Targeted Capacity Expansion Grants for Jail Diversion Programs: The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2007 for Targeted Capacity Expansion Grants for Jail Diversion Programs. The purpose of this program is to promote the transformation of systems to improve services for justice-involved adults with mental illness. In 2002 the President created the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health to study the mental health service delivery system and to make recommendations for improving this system. Recommendations of this commission are provided in the 2003 final report. SAMHSAs Center for Mental Health Services is charged as the lead government agency to implement the goals and recommendations of the New Freedom Commission Report. One of the recommendations from the report was for widespread adoption of adult criminal justice diversion and re-entry strategies to avoid the unnecessary criminalization and extended incarceration of non-violent adult offenders with mental illnesses. The TCE Grants for Jail Diversion Program provides communities the opportunity to address this key recommendation. Targeted Capacity Expansion Grants for Jail Diversion Programs is one of SAMHSAs services grant programs. SAMHSAs services grants are designed to address gaps in substance abuse and mental health services and/or to increase the ability of States, units of local government, American Indian/Alaska Native tribes and tribal organizations, and community- and faith-based organizations to help specific populations or geographic areas with serious, emerging mental health and substance abuse problems. SAMHSA intends that its services grants result in the delivery of services as soon as possible after award. Service delivery should begin by the 8th month of the project or upon completion of the planning phase. The TCE Grants for Jail Diversion Program are authorized under Section 520G of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2010 focus areas 18 (Mental Health and Mental Disorders) and 26 (Substance Abuse).
