✅ Funding Update: Maine’s mental health safety net just got stronger.
The Legislature’s Appropriations Committee voted to approve funding for Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs), which include Sweetser’s Hope & Healing Centers in Brunswick, Sanford, and …Lewiston. This investment protects walk-in, same-day access to mental health care for Mainers of all ages.
Thank you to Rep. Annie Graham for championing LD 721, and to the bill’s co-sponsors: Sen. Marianne Moore, Rep. Holly Stover, Rep. Deqa Dhalac, Rep. Dan Shagoury, Rep. Flavia DeBrito, Rep. Julie McCabe, Rep. Michael Brennan, Rep. Kristen Cloutier, and Rep. Lucien Daigle.
We’re also grateful for the leadership and strong support from Health & Human Services Committee Chairs Rep. Michele Meyer and Sen. Henry Ingwersen, and Appropriations Chairs Rep. Drew Gattine and Sen. Peggy Rotundo.
This strategic, high-return investment will protect what is working, maximize federal dollars, and ensure Maine’s behavioral health safety net is strong enough to meet the rising demand we are seeing across the state.

"We are already seeing an uptick in the people coming to us for uncompensated care. So what we need is for this funding to help us to address that need, to keep vulnerable people — especially those who are underinsured or uninsured — keep them having access to care," he said. …"Sweetser doesn't say 'no' to anybody who approaches us for care. We help everybody. But not every organization can sustain unlimited, uncompensated care."
Sweetser says Maine’s mental health safety net is facing a high-stakes funding cliff.
