About this program

The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) funds supplemental grants for public health and social service emergencies under Assistance Listing 93.003, with the most recent award disbursed on September 1, 2022.

Program activity has slowed significantly in recent years. The portfolio encompasses 518 total awards spanning from 2001 to 2022, but award frequency has declined sharply—the program disbursed five awards annually in 2010 and 2011, dropped to one award in 2022, and has issued no awards in the four years since. Combined federal dollars obligated total $1.43 billion across the full portfolio, with no recent cost-sharing requirement from recipients.

The program funds emergency-response initiatives and crisis counseling following disasters and public health emergencies. Recent awards addressed web-based platforms for healthcare resilience to extreme weather events, general emergency response operations, and crisis counseling following natural disasters such as the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Representative awards range from approximately $50 thousand to $4 million, with the 2011 emergency-response portfolio including individual awards of $3.99 million, $974 thousand, and $990 thousand.

SAMHSA dominates funding activity, accounting for 517 of 518 awards and $1.43 billion in federal dollars obligated. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention contributed a single $270 thousand award. The assistance-type mix is predominantly Project Grants (97 percent of awards) with a smaller Block Grant component (3 percent).

No recent grant opportunities are present in the source. Given the four-year gap since the last award and absence of current solicitations, this program is not actively open for applications. Organizations monitoring this listing should track for future opportunity postings, as the program remains a potential avenue for emergency-response funding when activated by SAMHSA.
