Matsui Leads Delegation in Urging California to Apply For Federal Behavioral Health Programs


Dear Behavioral Health Community,


CBHA has been working closely with Congresswoman Doris Matsui and key stakeholders to ensure California explores the full potential of signing onto the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) demonstration grant. This opportunity would expand access to critical mental health and substance use treatment services across the state.


As Congresswoman Matsui and 27 other members of the California Congressional delegation urge CalHHS to apply for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) FY 2025 CCBHC Planning Grants, CBHA remains committed to supporting this initiative. We will continue to encourage our behavioral health community to back this effort and make a lasting impact on mental health care in California.


Together, we can ensure that every Californian has access to comprehensive, quality behavioral health services.

In Partnership,

Dear Secretary Ghaly,


As members of the California Congressional delegation, we write to express our belief that California should apply for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) FY 2025 Cooperative Agreements for Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) Planning Grants. Further, we believe that California should strongly consider applying for the CCBHC Medicaid Demonstration opportunity when it becomes available. We are greatly appreciative of California’s efforts to address behavioral health through initiatives such as Proposition 1, 9-8-8 implementation, crisis response, and Medicaid behavioral health reform. We believe the federal support offered by the CCBHC demonstration will complement these efforts to establish a stronger continuum of care for Californians seeking behavioral health services.
