Grants for local suicide stabilization services
This bill would create a competitive federal grant program to fund stabilization services for people with serious thoughts of suicide. Grants would go to eligible local providers, crisis centers, State mental health and health agencies, U.S. territories, and Indian tribes or tribal organizations. Funds would support suicide-specific, evidence-based services in the least-restrictive setting, including outpatient, virtual, technology-enabled care, and peer support. Each grant would last up to 5 years (not renewable) and the bill would authorize $30 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031. Applicants would need a continuity plan for services after the grant ends, and the Assistant Secretary would evaluate projects and provide training and technical assistance.
