The Community Programs for Youth and Young Adults at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis grant is administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. This federal discretionary funding opportunity is designed to support community-based behavioral health initiatives that address early identification and intervention for individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis. SAMHSA’s broader mission is to reduce the impact of substance abuse and mental illness on America’s communities, and this program aligns with that mission by targeting youth populations at a critical developmental stage. The primary purpose of this program is to fund trauma-informed and evidence-based interventions for youth and young adults up to age 25 who are identified as being at clinical high risk for psychosis. These interventions are intended to prevent or delay the onset of psychotic disorders and improve long-term mental health outcomes. The program emphasizes early detection, coordinated care, and the use of scientifically validated practices that are responsive to trauma and culturally appropriate for diverse populations. Funding under this opportunity is expected to support community programs that provide screening, assessment, outreach, treatment, and supportive services. Allowable activities likely include clinical services, care coordination, workforce development, and community engagement strategies, although detailed allowable cost categories will be further specified upon official release. The program includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, indicating that applicants must contribute additional resources or funding as part of the project design. Total program funding is estimated at 7,000,000 dollars, with approximately 10 awards anticipated. Eligibility for this opportunity is limited by statute to public entities. These include state governments and territories, political subdivisions such as counties, cities, and towns, and federally recognized American Indian or Alaska Native tribes and tribal organizations. This limitation ensures that funded programs are administered by public or governmental bodies with the capacity to deliver population-level services and coordinate with public health systems. The application process is currently forecasted and has not yet opened. The estimated posting date is May 15, 2026, at which point full application instructions, required forms, and submission procedures will be made available through Grants.gov. No pre-application requirements such as letters of intent or concept papers are specified at this stage. Applicants will likely be required to submit a comprehensive proposal including program narrative, budget, and supporting documentation once the funding opportunity is officially released. The timeline for this opportunity remains partially unspecified beyond the estimated posting date. Application deadlines, award dates, and project start dates have not yet been published. However, as a forecasted federal grant, applicants are encouraged to begin preparing organizational readiness, partnership development, and program design in advance of the official notice. Questions regarding the opportunity can be directed to the listed program contact via email or phone. The program does not indicate a recurring cycle at this stage, though similar SAMHSA programs are often released annually.
