GRANTS FOR COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH CENTERS
SEC. 201. (a)(1) The Secretary may make grants to any public or nonprofit private community mental health center to assist it in meeting its costs of operation (other than costs related to construction). (2) No application for a grant under paragraph (1) for a community mental health center which has not received a grant for its operation under the Community Mental Health Centers Act may be approved unless the application is accompanied by assurances, satisfactory to the Secretary, that the grant applied for and the State, local, and other funds and the fees, premiums, and third-party reimbursements which the applicant may reasonably be expected to collect in the year for which the grant would be made are sufficient to meet the projected costs of operation for that year. (3) Grants under paragraph (1) may only be made for a grantee's costs of operation during the first eight years after its establishment. In the case of a community mental health center which received a grant under section 220 of the Community Mental Health Centers Act (as in effect before the date of enactment of the Community Mental Health Centers Amendments of 1975) or section 203(a) of such Act (as in effect after such date), such center shall, for purposes of grants under paragraph (1), be considered as having been in operation since its establishment for a number of years equal to the sum of the number of grants it received under such sections and the number of grants it has received under paragraph (1). (b) Each grant under subsection (a) to a community mental health center shall be made for the costs of its operation for the one-year period beginning on the first day of the month in which such grant is made, except that if at the end of such period a center has not obligated all the funds received by it under a grant, the center may use the unobligated funds under the grant in the succeeding year for the same purposes for which such grant was made but only if the center is eligible to receive a grant under subsection (a) for such succeeding year.
