Project: Independent Evaluation of the
Community Mental Health Services
Block Grant Program—NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), the Center for Mental
Health Services (CMHS) administers the
Community Mental Health Services
Block Grant (CMHS BG). The
Community Mental Health Services
Block Grant was funded by Congress to
develop community-based systems of
care for adults with serious mental
illness (SMI) and children with severe
emotional disorders (SED), and has been
the largest Federal program dedicated to
improving community mental health
services. States have latitude in
determining how to spend their funds to
support services for adults with SMI
and children with SED. The only
requirements outlined in the
authorizing legislation for State receipt
of CMHS BG funds are provisions to
increase children’s services, create a
State mental health planning council,
and to develop a State mental health
plan to be submitted to the Secretary of
Health and Human Services (HHS). The

State mental health planning council is
to comprise various State constituents
including providers, administrators, and
mental health services consumers. Each
State plan must:
• Provide for the establishment and
implementation of an organized
community-based system of care for
individuals with mental illness.
• Estimate the incidence and
prevalence of adults with SMI and
children with SED within the State.
• Provide for a system of integrated
services appropriate for the multiple
needs of children.
• Provide for outreach to and services
for rural and homeless populations.
• Describe the financial and other
resources necessary to implement the
plan and describe how the CMHS BG
funds are to be spent.
In addition, Congress included a
maintenance-of-effort (MOE)
requirement that a State’s expenditures
for community mental health services
be no less than the average spent in the
two preceding fiscal years.
The CMHS BG received an adequate
rating on the OMB PART in 2003.
Clearly in the follow up period to that
assessment, one of the critical areas that
must be addressed is the expectation
that an independent and objective
evaluation of the program is to be
carried out initially and at regular
intervals. In addition, the program
evaluation has been designed to be of
high quality, sufficient scope and
unbiased (with appropriate
documentation for each of these
elements). In fact it is in addressing an
evaluation of the program that critical
elements of accountability and program
performance are also identified and
initially assessed. The rigor of the
evaluation is seen in how it addresses
the effectiveness of the program’s
impact with regard to its mission and
long term goals. By legislative design
the CMHS BG Program has previously
focused on legislative compliance. Now
it addresses the impact of the program
nationally, over time, with a view to
coming to terms with identified program
deficiencies and the corresponding
impact of proposed changes.
In this evaluation, a multi-method
evaluation approach is being used to
examine Federal and State performance
with regard to the CMHS BG and its
identified goals. This approach
emphasizes a qualitative and
quantitative examination of both the
CMHS BG process (e.g., activities and
outputs in the logic model) and systemlevel outcomes whereby Federal and
State stakeholder perspectives on the
CMHS BG, as captured through semistructured interviews and surveys, are
