Information about Program Instruction Issued by ACYF on Use of TANF for Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services

 On December 28, 2009, the Administration for Children and Families issued a Program Instruction on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) targeted at trying to get States to spend the extra TANF funds that were part of the stimulus bill and need to be spent in FY 2010. They also issued an earlier Program Instruction on the use of these funds for domestic violence services.

The instruction can be found at:

http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/ofa/policy/pi-ofa/2009/200912/pi200912.htm.

This document answers questions about what is meant by short term benefits, who might be eligible, and what types of services could be covered.

A news release about the announcement can be found on the SAMHSA website at:

http://www.samhsa.gov/newsroom/advisories/1001213245.aspx

The following website shows how much each TANF money each State is eligible for, and the amount for which they have applied (as of 1/14/10). Every State has money left to apply for at this point.

Access to Recovery RFA

Dear Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that I write to you from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to share information about the Access to Recovery (ATR) program.  SAMHSA has recently posted a Request for Applications (RFA) to fund a new round of grants, each of which may be funded up to $4 million each. 

Please take some time to review the attached letter from our Center for Substance Abuse Treatment Director, Dr. H. Westley Clark (pdf), which includes critical information about the RFA and several upcoming technical assistance opportunities that are available to support you during the application process 

We look forward to working with you and hope you will take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to compete for funds that can help you serve individuals in need of substance abuse treatment and recovery support services. 

Sincerely,

Dr. Roula K. Sweis MA, PsyD
Access to Recovery Team Leader
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
Center for Substance Abuse Treatment 
ALERT: 2010 DFC Request for Applications to be released
