Montana Invests $15.8 Million To Boost Community-Based Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities Care  

Montana plans to use $15.8 million for one-time grants to increase bed capacity for community-based residential providers offering behavioral health care or developmental disability services in the state. Montana’s Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) expects to finalize contracts in coming weeks with eligible providers who applied for the funding and received an award. 

The grant program will aim to stabilize or increase residential services across Montana and to build sustainable capacity. Potential uses of the grant funds include helping purchase or construct new facilities, upgrading and maintaining existing facilities, and hiring and training . . .
