Summary: On March 7, 2025, the Community Services Department (CSD)
issued a NOFO for FAA funding for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026. Proposals were
accepted for the action areas of BHSUD and Economic Stability/Mobility
(ES/M). The BHSUD action areas align
with the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) strategic
priority of addressing substance use and behavior
disorders. These priorities were developed in collaboration with the Behavioral
Health, Substance Use and Co-Occurring Disorders
(BHSUCOD) Advisory Board and community input during the development of the
Behavioral Health and Substance Use Disorder Plan 2024 (2024 Plan). Public
comment periods were held in March and May 2024, and BCC approved the 2024 Plan
on October 22, 2024. The ES/M action areas align with the BCC’s strategic
priority of economic development and are based on data and feedback collected
during the Community Conversations meeting held on December 11, 2024, which
helped establish funding priorities for the ES/M category. Funding for these allocations
is included in the County Administrator’s proposed FY 2026 budget and is
subject to approval by the BCC in September 2025. Final FAA contracts,
including outcomes and performance measures, will be presented to the BCC after
contract negotiations are complete. Countywide (JBR)
