Abigail Spanberger today announced awards totaling $69.7 million for the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services to strengthen its mental health and substance abuse-focused programs in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
These major awards from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration were made possible by the American Rescue Plan, which Spanberger voted to pass and President Joe Biden signed into law in March 2021.
