Creates a grant program to bring mental health and substance use care to rural homes and workers.
This bill would create a new grant program to help people in rural areas and those working in farming, fishing, or forestry get mental health and substance use care at home. It would authorize up to $10 million each year for five years to be used for these services and the technology needed to deliver them.
Today, no dedicated federal grant program funds home-based mental health and substance use services. This includes people in rural areas or those working in farming, fishing, and forestry. If this bill becomes law, it would create such a program, authorizing up to $10 million each year from the government's budget year 2025 through 2029 to help these groups get care remotely.
