GRANTQUICK SUMMARYPlain-English Overview

SAMHSA is funding 21 grants (up to $500K each, $10.5M total) for Treatment, Recovery, and Workforce Support programs. This targets organizations that provide substance use disorder treatment AND help people in recovery enter or re-enter the workforce. The combination is key — it's not just treatment OR workforce development, it's integrating both. Programs should help people get sober and get employed simultaneously.

Who Should Apply

Substance use treatment providers, recovery community organizations, workforce development boards, or partnerships between treatment and employment services. Must serve people with substance use disorders who need both recovery support and job training/placement.

Who Should NOT Apply

Treatment-only providers without workforce components, workforce programs without SUD expertise, prevention-only organizations, or programs not serving people actively in recovery.

Key Requirements (Plain English)

•Must integrate substance use treatment with workforce development
•Must serve individuals with substance use disorders
•Must provide recovery support services alongside employment services
•Awards up to $500K each, 21 awards
•Must demonstrate both treatment and workforce capacity
•No cost-sharing required

💡 GrantQuick Tip

21 awards makes this accessible. The winning formula: partner a treatment provider with a workforce development organization (or be one organization that does both). Show specific employment outcomes — not just 'we'll help them find jobs' but 'we'll place 50 participants in jobs paying $15+/hr within 6 months of treatment completion.' Include employer partnerships who'll actually hire people in recovery. SAMHSA loves seeing recovery housing + treatment + job training as an integrated continuum.

Competitiveness: Low-moderate — 21 awards with broad eligibility. Organizations that genuinely integrate treatment and employment (not just tack on a workforce component) are best positioned.

What This Grant Funds

The purpose of the Treatment, Recovery and Workforce Support program is to support individuals in substance use disorder (SUD) or co-occurring disorder (COD) treatment and recovery to live independently and participate in the workforce.

Who Can Apply

Domestic public and private non-profit entities that provide treatment and recovery services for individuals with substance use disorders and partner with one or more local or state stakeholders.
