Abstract

What happens to community mental health centers when federal funding ends? Analysis of the funding patterns of a cohort of "graduate" community mental health centers indicates that these centers remained fiscally viable subsequent to termination of basic federal grants. However, further analysis revealed two distinct funding patterns within the cohort. One group relied primarily on increased third-party reimbursements to offset the end of basic federal grants. The other sought more state funds and additional federal grants available through the Community Mental Health Center Amendments of 1975. As more centers "graduate," federal "floor funding" may be necessary to insure the survival of some of them.

摘要

当联邦资金终止时，社区心理健康中心会怎样？对一批“毕业”的社区心理健康中心的资金模式分析表明，这些中心在基本联邦拨款终止后仍保持财务上的可行性。然而，进一步分析发现该群体内存在两种不同的资金模式。一组主要依靠增加第三方报销来抵消基本联邦拨款的终止。另一组则寻求更多的州资金以及通过1975年《社区心理健康中心修正案》获得的额外联邦拨款。随着越来越多的中心“毕业”，可能需要联邦“保底资金”来确保其中一些中心的生存。
