Supplemental Block Grant and FMAP Funding

Federal legislation provided supplemental funding to mental health services through time-limited expansions of:

  • Community Mental Health Services (CMHS) Block Grant
  • Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) share of funds for Medicaid programs

The Office of Mental Health (OMH) worked with community stakeholders to identify opportunities for these funds to best meet unmet needs for people with or at risk of serious mental illness or serious emotional disturbance. Feedback from these sessions, along with written feedback and other stakeholder input, was used to develop plans for the funds.

For more details on the feedback sessions, contact: planning@omh.ny.gov.
