The program encompasses two block grants: the Substance Use Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services (SUPTRS) Block Grant (CFDA 93.959) and the Community Mental Health Services Block Grant (MHBG, CFDA 93.958). Funds are distributed to all 24 Maryland jurisdictions, primarily through local health departments and Local Behavioral Health Authorities (LBHAs), Core Service Agencies (CSAs), and Local Addictions Authorities (LAAs), to support: (1) primary prevention strategies targeting the general population and higher-risk groups, including social marketing campaigns, prevention education programs, compliance checks, responsible beverage training, and support for four university Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug (ATOD) Prevention Centers; (2) priority treatment and recovery support services for uninsured individuals or those with short coverage gaps; (3) priority services not covered by insurance for low-income individuals that demonstrate improved outcomes; and (4) collection of performance and outcome data to evaluate behavioral health services nationwide. Funds supplement services covered by Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance. Mini-grant applications are also available under each block grant for smaller sub-awards. The BHA Prevention Office provides training and technical assistance to grantees and contracts with universities to deliver additional technical assistance. Priority populations include children with serious emotional disturbance (SED), individuals with serious mental illness (SMI), individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) including pregnant women and women with dependent children, people who inject drugs, persons with co-occurring MH/SUD conditions, service members, veterans and their families, justice-involved individuals, older adults, and individuals at risk for overdose or suicide. The current FY26-27 application cycle is authorized under OMB No. 0930-0168 (Approved: 05/28/2025; Expires: 01/31/2028), with the project period spanning 10/1/2025–9/30/2027 (SUPTRS) and 7/1/2025–6/30/2027 (MHBG). The FFY27 SUPTRS Mini Block Grant Application and FFY27 MHBG Mini Block Grant Application are currently in public comment phase (planning period 10/1/2026–9/30/2027). The FY26-27 SUPTRS BG Application was most recently printed 6/30/2026 and covers an active fiscal cycle running through September 2027. The FY26-27 MHBG Application was most recently printed 6/30/2026 (initial submission 08/29/2025, latest revision 04/06/2026), covering the planning period 7/1/2025–6/30/2027. The FFY27 planning period (10/1/2026–9/30/2027) is currently active as of October 2026, with the FFY27 Mini Block Grant Applications in public comment phase. Annual/biennial state plan submission is mandated by 42 U.S.C. §300x-51; SSP funding must be re-applied for on an annual basis. Maryland is partnering with four new colleges and universities as part of ongoing ATOD prevention center expansion. The MHBG application confirms active initiatives including new partnerships, ongoing crisis system development, and multi-year investments in mobile crisis teams, coordinated specialty care, and early serious mental illness services.","funding":{"details":"FFY 2027 total budget: $34,922,380, including: Substance Use Disorder Prevention and Treatment ($14,997,259), Recovery Support Services ($7,886,510), Substance Use Primary Prevention ($7,115,477), Capacity Building/Systems Development ($3,177,015), and Administration ($1,746,119)."},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"d5205023-6f11-552a-9f58-707fa076bb38","name":"Maryland Department of Health","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"3df50e0f-93ed-4097-81b2-76ca8612dcbe","allIds":[{"id":"3df50e0f-93ed-4097-81b2-76ca8612dcbe","status":"active"},{"id":"84c20342-1cb7-4a06-abad-e6ec99f1e351","status":"active"},{"id":"c3875189-f206-43ef-8ebf-ffdce4d26b87","status":"active"},{"id":"bc02ae52-8a85-4313-a661-cd5a1cb4f217","status":"active"},{"id":"cfed96c1-5420-4e65-acda-b6f4c94fbe27","status":"active"},{"id":"974a3776-65b8-4cd5-b4f2-4171ce7009dc","status":"active"},{"id":"b6f1abe3-ab41-459a-aa9a-180f9096ec90","status":"active"},{"id":"166c02a5-ac69-4391-bd59-fe8c8cc24a4d","status":"active"},{"id":"b32f9dcd-7bdc-4131-a4e4-f4cd2598419d","status":"active"},{"id":"996bc69a-2bac-497b-8d11-7dfd8187516c","status":"active"},{"id":"74abeb15-d99c-4f1c-8f93-fa2e395593e6","status":"active"},{"id":"7bcae1e0-f2ce-4189-af6c-55b5501e12a0","status":"active"},{"id":"4ca1ad7c-094e-47ba-8560-de3ac91c8013","status":"active"},{"id":"8a85f9e0-8d56-4614-b0f0-fb9aa6cf9478","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"MDH"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"for_profit_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"for_profit_not_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"}],"source":"https://health.maryland.gov/bha/Pages/SAMHSA-Block-Grant.aspx","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Alyssa Lord (Grantee Contact, MHBG)","email":"alyssa.lord@maryland.gov,","phone":"443-651-0181 (Alyssa Lord)"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Local health departments, community organizations, universities, and organizations providing behavioral health prevention, treatment, and recovery support services in all 24 Maryland jurisdictions, particularly serving uninsured or low-income individuals.
