Opportunity Information: Apply for SM 19 004
The Statewide Family Network (SFN) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SM 19 004) is a discretionary grant program 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 is designed to strengthen statewide family-run and family-focused capacity to support children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance (SED) and to ensure that families have a meaningful, organized way to influence how mental health services are planned, delivered, and improved at both state and local levels.
At its core, the program aims to help families navigate complex mental health systems by funding efforts that provide practical information, referrals, and family support. Just as importantly, it emphasizes building a formal mechanism for family voices to be included in mental health service planning and policy development. SAMHSA frames the SFN program as a catalyst for broader systems transformation, meaning the grant is not only about direct family assistance, but also about strengthening relationships and coalitions among family organizations and improving collaboration between families, policymakers, and service providers. The long-term intent is to move states toward more responsive, community-based systems of care for children, youth, adolescents, and young adults with SED.
The SFN program builds on SAMHSA's prior investments in creating a stronger child, adolescent, and family focus across mental health programs. While progress has been made nationally, SAMHSA indicates that additional support is needed so that family networks become more self-sufficient and empowered over time. These networks are expected to play an active role in ongoing state and local mental health planning and in health care reform efforts that affect services for young people with SED, particularly reforms tied to improving access, quality, and coordination of community-based supports.
The stated goals of the program focus on strengthening the family network itself and expanding family leadership. This includes improving organizational infrastructure, leadership development, and management skills so a network can operate effectively and sustainably. It also prioritizes fostering leadership skills among families of children and adolescents with SED, so family members are prepared to participate in decision-making forums, advocate for needs, and contribute to policy discussions. Another major goal is to improve how families work with policymakers and service providers, with the expectation that stronger partnerships will lead to better-aligned services and more family-centered systems. Finally, the program seeks to promote peer support and social inclusion, recognizing that families benefit from connection, mutual support, and reduced isolation when dealing with serious youth mental health challenges.
Key administrative details include a CFDA number of 93.243, an award ceiling of $95,000, and an anticipated total of 15 awards. The opportunity was posted on November 5, 2018, with an original application deadline of January 4, 2019. The eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility clarification referenced in the full funding announcement. Overall, the SFN grant is geared toward strengthening statewide family-run networks so they can both support families directly and help reshape mental health systems to better meet the needs of children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance.Apply for SM 19 004
