Community Mental Health Block Grant Public Hearing
[34 Pa.B. 5316] The Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (Office) is responsible for writing the Community Mental Health Block Grant (grant) for the Commonwealth. This block grant application is for the 2005-2006 year and is a 1-year grant. Previously, the grant application had been a multiyear application.

In accordance to the rules set forth by the Federal government, a public hearing must take place on the block grant. The comments and feedback from the public hearing will be incorporated into the implementation report that is due to the Federal government on December 1, 2004.
