Community-based organizations (CBOs) are local public or private nonprofit organizations, peer-run organizations, or faith-based organizations that address the needs of their communities by providing substance use and/or mental health services. While CBOs are vital in addressing health care gaps, they face significant financial hurdles, particularly in securing recurring and unrestricted funding. This webinar will present findings from a survey of 133 CBOs across 33 states that contributed to a new SAMHSA report. The report explores the financing landscape and challenges faced by CBOs providing mental health and substance use services, with a focus on challenges obtaining public funds such as the Community Mental Health Services Block Grant (MHBG) and Substance Use Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services Block Grant (SUBG). The webinar will feature a panel discussion and Q&A session with national leaders of community-based behavioral health organizations who will discuss the report findings and strategies for improving their financial sustainability.
This webinar is hosted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) on February 6, 2025.
