Opportunity Summary:
The PPHF 2014 Access to Recovery (ATR) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number TI 14 004) is a SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) discretionary grant program designed to expand and improve substance use disorder treatment and recovery support through a voucher-based model. Instead of limiting services to a small set of contracted providers, ATR funds Single State Agencies (SSAs) and eligible tribal entities to build and manage a network of approved providers and then allow clients to use vouchers to obtain clinical treatment and a wide range of recovery support services. A central idea is that people seeking help should have genuine, free, and independent choice among eligible providers, including faith-based providers, so long as services meet program requirements and client choice is protected.
The program’s purpose goes beyond simply paying for treatment episodes. It is meant to increase abstinence and strengthen long-term recovery by expanding access to a comprehensive menu of services and supports that help people build stable, self-directed lives. This includes not only clinical treatment, but also recovery support services that address real-world barriers like housing instability, unemployment, lack of education or job skills, and social exclusion. SAMHSA frames this within its broader Recovery Support Strategic Initiative, emphasizing approaches at the individual, program, and system level that promote health, resilience, and community reintegration.
ATR also places heavy emphasis on accountability and performance. Grantees are expected to monitor outcomes, track costs, and implement controls that prevent waste, fraud, and abuse. The voucher structure is part of that accountability strategy, because it supports clearer documentation of what services are delivered, by whom, at what cost, and with what results. States, territories, tribes, and tribal organizations are encouraged to build provider networks that are broad enough to offer meaningful options, but also organized in a way that produces cost-effective outcomes for the greatest number of people.
The target population is individuals with substance use disorders, with explicit attention to groups that often face higher barriers to care or greater risks during transitions. These include active duty military and National Guard members, veterans (especially those connected to Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom), people returning to the community from the criminal justice system, individuals involved with drug courts, clients leaving residential treatment, pregnant and postpartum women, parents, people involved in the child welfare system, and individuals experiencing homelessness. The program also explicitly seeks to reduce behavioral health disparities among racial and ethnic minority populations by encouraging strategies that improve equity in access, service utilization, and outcomes.
This is a services-focused grant, and SAMHSA’s expectation is that funded projects move quickly from planning to service delivery. New ATR grantees are expected to begin delivering services by the fourth month of the project period at the latest, while previously funded ATR grantees are expected to start even sooner, by the third month. SAMHSA indicated it intended to fund a mix of applicants, including some jurisdictions that had been funded under ATR in the past and some that had never received ATR funding, to promote both continuity and broader adoption of the model.
Funding for this FY 2014 opportunity comes from the 2014 Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF 2014), and the program is authorized under Sections 501(d)(5) and 509 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. The opportunity aligns with Healthy People 2020 objectives in the Substance Abuse topic area. The estimated total funding available was $45,000,000, with an anticipated 5 awards and an award ceiling of $3,000,000; there was no stated award floor. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is limited to state governments acting through the Single State Agency for substance abuse services (including states, territories, and the District of Columbia) and to federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribes and tribal organizations, including consortia where each participating entity documents approval. A key restriction is that no more than one ATR application from any one state or territory, or from the head of a tribe or tribal organization, would be funded, and the governing statute prohibits awards to for-profit agencies. The application timeline for this announcement showed it was posted February 12, 2014, with a closing date of March 31, 2014, and an archive date of April 30, 2014. For administrative questions, SAMHSA listed a grants management contact in its Office of Financial Resources.
