FY 2017 Application for SAMHSA Substance Abuse Block Grant Program
DBHDD would like to offer interested persons the opportunity to review its DRAFT Federal Fiscal Year 2017 application for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Substance Abuse Block Grant Program (SABG). SABG funds are provided by the federal government to all states that submit an application successfully meeting the requirements as specified by SAMHSA. It is a non-competitive application process that occurs on a bi-annual basis with updates referred to as “mini-application”. The entire 2016-2017 SABG application is now a web-based process and as such can be viewed at https://bgas.samhsa.gov. To review the current 2017 mini-application, please take the following steps:

All are welcome to review the entire application or parts of the application as desired and provide comments to DBHDD. Public comments can be made at any time including development of biannual plans, mini applications and after submission of the plan and/or mini application to SAMHSA. Comments will be forwarded to SAMHSA per SAMHSA guidelines as an addendum to the application. Public comments can be emailed to Laqunda McDonald at [email protected].
