AHCCCS Grants Initiatives
The Division of Behavioral Health and Housing (DBHH) Grants management team pursues, implements, and oversees all grants administered by the agency and is responsible for advancing AHCCCS' clinical and quality strategies for Integrated System of Care, the Arizona crisis system, and the AHCCCS Housing Program.
Many of the grants DBHH oversees are federal grants, including the Substance Use Prevention, Treatment and Recovery Services Block Grant (SUBG formerly known as SABG), the Mental Health Block Grant (MHBG), other federal grants related to prevention and treatment services, as well as discretionary grants including the State Pilot Grant Program for Treatment for Pregnant and Postpartum Women (PPW-PLT), and the State Opioid Response grant.
The DBHH Grants management team manages day-to-day federal grant activities, including research and writing, implementation and contract management, and oversight and monitoring but does not directly administer or award funding to providers. In an effort to support integration and maximize the effectiveness of grant funding, AHCCCS passes the majority of the federal grant funding to our contracted health plans with AHCCCS Complete Care-Regional Behavioral Health Agreements (ACC-RBHA) through the Non-Title XIX/XXI contracts and our tribal partners through Tribal Behavioral Health Authority (TRBHA) Intergovernmental Agreements (IGA). The ACC-RBHAs and TRBHAs submit annual plans to AHCCCS that are incorporated into our Block Grant plans and discretionary grant applications submitted to SAMHSA. The ACC-RBHAs and TRBHAs contract with behavioral health providers serving Arizona residents within their respective Geographic Service Areas (GSA) or tribal land to ensure access to this funding across the state.
The DBHH Grants management team collaborates with other AHCCCS divisions to identify best practices and services for individuals in need of mental health and substance use disorder services.
