Opportunity Summary:
The Statewide Family Network Program is a SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) grant opportunity designed to strengthen and expand statewide, family-run organizations that support children and adolescents with mental health challenges and their families. It builds on earlier work by SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services to embed a child- and family-centered approach into mental health programs nationwide. While most states now have some form of active family organization, SAMHSA is using this program to provide added support so these networks become more self-sufficient, better organized, and more influential in state and local decision-making, especially as mental health systems evolve and health care reforms continue to shape how services are planned, financed, and delivered.
A major purpose of the program is to ensure that families are not treated as passive recipients of services, but as active partners who help shape community-based systems of care. The funding is intended to increase the capacity of family networks to participate in mental health service planning, collaborate with state and local partners, and engage in health care reform activities that affect access to and quality of services for children and youth with serious emotional disturbances. The program reflects SAMHSA's broader position that behavioral health is a core part of overall health, prevention efforts can reduce long-term harm, treatment can work, and recovery is possible. By improving prevention, treatment, and recovery supports, SAMHSA argues the nation can improve health outcomes while also reducing broader social and health care costs.
This grant aligns closely with SAMHSA's Recovery Support Strategic Initiative, one of the agency's eight strategic initiatives aimed at improving lives and modernizing behavioral health care. It also connects to SAMHSA's Bringing Recovery Supports to Scale Technical Assistance Center Strategy (BRSS TACS), which promotes recovery-oriented concepts and practices across the country. Through BRSS TACS, the program supports the spread of practical information to consumers, families, and youth, including guidance on changes driven by the Affordable Care Act and how those reforms affect behavioral health coverage, service systems, and opportunities for family and youth involvement.
From an eligibility standpoint, this opportunity is narrowly targeted. Applicants must be family-controlled domestic public or private nonprofit organizations located in a state, territory, or Tribe. "Family-controlled" has a specific governance requirement: the organization must have a board of directors with more than 50 percent family members who have the primary daily responsibility for raising a child or youth with serious emotional disturbance. The definition covers youth up to age 18, or up to 21 if served through an Individual Educational Plan (IEP), and up to age 26 if the young adult is served through an Individual Service plan during transition to the adult mental health system. SAMHSA requires applicants to complete a Certification of Eligibility and provide supporting documentation. SAMHSA also limits awards to jurisdictions that do not already have a currently funded Statewide Family Network grant, and it plans to make only one award per state, territory, and Tribe under this announcement.
Key funding details include that this is a discretionary grant program (Funding Opportunity Number SM-15-001) in the health activity category, with an expected five awards and an estimated total funding amount of $475,000. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $95,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA listing associated with the program is 93.243 (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance). The opportunity was originally posted December 2, 2014, created December 29, 2014, and had a closing date of February 2, 2015, with an archive date of March 4, 2015. The program is authorized under Section 520A of the Public Health Service Act (as amended) and is tied to Healthy People 2020 priorities in the Mental Health and Mental Disorders topic area.
Overall, the grant is meant to strengthen family-led leadership and infrastructure so family organizations can more effectively advocate for family-driven and youth-guided mental health care, support recovery-oriented systems, and contribute to policy and planning decisions that determine what services children and adolescents receive in their communities.
