Opportunity Summary:
The Services Grant Program for Residential Treatment for Pregnant and Postpartum Women (PPW) is a SAMHSA Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) services grant designed to expand and strengthen comprehensive residential substance use disorder treatment for pregnant and postpartum women and their minor children. The core goal is to increase access to high-quality, coordinated treatment, prevention, and recovery support services in a residential setting, while also allowing programs to serve non-residential family members connected to the mother and child when that support is appropriate. The program is built around the expectation that grantees move quickly from award to real service delivery, with treatment services starting as soon as possible and no later than the fourth month of the project.
The primary population served is low-income women (as defined by federal poverty guidelines) who are age 18 or older and either pregnant or postpartum, with postpartum defined as the period up to 12 months after childbirth. The program also targets their minor children (age 17 and under), particularly when these families have limited access to quality health services. SAMHSA highlights traditionally underserved groups as a major focus, especially racial and ethnic minority women, and it flags a specific concern about high maternal and infant morbidity and mortality among African Americans. Alongside direct services for mothers and children living in the residential program, applicants are encouraged to extend selected supports to fathers, partners, and other family members who do not live in the facility, recognizing that family involvement can be critical to sustained recovery and child wellbeing.
Program design is expected to rely on evidence-based treatment and parenting approaches and to incorporate trauma-specific services within a broader trauma-informed framework. This emphasis aligns with SAMHSA's Strategic Initiative on Trauma and Justice, which aims to reduce the widespread health consequences of violence and trauma by embedding trauma-informed practices across behavioral health and related systems. Applicants are also expected to take active steps to address behavioral health disparities by implementing strategies that reduce gaps in access, utilization, and outcomes for racial and ethnic minority populations served (the announcement references additional guidance in Appendix J on addressing disparities).
The outcomes SAMHSA intends PPW projects to pursue are wide-ranging and family-centered. On the substance use side, programs should reduce the use and misuse of prescription drugs, alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs, and other harmful substances among pregnant and postpartum women. On the maternal and child health side, projects should promote safer and healthier pregnancies, improve birth outcomes, and reduce perinatal and environmental harms linked to maternal and/or paternal substance use. Beyond pregnancy and delivery, the program seeks improvements in mental and physical health for women and children, prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders among children, stronger parenting skills and family functioning, and better economic stability and overall quality of life. SAMHSA also frames PPW as a public safety and child welfare support strategy, aiming to reduce involvement in and exposure to crime, violence, and neglect, and to decrease physical, emotional, and sexual abuse across the family system.
This FY 2014 opportunity was posted January 28, 2014, with an application deadline of March 31, 2014 (archived April 30, 2014). It is a discretionary grant program in the health funding category, listed under CFDA 93.243 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services - Projects of Regional and National Significance). SAMHSA anticipated making about 16 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $8,384,000 and an award ceiling of $524,000. Cost sharing or matching was required under this announcement. The program is authorized under Section 508 of the Public Health Service Act (as amended) and is tied to the Healthy People 2020 Substance Abuse topic area.
Eligibility is limited to domestic public and private nonprofit entities, and the statute specifically prohibits awards to for-profit agencies. Eligible applicants include, for example, state and local governments, federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribes and tribal organizations, urban Indian organizations, public or private universities and colleges, and community- and faith-based organizations. Consortia of tribes or tribal organizations may apply as long as each participating entity documents its approval. The announcement also notes an important restriction: organizations that were current PPW grantees funded under TI 11-009 (awards made in FY 2011 and FY 2012) were not eligible to apply for this FY 2014 funding opportunity.
