WASHINGTON – Today, Representative Raúl M. Grijalva announced $5,999,156 for 10 health centers in Arizona to launch and expand mental health and substance use disorder services. This is part of a larger announcement from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which announced $240 million for more than 400 community health centers across the country that care for more than 10 million people.
“Improving access to mental health care is vital for communities of color and underserved populations like those I represent,” said Rep. Grijalva. “Community health centers have demonstrated their effectiveness in serving these communities. This funding will enhance their ability to provide crucial behavioral health services, benefiting rural, urban, and tribal neighborhoods across Arizona.”
