- The Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Adminis. in the health sector is offering a public funding opportunity titled "Grants to Expand Services to Children Affected by Methamphetamine in Families Participating in Family Treatment Drug Court" and is now available to receive applicants.
- 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 Mar 9, 2010 and posted on Mar 9, 2010.
- Applicants must submit their applications by Apr 29, 2010. (Agency may still review applications by suitable applicants for the remaining/unused allocated funding in 2026.)
- The funding agency has allocated a total of $4,440,000.00 to eligible and selected applicants.
- Each selected applicant is eligible to receive up to $370,000.00 in funding.
- The number of recipients for this funding is limited to 12 candidate(s).
- Eligible applicants include: Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification).
- SAMHSA/CSAT is restricting eligibility to existing Family Treatment Drug Courts that currently have a minimum of 20 methamphetamine using clients enrolled in the program or their Tribal/State or local governmental proxies who may apply on their behalf. Therefore, in addition to direct application by an individual Family Treatment Drug Court, units of Tribal/State/local government such as the Tribal Court Administrator, the Administrative Office of the Courts, the Single State Agency for Alcohol and Drug Abuse, the designated State Drug Court Coordinator, or local governmental unit such as county or city agency with direct involvement with the drug court may apply on behalf of an individual family treatment drug court. When the Tribal/State, County or local government is the applicant, all grant funds awarded must be dedicated to the individual drug court with the exception of a small set aside, not to exceed two percent of the total award, that is permissible to cover the cost of administration and oversight of the grant. Applications that propose services for parents, without proposing services for children, will not be reviewed and will not be considered for an award. Eligibility is restricted to these entities because only FTDCs with a minimum of 20 methamphetamine using clients can provide the necessary structure of accountability not only for parents, but also service providers working to support parents. A minimum of 20 methamphetamine using clients is required in order to have a sufficient number of participants in the program. Eligible Family Treatment Drug Courts must have demonstrated relationships and agreements with family serving agencies/organizations and professionals necessary to undertake the proposed activities. Although public and private nonprofit organizations have a pivotal supporting role in family treatment drug court programs and may be sub recipients/contractors to the applicant, they are not eligible to apply. In those cases where a Tribe/State/local unit of government (city/county) applies on behalf of a drug court, the Tribe/State/local governmental unit will be the award recipient and the entity responsible for satisfying the grant requirements. Although funding is intended for individual family treatment drug courts, SAMHSA recognizes the scarcity of resources in some rural communities. Therefore, it is allowable for contiguous rural counties in one State to apply as a multi county partnership to serve more than one family treatment drug court within the identified counties. However, in such situations, one county unit of government must assume the role of lead applicant, which will oversee and administer the grant for the multiple jurisdictions. If this is the case, the applicant needs to clearly state how all the family treatment drug court clients involved in the program will be able to access the services. Cont...

Opportunity Summary:
This SAMHSA/CSAT funding opportunity (FY 2010) supports projects that expand or strengthen services for children ages 0 to 17 who have been impacted by a parent or caregiver's methamphetamine use and whose families are involved with a Family Treatment Drug Court (FTDC). The program is built around a clear priority: children must be the central focus. Proposals that only offer services for parents, without specific services for children, are not eligible for review and will not be funded. Parents served through this grant must already be participating in an FTDC and receiving substance use treatment through that court program; the grant is meant to add child-focused and family-support services, not to pay for treatment that the drug court is already providing.
The rationale for the program is grounded in documented risks linked to parental methamphetamine use, especially for very young children. SAMHSA highlights that children in these situations face higher rates of harm and child maltreatment, with many maltreatment cases involving children under five. The announcement also points to patterns in treatment admissions showing a substantial share of methamphetamine treatment clients are women, which can increase the likelihood that children are directly affected because mothers are often primary caregivers. It notes research indicating women who use methamphetamine may use it more frequently and are more likely to be single parents, and may face more severe medical, psychiatric, and employment challenges. Taken together, these factors can increase instability in the home, raise the risk of chronic neglect, and create unsafe environments. The opportunity also underscores harms from prenatal exposure, including risks like premature birth, low birth weight, developmental concerns, feeding difficulties, and potential longer-term cognitive and social effects. Beyond immediate safety and health concerns, SAMHSA emphasizes the intergenerational risk: children exposed to maltreatment and parental substance use have higher odds of developing substance use problems later in life.
Programmatically, this grant aligns with broader child welfare and substance use system goals that gained urgency following the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) and the push for timely permanency for children in foster care and related systems. SAMHSA references long-standing national goals such as strengthening cross-system collaboration (courts, child welfare, and treatment providers), improving engagement and retention in treatment, ensuring timely access to services, addressing information gaps, and, most importantly for this initiative, enhancing services specifically for children. As part of SAMHSA's Children Affected by Methamphetamine (CAM) services grant portfolio, the expectation is that awards translate quickly into on-the-ground support; funded sites are expected to begin delivering services as soon as possible, and no later than the fourth month of the project.
Eligibility is narrowly limited to ensure the applicant has the infrastructure and accountability mechanisms of an established FTDC. Applicants must be existing Family Treatment Drug Courts with at least 20 methamphetamine-using clients currently enrolled, or certain Tribal, state, or local government entities applying on behalf of an individual FTDC (for example, a Tribal Court Administrator, an Administrative Office of the Courts, a Single State Agency for alcohol and drug abuse, a designated state drug court coordinator, or a county/city agency directly involved with the court). When a government entity applies on a court's behalf, the award is still intended to support that specific drug court, with only a small administrative set-aside allowed (capped at 2 percent of the total award) for oversight. While nonprofits and community organizations can participate as partners or subrecipients, they cannot apply as the primary applicant. The program also allows some flexibility for rural areas: contiguous rural counties may apply as a multi-county partnership to serve more than one FTDC, as long as one county serves as the lead applicant and the proposal clearly explains how families across jurisdictions will access services.
Funding is offered as a discretionary grant in the health category under CFDA 93.243 (SAMHSA Projects of Regional and National Significance). SAMHSA anticipated making about 12 awards, with an estimated total funding pool of $4,440,000 and an award ceiling of $370,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted March 9, 2010, with an application deadline of April 29, 2010, and an archive date of May 29, 2010. The funding opportunity number is TI-10-009, and it is authorized under Section 509 of the Public Health Service Act, supporting Healthy People 2010 Focus Area 26 (Substance Abuse). For technical or application access issues, the notice lists Helen Zhou at SAMHSA's Division of Grants Management as the contact point.
