The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2008 Targeted Capacity Expansion grants. This program is designed to address gaps in treatment capacity by supporting rapid and strategic responses to demands for substance abuse (including alcohol and drug) treatment services in communities with serious, emerging drug problems as well as communities with innovative solutions to unmet needs. The purpose of this program is to expand and or/enhance the community’s ability to provide a comprehensive, integrated, and community-based response to a targeted, well-documented substance abuse treatment capacity problem and/or improve the quality and intensity of services.
The Targeted Capacity Expansion (TCE) grant program is one of SAMHSA’s services grant programs. SAMHSA’s services grants are designed to address gaps in substance abuse services and/or to increase the ability of States, localities, Tribes, urban Indian centers and/or tribal organizations to help specific populations or geographic areas with serious, emerging substance abuse problems. For example, a community might seek a Targeted Capacity Expansion grant to add state-of-the-art treatment approaches or new services to address emerging trends or unmet needs (e.g., intensive case management and referral to services to address related HIV, tuberculosis, hepatitis B and C, and other primary health care needs of substance abusing clients) and other co-occurring issues such as gambling. An applicant may also propose to sustain recovery efforts by offering a comprehensive menu of services that include recovery support services.
SAMHSA/CSAT intends to fund projects for treatment services in two categories in FY 2008:
Category 1- American Indian/Alaska Native and Asian American/Pacific Islander Populations
To meet the disproportionate substance abuse treatment needs of smaller native communities,
this category specifically identifies American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) and Asian
American/Pacific Islanders (AA/PI), including Native Hawaiians, as native populations to
receive expanded and/or enhanced treatment services under this program. According to the
2006 National Household Survey on Drug Use and Health, among persons aged 12 or older,
the highest rate of current illicit drug use was among American Indians or Alaska
Natives (13.7 percent). Furthermore, among youths aged 12 to 17 in 2006, the rate of current
illicit drug use among American Indians or Alaska Natives was about twice the overall rate
among youths (18.7 percent vs. 9.8 percent, respectively). Through the TCE program,
SAMHSA seeks to strengthen outreach to tribal organizations and increase participation in
the TCE program.
Category 2- Local Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care
To develop responses at the local level that will enhance substance use disorders services and
promote recovery, this category focuses on providing support for local organizations (e.g.,
grassroots, faith-based, community-based and recovery community organizations) that can link services critical to the target population and that demonstrate the principles of Recovery-
Oriented Systems of Care (ROSCs). For more information on Recovery-Oriented Systems of
Care, see Appendix I of the RFA.
SAMHSA intends that its services grants result in the delivery of services as soon as possible after award. Service delivery should begin by the 4th month of the project at the latest. Applicants for the AI/AN/AA/PI category may negotiate the service delivery start date with their TCE project officer.
TCE grants are authorized under Section 509 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2010 focus area 26 (Substance Abuse).
Eligibility for Category 1 (AI/AN/AA/PI) is restricted to federally recognized Tribes, State recognized Tribes, urban Indian organizations, tribal organizations, and Asian American/Pacific Islander organizations, including Native Hawaiian organizations, in recognition of their responsibility for, and interest in, providing for the needs of their citizens, and because the success of the program will depend upon their authority and ability to broadly coordinate a variety of resources. (See Appendix L- Glossary).
Eligible applicants for Category 2 (Local ROSC) are domestic public and private nonprofit entities. 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, faith-based and recovery community organizations may apply.
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 tribal organizations are eligible to apply, but each participating entity must indicate its approval. The statutory authority for this program prohibits grants to for-profit agencies.
Funding is not designed to meet Statewide treatment needs, but to meet the needs of individual communities in cities, towns, counties, and multi-county partnerships. Therefore, States that apply must identify a specific city, town, county or multi-county partnership that will be the targeted geographic area of need.
| Funding Mechanism: | Grant |
| Anticipated Total Available Funding: | Up to $7.0 million |
| Anticipated Number of Awards: | Category 1 (AI/AN/AA/PI) -
Up to 14 Category 2 (Local ROSC) - Up to 8 |

Up to $250,000 Category 2 (Local ROSC) - Up to $400,000 |
| Length of Project Period: | Up to 3 years |
Proposed budgets cannot exceed the amount specified above in the Anticipated Award Amount for each category in total costs (direct and indirect) in any year of the proposed project. Annual continuation awards will depend on the availability of funds, grantee progress in meeting project goals and objectives, timely submission of required data and reports, and compliance with all terms and conditions of award.
