Florida intends to use $1,800,000 in grant funds to purchase an array of behavioral health services for the target populations identified in the Request for Application. Specifically, $600,000 will be allocated to IMPOWER (through the Central Florida Cares Health Systems managing entity) to provide psychiatric and therapeutic services via telehealth for healthcare practitioners and individuals experiencing mental health and/or substance use issues as a result of COVID-19. The remaining $1,200,000 will be allocated to managing entities based on highest impact of COVID-19 in their service area to serve individuals with serious mental illness and/or substance use disorders. These funds will purchase crisis intervention, behavioral health treatment, and recovery support services.
