The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is offering a grant opportunity titled "Building Communities of Recovery". This grant aims to mobilize and connect community-based resources to increase the availability and quality of long-term recovery support for individuals with substance use disorders (SUD) and co-occurring substance use and mental disorders (COD).
The grant recipients will be expected to support the development, enhancement, expansion, and delivery of recovery support services (RSS) directly to individuals, as well as promote and educate the community about recovery. The program seeks to improve the availability and accessibility of recovery support services for those in need.
Eligibility for this grant is limited to Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs), which are defined as independent, non-profit organizations primarily governed by individuals in recovery from substance use disorders and/or co-occurring substance use and mental disorders. These organizations should reflect the community they serve.
The grant has an estimated total program funding of $6,000,000, with an award ceiling of $300,000. It is expected that approximately 20 awards will be granted. The grant requires cost sharing or matching.
