- Eligible applicants include: Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification).
- Eligibility for this supplemental funding announcement is limited to the current FY 2013 CABHI States grantees. CMHS is providing supplemental funding for this program in order a create a more comprehensive program that is consistent with the CABHI States model in order to better address the full range of individuals who experience chronic homeless and have behavioral health issues, including those with only serious mental illness and homeless veterans. SAMHSA believes that it is cost effective and efficient to limit eligibility to the current grantees because they already have the necessary infrastructure in place to immediately begin implementing activities under this supplemental funding announcement. FY 2013 CABHI States grantees would be in their second year of funding at the time of the receipt of FY 2014 grant funds. At this point, grantees would have hired program staff, begun to enhance or develop their statewide plans for system wide short and long term support to the population of focus, begun the delivery of recovery oriented services and begun efforts to assist the state Medicaid eligibility agency in developing a streamlined application process to assist the population of focus. Supplemental FY 2014 funds would enhance these efforts with a specific focus on the provision of mental health services to veterans who experience homelessness or chronic homelessness and non veterans who experience chronic homelessness. In 2010, the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) approved Opening Doors, a Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness. One of the goals of this Strategic Plan is to achieve the goal of ending homelessness for veterans and chronic homelessness in general by 2015. SAMHSA is committed in the effort to achieve this and other goals in the Federal Strategic Plan. This program prioritizes veterans who experience homelessness or chronic homelessness and other individuals (non veterans) who experience chronic homelessness with serious mental illness, substance use disorders or co occurring substance use and mental disorders. On a single night in January 2013, there were an estimated 610,042 sheltered and unsheltered people who are homeless nationwide. Of those, approximately 109,132 were experiencing chronic homelessness and approximately 57,849 were identified as veterans experiencing homelessness. In an effort to efficiently and effectively impact the goals of the USICH Strategic Plan, it is vital to target states and communities. The statutory authority for this program prohibits grants to for profit agencies.

Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Agreements to Benefit Homeless Individuals - States Supplement (CABHI States Supplement) is a SAMHSA Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) supplemental grant opportunity designed to expand and strengthen work already underway through the FY 2013 CABHI States program (TI 13 004). The supplement is meant to build a more comprehensive state-level response to chronic homelessness by increasing the availability and quality of behavioral health services and supports for people experiencing chronic homelessness, with an added emphasis on homeless veterans. In practice, the supplement recognizes that some mental health components in the original FY 2013 awards were funded at relatively low levels, and it uses additional FY 2014 funds to correct that imbalance by specifically enhancing mental health service capacity and targeting service expansion for veterans.
At the core of the CABHI States model is the idea that states need stronger infrastructure and more integrated treatment systems to deliver accessible, effective, comprehensive, coordinated, and evidence-based services. The program focuses on people experiencing chronic homelessness who have substance use disorders, serious mental illness, or co-occurring mental and substance use disorders. The supplement continues that overall focus while sharpening attention on mental health service expansion, including services and supports that help people stabilize in the community. The program description explicitly highlights permanent supportive housing, peer supports, and CMHS-funded peer navigator(s) as key components, alongside other critical services necessary to help people who are chronically homeless engage in treatment, remain connected to care, and move toward recovery-oriented outcomes.
This is not an open competition. Eligibility is limited to the existing FY 2013 CABHI States grantees, meaning only those states already funded under the original CABHI States award can apply. SAMHSA frames this limitation as a cost-effective and operationally efficient approach because these grantees are already positioned to move quickly: by their second year they would typically have hired staff, started implementing statewide plans for short- and long-term system supports, begun providing recovery-oriented services, and initiated efforts to streamline Medicaid eligibility and enrollment processes for the target population. The supplemental funding is intended to accelerate and deepen these ongoing efforts rather than start brand-new projects in new jurisdictions.
A key condition of the supplement is that funds must be used for new activities that expand or enhance the existing CABHI States project; they cannot replace or supplant dollars already provided under the original FY 2013 grant. In other words, the supplement is additive. It is meant to broaden the scope and strengthen service delivery, particularly by increasing mental health service capacity and improving the overall comprehensiveness of the state approach in alignment with the CABHI States model. SAMHSA also emphasizes a priority for veterans experiencing homelessness or chronic homelessness, while still serving non-veterans experiencing chronic homelessness who have serious mental illness and/or substance use conditions.
The opportunity is positioned within the broader federal policy context of ending veteran and chronic homelessness. SAMHSA explicitly ties this supplement to the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) Opening Doors plan, a federal strategic plan to prevent and end homelessness, including the goal of ending homelessness among veterans and ending chronic homelessness. The notice cites national estimates from a single night in January 2013: approximately 610,042 people experiencing homelessness, about 109,132 experiencing chronic homelessness, and about 57,849 identified as veterans experiencing homelessness. These figures are used to justify the importance of targeting state and community systems where coordinated investments can produce measurable impact.
Administratively, the grant is a discretionary award using the grant funding instrument, categorized under health, and associated with CFDA 93.243 (SAMHSA Projects of Regional and National Significance). SAMHSA anticipated 11 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $5,492,870 and an award ceiling of $499,351. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding opportunity number is SM-14-012. The opportunity was posted March 7, 2014, with an application closing date of April 14, 2014, and an archive date of May 14, 2014. The statutory authority for the program prohibits awards to for-profit agencies, which further constrains who can receive funds even within the already-limited pool of eligible applicants.
