Sustainability Planning Tool Kit (Draft)
This Sustainability Planning Tool Kit, created by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) Child & Adolescent Family Branch, is intended to help funded communities ensure that systems of care continue to be in place long after Federal funds are gone. These “tools” are designed to assist funded communities in assessing their current status in efforts to sustain critical elements and objectives of systems of care, facilitate the process of completing sustainability strategic plans, and guide communities in raising matching funds to sustain their programs.
