Bottom line
Both SAMHSA opportunities are mission-aligned and budget-appropriate, but neither is actionable this cycle. Immediate action: Establish calendar reminders 6–7 months before these programs reopen (typically annual). Document your service metrics now (reach, outcomes, underserved populations served) to strengthen 2027 applications.
