Opportunity Information: Apply for TI 19 001
The FY 2019 "Grants to Expand Substance Abuse Treatment Capacity in Family Treatment Drug Courts" opportunity (FTDC; Funding Opportunity Number TI 19 001) is a discretionary grant program run by the Department of Health and Human Services through SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Treatment. Its central aim is to strengthen and expand substance use disorder treatment capacity within existing family treatment drug courts, using the family treatment drug court model to more effectively serve parents involved in child welfare proceedings due to substance use and, in many cases, co-occurring mental health disorders. The program is built around the idea that families do better when courts, treatment providers, and child welfare systems work in a coordinated way, combining structured judicial oversight with evidence-based treatment and practical recovery supports.
The grant focuses specifically on parents who have had a dependency petition filed against them, or who are at immediate risk of such a filing, because of substance misuse or related behavioral health needs. Funded courts are expected to provide a continuum of alcohol and drug treatment services paired with recovery-oriented supports. The notice highlights core service components such as screening and assessment, case management, recovery support services, and program coordination, reflecting an expectation that projects will not only deliver clinical care but also help participants navigate systems, stay engaged in treatment, and stabilize the conditions that often drive relapse and family disruption.
A defining requirement of this opportunity is that services must address the needs of the family as a whole, not just the parent. Projects must include direct services for children age 18 and under who are connected to the adults served by the grant. This family-centered design recognizes that reunification and long-term stability depend on meeting children's needs alongside parental treatment, including the impacts of parental substance use on child safety, well-being, and development.
SAMHSA expects recipients to implement a coordinated, multi-system approach. In practice, that means aligning the work of the family treatment drug court with treatment providers, child welfare agencies, and other community partners so that participants experience a consistent set of expectations, supports, and accountability. The grant emphasizes leveraging the "sanctioning power" of treatment drug courts, meaning the court's ability to monitor progress and enforce compliance, while pairing that structure with effective, accessible treatment and recovery services. The overall model is intended to promote family preservation when safe and appropriate, and to speed reunification when children have been placed out of the home.
Priority is placed on proposals that address gaps in the treatment continuum for court-involved individuals who need substance use and co-occurring disorder treatment while also meeting the needs of their children. In other words, applicants are encouraged to identify where families currently fall through the cracks, such as limited access to appropriate levels of care, insufficient coordination across agencies, lack of recovery supports, or inadequate services for children, and then use grant funds to close those gaps in ways that improve outcomes for both parents and children.
The intended outcomes are clearly family- and system-oriented: reducing substance misuse rates, decreasing the severity of substance use disorders and co-occurring mental disorders, and lowering the number of children placed out of the home by improving family preservation and reunification outcomes. Over time, SAMHSA also anticipates that stronger FTDC programming will reduce the number of parents or guardians who have their parental rights terminated or are at risk of termination, reflecting the program's broader goal of keeping families together safely whenever possible.
From the posted opportunity details, applications were due January 4, 2019, after the notice was created on November 5, 2018. Awards had a ceiling of $425,000, with an expectation of 25 awards.
