Abstract
In 2017, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awarded $200.5 million in Access Increases in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (AIMS) grants to health centers nationwide. Last week, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) found that 67 of the sampled 100 health centers did not use their AIMS grants properly. On the basis of the sample, the OIG estimated that 454 of 665 health centers did not use their AIMS grant funding in accordance with federal requirements and grant terms. The OIG estimated that centers charged unallowable costs totaling nearly $6 million and improperly allocated costs totaling $10.9 million to their AIMS grants that could have been spent on AIMS‐related purposes.
