In 2023, the Office of Mental Health established the OMH Community Mental Health Loan Repayment Program (OMH CMHLRP). The FY 2022-23 budget included $9 million annually to fund this effort. The program supports designated community programs in the recruitment and retention of psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners (NPs).
For the FY 2024-25, $3 million annually remains available to fund more awards. These funds will support a minimum of 120 awards (60 psychiatrists/60 psychiatric NPs/PAs).
