The FY 22 funding period runs from April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022.
"The mental health board continues to fund agencies within the community that provide direct and comprehensive services that can be easily accessed by residents of Hanover Township," said Kristen Cruthers, chairwoman of the mental health board.
"Agencies serving our residents are encouraged to apply, whether they are past recipients of annual funds or a new agency."
Annual funding applications and guidelines are available on the Hanover Township website, www.hanover-township.org.
Completed applications are due by Friday, Sept. 18. Agencies receiving funding will be notified in January 2021.
