FY 2024 Behavioral Health Service Expansion - Legacy Community Health Services seeks to expand mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) services through strategic integration into primary care settings, supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the Health Center Program BHSE (HRSA-24-078). Current national statistics reveal a critical shortfall in mental health and SUD services, with less than half of adults with mental health conditions and only 1.5 percent of those with SUDs receiving necessary treatment. This service gap is even more pronounced in underserved populations who primarily access health care through community health centers. In response to these alarming trends and guided by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Roadmap for Behavioral Health Integration, Legacy aims to leverage BHSE funding to substantially increase the availability of behavioral health services. Our goal is to address the large, unmet need within our service area.
