Nearly $245 million of the billions of dollars appropriated by the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act will go toward youth behavioral health.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced Monday that several federal programs were given additional funds.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) awarded about $185.7 million. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awarded nearly $60 million, according to a news release. Both entities are divisions of HHS.
The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act was passed in the wake of the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. The bill was passed and signed into law in June 2022. It boosted federal funding for behavioral health by about $2.2 billion.
