LANSING, Mich. — Michigan community health organizations are set to get funding, according to Senator Debbie Stabenow.

Senator Stabenow said the state is set to receive $54,452,014 in new funding for 18 community mental health organizations that have been selected as "Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics."

Stabenow said this comes as a result of the Excellence in Mental Health and Addiction Treatment Act, which established new Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics.

"These clinics are required to provide a comprehensive set of services including 24/7--365 crisis services, outpatient mental health and substance abuse treatment services, immediate screenings, risk assessments, diagnoses and care coordination with emergency rooms, law enforcement and veteran groups," Stabenow stated in a press release.

$200 million has been secured in the FY 2020 appropriations bill and $250 million has been secured in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act for the national Certified Community Behavioral Health Expansion Grants program, Stabenow's office said.
