Rhode Island has been implementing a Behavioral Health System of Care for Children and Youth (SOC) since 2021. The SOC includes foundational, program, and connector components. The program and connector components - universal screening and prevention, Mobile Response and Stabilization Services, care coordination, home and community-based services, residential services, a single point of access, and evaluation - are all foundationally rooted in ensuring equity, workforce transformation, community and family outreach and engagement, and sustainable funding. As we note throughout this application, EOHHS is braiding funding from multiple sources to implement the entire SOC. This application focuses on MRSS funding, which is best understood as a program component of our overarching system of care.
HHS’ Tracking Accountability in Government Grants System (TAGGS) website provides access to detailed descriptions of grants, loans, aggregated direct payments and other types of financial assistance awarded by the HHS Operating Divisions (OPDIVs) and the Office of the Secretary Staff Divisions (STAFFDIVs).
