Opportunity Information: Apply for TI 26 010

Building Communities of Recovery (Funding Opportunity Number: TI 26 010) is a discretionary grant program from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) focused on expanding and strengthening long-term recovery supports in local communities. The central aim is to help eligible organizations mobilize, coordinate, and connect existing community resources so that more people can access sustained recovery support services. The program specifically targets individuals living with substance use disorders (SUD) as well as people who experience co-occurring substance use and mental disorders (COD), reflecting a recognition that long-term recovery often depends on coordinated supports that address both substance use and behavioral health needs over time, not just short-term treatment.

A key feature of this opportunity is its strong emphasis on community-based recovery infrastructure. Rather than funding clinical treatment in isolation, the grant is designed to reinforce the networks that help people remain stable in recovery, such as peer-driven support, recovery coaching, recovery community engagement, and linkages to local services and supports. The overarching expectation is that grantees will improve access to recovery supports by actively connecting individuals to resources already present across the community and by filling critical gaps where coordination is weak.

Eligibility is strictly limited by statute to Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs). This means applicants must be organizations that are rooted in and led by the recovery community and that have a primary mission of supporting recovery from substance use disorders. Other types of entities generally cannot apply unless they meet the formal definition and requirements of an RCO, so confirming eligibility status is essential before investing time in an application.

Operationally, the competition includes an unusually important submission constraint: SAMHSA will accept and review only the first 70 complete, successfully submitted, and high-quality applications received through eRA (the electronic submission system). Once 70 qualifying submissions have been received, the portal will close and no additional applications will be accepted or reviewed, even if the posted deadline has not yet arrived. In practical terms, this makes speed and submission readiness a major factor, and it raises the risk of waiting until the final days. The posted original closing date is July 16, 2026, but applicants should treat that date as conditional because the application window could effectively end earlier if the 70-application threshold is met.

The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $350,000, and SAMHSA anticipates making about 27 awards under this opportunity. The program is listed under CFDA number 93.490 and is categorized under the Health funding activity area. The opportunity was created on June 16, 2026, which also signals a relatively tight turnaround for organizations that want to submit a strong, complete application quickly.

In summary, this grant supports RCOs in building and strengthening community recovery ecosystems that expand access to long-term recovery supports for people with SUD and COD, with a capped intake of the first 70 high-quality applications submitted via eRA and an expected 27 awards of up to $350,000 each, with a nominal deadline of July 16, 2026 that may close earlier based on the submission cap.
