Opportunity Summary:
The Resiliency in Communities After Stress and Trauma (ReCAST) Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) through its Center for Mental Health Services. This FY 2016 funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SM-16-012; CFDA 93.243) is designed to help communities that have recently experienced civil unrest respond in ways that strengthen local resilience, improve behavioral health outcomes, and advance equity for youth and families who are at elevated risk.
At its core, ReCAST focuses on supporting high-risk youth and their families by putting proven, evidence-based strategies into action at the community level. The program emphasizes violence prevention and meaningful community youth engagement, pairing those approaches with strong connections to trauma-informed behavioral health services. In practice, this means communities are expected to implement interventions that can reduce exposure to violence and trauma, improve coping and recovery after stressful events, and ensure that young people and families can access appropriate mental health and related supports that recognize and respond to trauma rather than ignoring or exacerbating it.
A key theme of the opportunity is collaboration across local community entities. ReCAST is structured around the idea that sustainable recovery after civil unrest is not achieved by a single program or agency working alone. Instead, it encourages local partners to coordinate their efforts so that systems and residents move toward shared outcomes: improved behavioral health, residents who feel empowered and engaged in shaping solutions, measurable reductions in trauma-related impacts, and community change that lasts beyond the grant period. The emphasis on equity highlights the intent to address disproportionate harms and service gaps that often affect marginalized neighborhoods and populations during and after periods of unrest.
From a funding and competition standpoint, the opportunity is offered as a grant with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 per award. SAMHSA anticipated making 11 awards under this announcement. The opportunity was posted and created on April 8, 2016, with an application closing date of June 7, 2016. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement under the section titled "Additional Information on Eligibility," indicating that the program may be open to certain community-based entities beyond standard categories, depending on the specific requirements SAMHSA set in the full notice.
Overall, ReCAST is positioned as a community-centered response to the behavioral health consequences of civil unrest, aiming to reduce violence and trauma exposure, strengthen protective factors for youth and families, connect people to trauma-informed care, and build coordinated local capacity so improvements persist over time rather than ending when the funding period concludes.
