Opportunity Summary:
The Recovery Community Services Program (RCSP) Supplements (Funding Opportunity Number TI 11 004) is a one-year SAMHSA discretionary grant opportunity designed to help existing RCSP grantees expand or strengthen the peer-to-peer recovery support work they are already funded to provide under the earlier RCSP announcement (TI 10 010). At its core, the supplement is meant to increase the capacity of established recovery community organizations and peer-led programs so they can deliver more, or more targeted, non-clinical recovery supports that reduce relapse risk and help people build stable, long-term recovery from alcohol and drug use disorders. The emphasis is on practical, real-world supports delivered by peers in recovery to individuals in recovery and their family members, with the broader aim of growing "communities of recovery" that make sustained recovery more achievable and more durable over time.
The supplement is framed around SAMHSA's Recovery Support Strategic Initiative, one of the agency's Strategic Initiatives, which focuses on improving "health, home, purpose, and community" for individuals with or in recovery from mental and substance use disorders. In plain terms, SAMHSA is looking for enhanced peer recovery services that lead to measurable quality-of-life improvements, such as better maintenance of abstinence, stronger employment outcomes, improved housing stability, increased social connectedness, and reduced involvement with the criminal justice system. The program is authorized under Section 509 of the Public Health Service Act (as amended) and aligns with Healthy People 2020 Substance Abuse Topic Area HP 2020-40. SAMHSA also strongly encourages grantees to maintain a smoke-free workplace and promote abstinence from tobacco products, with an exception for accepted tribal traditions and practices.
A key requirement is that applicants choose at least one additional focus area for expanded or enhanced peer-to-peer recovery support services. The eligible focus areas and populations include: trauma-informed care; educational and job training skills; members of the military and military families; people living with HIV/AIDS; individuals experiencing homelessness; adolescents; re-entry populations (people returning from incarceration or other justice involvement); and individuals with co-occurring conditions (such as substance use and mental health disorders together). Applicants can select one or multiple focus areas, but they must show that the supplemental services are responsive to local needs, fill gaps rather than duplicate existing resources, and complement the broader community service landscape.
SAMHSA expects proposals to be grounded in community needs assessment work. Applicants must describe what needs assessment activities have already been done, what those findings showed, and how the findings directly shaped the proposed supplemental services. The program description also stresses that strong peer recovery support models are not one-size-fits-all; they should include ongoing assessment of each participant's changing support needs and offer a menu of stage-appropriate supports, recognizing that needs differ for someone initiating recovery versus someone working to maintain longer-term recovery. Applicants are instructed to describe how supplemental services will be implemented in the Project Narrative (Section C), and grantees should be prepared to coordinate with SAMHSA's Bringing Recovery Supports to Scale Technical Assistance Center Strategy (BRSS TACS), which is intended to help standardize, strengthen, and scale effective recovery supports.
Eligibility is intentionally narrow: only current RCSP grantees can apply. SAMHSA justifies this limitation by noting that existing grantees already have the necessary infrastructure and partnerships in place to expand services quickly, reducing delays and preventing disruptions in peer support availability. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
From a funding standpoint, SAMHSA anticipated making about 13 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,950,000. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $150,000 for the one-year supplement. The opportunity was posted March 22, 2011, with an application deadline of April 21, 2011, and an archive date of May 21, 2011. The CFDA listing associated with the program is 93.243 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services - Projects of Regional and National Significance). The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is health.
