Opportunity Information: Apply for SM 20 007
The FY 2020 "Grants for Expansion and Sustainability of the Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children with Serious Emotional Disturbances" opportunity (also referred to as the System of Care (SOC) Expansion and Sustainability Grants) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS). It is designed to strengthen and scale community-based mental health systems for children and young people from birth through age 21 who have serious emotional disturbance (SED), while also supporting the needs of their families. The central aim is improved mental health outcomes, with a focus on building services and local infrastructure that can last beyond the grant period.
This funding specifically promotes the "System of Care" approach, which is a coordinated, community-driven way of organizing services and supports so that children, youth, and families can access the right help across agencies and settings. Rather than relying on isolated programs, the SOC model emphasizes collaboration among mental health providers, schools, child welfare, juvenile justice, primary care, and other community partners. Under this grant, applicants are expected to implement, expand, and integrate SOC principles in ways that make the overall local system more effective and sustainable over time. The opportunity aligns with SAMHSA's long-running Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children and their Families Program, also known as the Children's Mental Health Initiative (CMHI), and supports communities in building the core components that CMHI expects.
Key funding details include an award ceiling of up to $3,000,000 per award, with SAMHSA anticipating approximately 24 awards. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is health (CFDA 93.104). The opportunity was created on December 3, 2019, with an original application closing date of February 3, 2020. Eligibility is listed as "Others" with additional eligibility specifics referenced in the full announcement text, meaning interested organizations would need to review the official eligibility section to confirm whether their entity type and partnership structure meet SAMHSA's requirements.
In practical terms, the grant is geared toward helping communities not only add or improve services for youth with SED, but also create the durable "backbone" needed to keep those services working long-term. That typically includes strengthening cross-system partnerships, developing coordinated service pathways, improving governance and accountability structures, supporting family and youth involvement in planning and evaluation, and integrating services so families experience care as connected rather than fragmented. The emphasis on sustainability signals that SAMHSA is looking for applicants to build capacity that can be maintained through policy, financing strategies, workforce development, and institutionalized coordination mechanisms, rather than short-term program activities that disappear when funding ends.
Overall, this opportunity supports communities that are ready to broaden access to effective, community-based supports for children and youth with serious emotional and behavioral needs, while embedding a comprehensive, collaborative SOC framework that improves outcomes and holds up over time.Apply for SM 20 007
