Services and the State Mental Health Authority (SMHA), BHA applies for yearly funding for both MHBG and SUPTRS block grants. More information about block grant laws and regulations can be located on SAMHSA’s website. ## What are the purposes of block grants?

Block grants support programs that provide prevention, treatment, and recovery services for behavioral health. Block grant funds are used to: * Pay for treatment and services for people without insurance or those who temporarily lose insurance coverage. * Pay for treatment and services that are not covered by insurance.

* Pay for prevention activities for people not identified as needing treatment. * Collect data to determine the effectiveness of the behavioral health system. BHA welcomes public comments on the annual Block Grant Application, annual Block Grant Reports, and general inquiries about the block grants.
