SAMHSA Releases Treatment Systems for Homeless Grant Opportunity
Last week, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) released a request for applications for grants targeting people experiencing homelessness with substance use and mental health disorders. Programs specifically helping runaway and homeless youth, veterans, chronically homeless people and chronic inebriates will receive priority. SAMHSA has made $10 million available, of which $4.5 million is designated for permanent supportive housing programs. With each grant being a maximum of $400,000 per year for five years (dependent on available funding), SAMHSA expects to fund at least 25 programs.
