Opportunity Information: Apply for TI 17 004
The FY 2017 Grants to Expand Substance Abuse Treatment Capacity in Family Treatment Drug Courts (Family Treatment Drug Courts, or FTDCs) is a SAMHSA program administered through the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number TI-17-004; CFDA 93.243) created to strengthen how existing family treatment drug courts respond to parents involved with (or at imminent risk of involvement with) the child welfare dependency system due to substance use disorders. In practice, this funding is aimed at helping jurisdictions increase the availability, intensity, and coordination of treatment and related supports delivered through an established FTDC model, rather than starting a brand-new court from scratch.
At its core, the grant is designed to expand and/or enhance substance use disorder (SUD) treatment services connected to family treatment drug courts for parents who have a SUD and may also have co-occurring mental health disorders. The target population includes parents who already have a dependency petition filed against them, as well as parents who are at risk of such a filing. SAMHSA emphasizes that services funded under this program should not be limited to clinical treatment alone. Applicants are expected to build out a fuller continuum of supports that typically includes screening and assessment, case management, recovery support services, and the program coordination needed to keep treatment, the court process, and child welfare requirements aligned.
A defining requirement of the opportunity is its family-centered scope. Projects must address the needs of the family as a whole, not only the parent in treatment. That includes mandatory direct service provision to children age 18 and under who are connected to the adults served by the project. The intent is to ensure that children affected by parental substance use and court involvement are not treated as an afterthought, and that the intervention supports family stability, safety, and well-being alongside adult recovery.
SAMHSA also makes clear that grantees are expected to operate through a coordinated, multi-system approach. Family treatment drug courts sit at the intersection of several systems that often operate in parallel: the judicial system (including the court and related supervision), substance use treatment providers, child welfare agencies, and frequently mental health, housing, and other community supports. The FTDC model is meant to combine the court’s authority and accountability mechanisms (often described as the “sanctioning power” of drug courts) with evidence-informed treatment services. The desired outcome is improved engagement in treatment, better recovery and behavioral health outcomes, and ultimately successful family preservation when safe and appropriate, or reunification when children have been removed.
Priority is placed on efforts that close gaps in the local treatment continuum for people who are court-involved and need care for SUD and/or co-occurring mental disorders, while also meeting the needs of their children. In other words, the program is not just looking for general statements about collaboration; it is seeking concrete capacity expansions and service enhancements that solve real bottlenecks (for example, insufficient access to treatment slots, limited ability to serve parents with co-occurring conditions, weak handoffs between court and providers, lack of recovery supports, or missing child-focused services that allow families to stabilize).
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipated approximately 15 awards, with an award ceiling of $425,000. The notice was posted December 30, 2016, with an original application closing date of March 3, 2017. Eligibility is listed broadly as “Others,” with the expectation that applicants consult the additional eligibility language in the full announcement for precise requirements; however, the program’s structure strongly implies applicants must be able to operate within an existing family treatment drug court framework and coordinate across court, treatment, and child welfare partners.
In summary, this grant opportunity funds existing family treatment drug courts to increase and improve treatment capacity for parents with substance use disorders (often with co-occurring mental health needs) who are entangled in dependency proceedings, while requiring a true family-centered model that provides direct services for children and a coordinated, cross-system strategy aimed at preserving families and supporting reunification whenever safe and appropriate.Apply for TI 17 004
