​Bond BHCIP Round 2: Unmet Needs

Bond BHCIP Round 2: Unmet Needs conditional grant funding awards were announced on March 11, 2026. Through this final round of funding, DHCS prioritized the remaining gaps in the behavioral health continuum, mental health community residential and crisis settings, distribution of funds to rural/remote areas with outstanding behavioral health needs, geographic areas with no prior BHCIP infrastructure projects, and regional models. DHCS has awarded 66 infrastructure projects totaling $1.18 billion to support 130 mental health and/or substance use disorders facilities and create 2,554 new beds and 4,273 new outpatient treatment slots across California.

*Grant funding awards remain conditional and contingent upon final DHCS verification of the grantee’s eligibility and use of bond funds, identified match amount and source(s), completion of award certification steps, clear title of property, final execution of the Program Funding Agreement, and fulfillment of all program requirements. All Bond BHCIP Round 2 conditional awards are undergoing final evaluation for the final award notice.
