Notice of Funding Availability: State Care Coordination
The Allegany County Local Behavioral Health Authority (LBHA) has announced the Fiscal Year 2026 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for grant funds to provide State Care Coordination (SCC) services for Allegany County. The State Care Coordination (SCC) program is a recovery support service that promotes the continuum of care by helping adults and older adults across Maryland who are in varying stages of recovery from a Substance Use Disorder (SUD) or co-occurring Substance Use and Mental Health Disorder (SUD/MH), transition back into the community from an American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) residential or outpatient level of care (1, 2.1, 2.5-partial hospitalization program (PHP), 3.1, 3.3, 3.5, 3.7, 3.7wm – withdrawal management), incarceration, or homelessness. State Care Coordinators (SCCs) improve recovery outcomes by providing short-term case management services that support participants’ access to recovery support services. The SCC will screen individuals for eligibility to access Maryland Recovery Net (MDRN) client support and recovery housing services, facilitate referrals to a higher level of care for behavioral health treatment if needed, as well as to other community resources such as entitlements, employment and legal services, conduct outreach to the behavioral health and recovery support community within the jurisdiction, and collaborate closely with other SCCs across the state to assist with “warm hand-offs” if a participant is referred to another jurisdiction.
