Opportunity Information: Apply for TI 12 007

The Targeted Capacity Expansion Program Substance Abuse Treatment for Racial/Ethnic Minority Populations at High Risk for HIV/AIDS is a grant opportunity offered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). It aims to enhance and expand community-based substance abuse treatment services that are culturally competent for racial and ethnic minorities at high risk for HIV/AIDS, particularly in states with high HIV prevalence rates (over 270 cases per 100,000).

The program's goals include reducing behavioral health problems, decreasing HIV risk and incidence, and improving access to treatment for individuals facing substance use disorders along with mental health issues. The initiative is part of the Congressional Minority AIDS Initiative, which seeks to address health disparities affecting minorities disproportionately impacted by HIV/AIDS.

Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit organizations and federally recognized tribes located in certain states and territories with high HIV rates. These applicants must demonstrate the need for treatment in their communities, focusing on racial and ethnic minorities significantly affected by HIV/AIDS.

Grantees are expected to provide treatment and recovery support services, conduct HIV testing, and manage cases, while also enhancing community infrastructure to better respond to HIV/AIDS. Expected outcomes involve reduced HIV transmission, increased treatment accessibility, and more individuals being screened and referred for hepatitis care, thereby supporting the overall health of vulnerable populations. Service delivery should commence no later than four months after the grant award.

This program aligns with SAMHSA’s strategic initiatives, promoting substance abuse prevention and recovery support, and contributes to achieving the objectives outlined in the National HIV/AIDS Strategy.

Examples of CBOs include CBOs serving racial and ethnic minorities CBOs serving lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and questioning persons (LGBTQ) Faith based CBOs Tribal organization means the recognized body of any AI/AN Tribe any legally established organization of American Indians/Alaska Natives which is controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by such governing body or which is democratically elected by the adult members of the Indian community to be served by such organization and which includes the maximum participation of American Indians/Alaska Natives in all phases of its activities. Consortia of Tribes or tribal organizations are eligible to apply, but each participating entity must indicate its approval. The National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) clearly articulates the need for resources to be strategically concentrated in areas with high rates of HIV infection, and the need for targeting specific population subgroups at higher risk, such as men who have sex with men.

Federally recognized Tribes that are not located in one of these 22 States and Territories, but are also highly impacted by HIV/AIDS are also eligible to apply. SAMHSA believes that in order to achieve the goals of this program to enhance infrastructure and capacity to improve the community s response to HIV/AIDS by increasing access to care and services for racial and ethnic minorities at high risk for or living with HIV/AIDS, grant funds must go directly to community based organizations, Tribes and tribal organizations. Therefore, State and local governments are not eligible to apply. The statutory authority for this program prohibits grants to for profit agencies.
