Tri-City is accepting sub-grant applications for the Mental Health Student Services Act (MHSSA) Project

In March 2022, Tri-City Mental Health Authority (Tri-City/TCMHA) accepted a Mental Health Student Services Act (MHSSA) grant from the California Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission (MHSOAC) in an effort to meet the following aims:

      • To promote school mental health as a prime opportunity to reach and serve at-risk children, families and neighborhoods;
      • To reach children, youth, and their families in an environment where they are comfortable and that is accessible; and
      • To help students succeed.

Through this MHSSA grant project, Tri-City is fostering stronger school-community mental health partnerships that can leverage resources to increase access to collaborative, culturally-relevant, coordinated, family-driven, community and school-based services for high-risk youth and young adults (ages 25 and under) in Pomona, Claremont, and La Verne. Tri-City is following a “no wrong door” philosophy, removing barriers to timely access to care, and providing young residents with mental health services on school campuses. Services include early intervention, suicide prevention, drop-out prevention, evidence-based mental health practices, and development and coordination of service plans to address ongoing needs.

As part of its MHSSA project, Tri-City is making grant funds available for partners to support associated efforts that “provide increased access to mental health services in locations that are easily accessible to students and their families.” To ensure funds are used in alignment with the purpose and goals of the MHSSA grant program and Tri-City’s specific MHSSA project, potential Sub-grantees are required to review, complete, and submit the following MHSSA Sub-grant Application.

The Request for Application (RFA) began February 1, 2023 through March 31, 2023. This Round 1 application is closed. Please visit the MHSSA sub-grant round 2 page for information about the current opportunity.

MHSSA Sub-grant applications will be accepted via email at grants@tricitymhs.org. For questions, please contact Erin Sapinoso, Program Analyst II at esapinoso@tricitymhs.org or (909) 784-3091.
