Opportunity Information: Apply for SM 21 002
The Statewide Family Network (SFN) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SM 21 002) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS). It falls under the health funding activity category and is listed under CFDA 93.243. SAMHSA opened the application window on November 5, 2020, with an original closing date of January 4, 2021, and anticipated making about 10 awards, with funding up to an award ceiling of $950,000.
The core goal of the SFN program is to improve how states respond to the needs of children, youth, and young adults who have serious emotional disturbances (SED), along with the needs of their families. In the grant materials, this group is generally referred to as "children and youth." The program is designed to strengthen the practical supports families rely on, particularly by expanding access to information, referrals, and family-focused support. In other words, the grant is not only about services for a child; it is about building a statewide family-driven infrastructure that helps caregivers and families navigate mental health systems, connect to appropriate resources, and feel supported while doing so.
A central feature of the opportunity is its emphasis on family voice and family leadership in public systems. SFN funding is intended to create or strengthen a formal mechanism that allows families to participate directly in state and local mental health planning, policy development, and broader system decision-making. This includes improving how families engage with policy makers and service providers, and ensuring that lived experience helps shape how services are designed, funded, and delivered. The program expects family organizations to play a lead role in this work, acting as connectors between families on the ground and the agencies and providers that influence the mental health service landscape.
SAMHSA also frames the SFN program as a system transformation catalyst. Rather than operating as a stand-alone support line or isolated family organization, the network is expected to help shift how the overall mental health and related child-serving systems function across the state. This is expected to happen by strengthening coalitions among family organizations and building more durable, collaborative relationships between families, service providers, and government decision makers. The broader idea is that when families are organized, informed, and meaningfully included in planning and policy conversations, systems become more responsive, more coordinated, and more effective at meeting the real needs of children and youth with SED.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the notice indicating that applicants should consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement for specifics. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the opportunity is intended for applicants positioned to build or operate a statewide family network that can provide direct family supports while also representing families in planning and policy settings at both state and local levels.Apply for SM 21 002
