The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is forecasting a grant opportunity titled "Assisted Outpatient Treatment Program for Individuals with Serious Mental Illness." This program aims to implement and evaluate new Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) programs, focusing on evidence-based practices to reduce psychiatric hospitalizations, homelessness, and interactions with the criminal justice system while enhancing health and social outcomes for individuals with serious mental illness (SMI). The estimated total program funding is $2,000,000, with three awards expected, and eligibility is limited to states, counties, cities, mental health systems, and other entities authorized to oversee AOT programs. Interested applicants can reach out to Katie Hager at katie.hager@samhsa.hhs.gov or (240) 276-1268 for further information, with the synopsis expected to be posted on December 16, 2024.
