SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Intended Recipient(s) of the Awards: Fifty-four PMHCA award recipients will receive supplemental funding awards to continue to address behavioral health needs of children and adolescents. Funds are provided from the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) (Pub. L. 117-159) and PMHCA program annual appropriations. HRSA is providing supplemental funding for all PMHCA current award recipients in a manner that will ensure that, as a result of all PMHCA funding provided over the past two fiscal years (FY), all award recipients will be offered consistent funding over a consistent timeframe.

Justification: HRSA is issuing non-competitive supplemental funds in FY 2024 for all PMHCA award recipients to continue to address behavioral health needs among children and adolescents. HRSA will offer supplemental funding for all 54 PMHCA current award recipients in a manner that will ensure that, as a result of all PMHCA funding provided over the past two fiscal years, all award recipients will be offered consistent funding over a consistent timeframe. If PMHCA current award recipients decline supplemental funding, that declined funding will be distributed among remaining recipients as allowable. Supplemental funding will be awarded through three consecutive actions:

First Action: Offer supplemental funding of $158,000 to 29 PMHCA recipients who will then be tracked with new U4A grant numbers; these award recipients will continue to be tracked separately for their ARP (Pub. L. 117-2) funding.

Second Action: Offer supplemental funding of $158,000 to 25 PMHCA recipients who are already tracked with U4C grant numbers.

Third Action: Offer supplemental funding of $255,000 to the 19 PMHCA recipients that did not receive these supplemental funds in FY 2023, who are tracked under the new U4A grant numbers issued in the First Action.

PMHCA program award recipients will continue to expand the reach and capacity of PMHCA programs started in FY 2022 to provide training and tele-consult support to pediatric primary care providers as well as to providers in other settings, including emergency departments and educational agencies and schools.

The above activities are within the original scope of the PMHCA program (HRSA-23-081, HRSA-22-121, and HRSA-21-122).

Carole Johnson,

Administrator.
