The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is proposing updates to their application plan for the Mental Health and Substance Use Block Grants for fiscal years 2026-2027. These changes aim to improve clarity, update terminology, and better integrate behavioral health with overall health care. SAMHSA is inviting public comments on whether these information collections are helpful and necessary, and how they might reduce the burden on respondents. The estimated time commitment for these processes is projected to remain the same.
