Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2014 Grants for the Benefit of Homeless Individuals Services in Supportive Housing (GBHI SSH) is a SAMHSA program run through the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) that funds local communities to build or expand integrated systems of care for people facing homelessness alongside substance use and/or co-occurring mental health disorders. The core idea is straightforward: pair permanent housing with recovery-oriented behavioral health treatment and supportive services so that people are not forced to choose between getting stable housing and getting care. SAMHSA is explicitly trying to increase the number of enrolled participants who move into permanent housing and sustain recovery with comprehensive, coordinated treatment and support.
The program focuses primarily on veterans experiencing homelessness or chronic homelessness who have substance use disorders or co-occurring substance use and mental disorders. It also includes non-veteran individuals and families experiencing chronic homelessness with similar behavioral health needs. This priority aligns with the federal plan "Opening Doors" (approved by the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness in 2010), which set national goals aimed at ending veteran homelessness and chronic homelessness. The funding opportunity frames supportive housing as a key lever for improving recovery outcomes, noting that people without stable housing often face higher rates of mental health challenges, substance use problems, physical health issues, legal involvement, and unemployment, and that stable housing can be linked to reduced hospital use and better treatment outcomes for some populations.
Grantees are expected to use funds across three main activity areas. First, they must deliver behavioral health treatment and recovery-oriented services, meaning services are not limited to clinical treatment alone but should support long-term recovery and resilience. Second, they must coordinate housing and services in a way that strengthens the community infrastructure and improves the long-term sustainability of integrated supportive housing systems, emphasizing permanent housing paired with services rather than temporary or disconnected interventions. Third, they must actively help participants connect to health coverage and benefits by engaging clients and linking them to enrollment resources for health insurance and Medicaid, and to other key benefit programs such as SSI/SSDI, TANF, and SNAP, which are often essential for stabilizing income, accessing ongoing care, and maintaining housing.
SAMHSA also highlights the role of recovery housing and drug-free housing options as part of a broader continuum, describing models that range from peer-run, self-supported recovery homes to community-based housing with layered supportive services. The program is tied to SAMHSA's Strategic Initiative on Recovery Support, which emphasizes system-level and individual-level approaches that promote health and resilience, increase access to housing, employment, education, and other supports, and reduce barriers to full community inclusion. A specific program expectation is attention to behavioral health disparities: applicants are encouraged to implement strategies that reduce gaps in access, service use, and outcomes for racial and ethnic minority populations within the communities served.
Because GBHI SSH is categorized as a services grant, SAMHSA signals an expectation of rapid implementation. Funded projects should begin delivering services as soon as possible after award, and no later than the fourth month of the project period. Legally, the program is authorized under Section 506 of the Public Health Service Act (as amended) and is aligned with Healthy People 2020 topic areas for Mental Health and Mental Disorders and Substance Abuse, reinforcing that the program is meant to advance national public health and behavioral health goals.
On the funding and administrative side, this is a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number TI-14-007; CFDA 93.243). SAMHSA anticipated making about 25 awards with an estimated total funding pool of $9,981,470, and an award ceiling of $400,000 per grant (no stated award floor). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted February 18, 2014, with an application deadline of April 25, 2014, and an archive date of May 25, 2014.
Eligibility is limited to domestic public and private nonprofit entities, including local governments, federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribes and tribal organizations, Urban Indian organizations, public or private colleges and universities, and community- and faith-based organizations. Consortia of tribes or tribal organizations may apply as long as each participating entity documents its approval. States and for-profit agencies are prohibited from receiving these grants under the program's statutory authority. In addition, FY 2012 CABHI grantees and FY 2010 GBHI SSH grantees were specifically listed as not eligible to apply under this competition.
Overall, GBHI SSH is designed to help communities build durable, coordinated supportive housing systems where permanent housing is tightly linked with evidence-informed substance use treatment, co-occurring disorder services, and practical recovery supports, while also ensuring participants are connected to insurance and benefits that make long-term stability more realistic. The program treats housing stability and behavioral health recovery as mutually reinforcing goals, with a strong emphasis on rapid service startup, cross-system coordination, and equity in access and outcomes.
