- Interested and eligible applicants and submit their applications by referencing the CFDA number(s): 93.243 Substance Abuse and Mental Health ServicesProjects of Regional and National Significance.
- This funding opportunity was created on Feb 3, 2015 and posted on Feb 3, 2015.
- Applicants must submit their applications by Apr 9, 2015. (Agency may still review applications by suitable applicants for the remaining/unused allocated funding in 2026.)
- The funding agency has allocated a total of $15,181,000.00 to eligible and selected applicants.
- Each selected applicant is eligible to receive up to $3,000,000.00 in funding.
- The number of recipients for this funding is limited to 8 candidate(s).
- Eligible applicants include: Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification).
- Eligible applicants are either the State Mental Health Authority (SMHA) or the Single State Agency (SSA) in the states listed below. However, SAMHSA s expectation is that both the SSA and the SMHA will work in partnership to fulfill the requirements of the grant. To demonstrate this collaboration, applicants must provide a letter of commitment from the partnering entity in Attachment 4 of the application. If the SMHA and the SSA are one entity, applicants must include a statement to that effect in Attachment 4. SAMHSA believes that limiting eligibility to states is the most efficient and effective way to facilitate a systems approach (i.e., strengthen or develop infrastructure). In addition, states are in a unique position to efficiently and effectively impact the goals of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) Strategic Plan. States that received an FY 2013 or FY 2014 CABHI States grant are not eligible to apply because they are currently receiving funding for this program. In addition, eligibility is being restricted because SAMHSA seeks to further expand the impact of the CABHI States program across the nation.

Opportunity Summary:
Cooperative Agreements to Benefit Homeless Individuals for States (CABHI States) is a SAMHSA discretionary grant program jointly supported by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) and the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) for FY 2015. The central aim is to help states strengthen or build the statewide infrastructure needed to expand access to coordinated, evidence-based services for people experiencing chronic homelessness who also have substance use disorders, serious mental illness (SMI), or co-occurring mental and substance use disorders. The program also explicitly targets veterans experiencing homelessness or chronic homelessness with the same behavioral health conditions. In practice, CABHI States is designed to push systems-level change so that treatment, housing, and recovery supports operate as an integrated pathway rather than as disconnected programs.
The opportunity emphasizes building state treatment and service systems that can deliver accessible and effective care paired with permanent supportive housing, peer supports, and other recovery support services. A key theme is coordination and integration: applicants are expected to improve how behavioral health treatment links with primary care, and how both connect to permanent housing strategies. This reflects a “whole-system†approach to reducing homelessness, where stable housing is treated as foundational and services are wrapped around the person to support recovery and long-term stability.
SAMHSA lays out three intended results. First, the program seeks stronger statewide strategies for planning, coordination, and integration across behavioral health, primary care, and permanent housing, with the ultimate goal of reducing homelessness. Second, it aims to increase the number of people who are living in permanent housing and receiving behavioral health treatment and recovery support services, reinforcing the idea that housing stability and ongoing care should be pursued together. Third, it targets increases in the number of individuals placed into permanent housing and successfully enrolled in Medicaid and other mainstream benefits, specifically naming SSI/SSDI, TANF, and SNAP as examples. This benefits focus signals that states should build processes that routinely connect eligible individuals to coverage and income/food supports that sustain housing and treatment access over time.
Funding details show a relatively small number of larger awards. SAMHSA expected to make 8 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $15,181,000. The award ceiling is $3,000,000, and there is no stated award floor. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for states to pursue the grant and directs attention toward implementation capacity and interagency coordination rather than securing non-federal match dollars. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is health. The CFDA number listed is 93.243, tied to SAMHSA’s Projects of Regional and National Significance.
Eligibility is tightly limited to state-level authorities to support a statewide systems approach. Only the State Mental Health Authority (SMHA) or the Single State Agency (SSA) for substance abuse services may apply, and SAMHSA makes clear it expects these entities to work in partnership. Applicants must document this collaboration by including a letter of commitment from the partnering entity in Attachment 4, or, if the SMHA and SSA are the same organization, a statement explaining that. SAMHSA justifies the state-only approach as the most efficient way to strengthen or develop infrastructure and as a way to align state actions with the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) Strategic Plan. To spread the program nationally, states that already received CABHI States grants in FY 2013 or FY 2014 are not eligible to apply in FY 2015.
The key dates for this FY 2015 competition are: it was posted February 3, 2015, with an application closing date of April 9, 2015, and an archive date of May 9, 2015. For access issues with the full announcement, SAMHSA listed a grants management contact: Eileen Bermudez, Office of Financial Resources, Division of Grants Management, at (240) 276-1412 and eileen.bermudez@samhsa.hhs.gov, located at 1 Choke Cherry Road, Room 7-1091, Rockville, MD 20857.
