More community mental health help for children

Effective January 11, 2026, the law funds child assertive community treatment, an intensive community mental health service. Maine’s Department of Health and Human Services must seek competitive grant applications by March 1, 2026. The grant supports one pilot team serving the Lewiston or Bangor area, with a contract lasting no more than two years. The grant recipient must use incentives to attract, train, and retain staff. One-time funding totals $338,782 for fiscal year 2026-27, including an $80,000 General Fund grant for the pilot. The remaining service funding includes $102,717 in General Fund money, $155,321 in federal expenditures, and $744 in federal block grants. These funding lines provide no money for fiscal year 2025-26; none is a direct payment to families. Within 90 days after the pilot ends, the department must report results and recommendations for continuing it to the Legislature’s health committee. That committee can introduce related legislation at the next regular or special session.
