GRANTQUICK SUMMARYPlain-English Overview

SAMHSA is funding 5 organizations ($300K max each, $1.5M total) to expand recovery community services — peer recovery support, recovery coaching, recovery housing navigation, employment support, and community connection for people in addiction recovery. These are community-based recovery organizations (not clinical treatment providers) that help people AFTER they leave treatment build sustained recovery.

Who Should Apply

Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs), peer recovery nonprofits, faith-based recovery organizations, and other domestic public/private nonprofits providing recovery support services. Must be grounded in peer support and lived experience.

Who Should NOT Apply

Clinical treatment providers (this is recovery support, not treatment), hospitals, for-profit sober living operators, or organizations without a peer recovery model.

Key Requirements (Plain English)

•Must expand access to recovery support services (RSS) and peer recovery support services (PRSS)
•Must serve people with substance use disorders and/or co-occurring disorders
•Must be a domestic public or private nonprofit (faith-based OK)
•Must include peer recovery support specialists with lived experience
•Must strengthen recovery community capacity

💡 GrantQuick Tip

Only 5 awards — but recovery community organizations are a growing but still small field. If you're an RCO with a track record of peer support, recovery coaching, and community building, you're competing against maybe 30-50 similar organizations nationally. The differentiator: demonstrate OUTCOMES (employment rates, housing stability, sustained recovery milestones) not just activities (meetings held, peers trained).

Competitiveness: Moderate — 5 awards for a specific niche (community recovery organizations). Established RCOs with documented outcomes are well-positioned.

What This Grant Funds

The purpose of this program is to strengthen recovery communities by expanding access to recovery support services (RSS), including peer recovery support services (PRSS), for individuals living with substance use disorders (SUD) and co-occurring substance use and mental disorders (COD), including those in recovery.

Who Can Apply

Domestic public and private non-profit entities, including faith-based organizations.
