This notice is to inform the public that the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is supporting an administrative supplement in scope of the parent award for an eligible grant recipient funded under the FY 2022 Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) Planning, Development and Implementation Grants Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) SM-22-002.
