National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative - Community Treatment and Service Centers (CTS)

The National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative - Community Treatment and Service Centers program aims to establish and operate centers dedicated to expanding access to evidence-based trauma treatment for children, youth, and their families affected by traumatic events. These centers will provide comprehensive, culturally responsive services designed to improve mental health outcomes and support long-term recovery within communities. The initiative is funded and administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to address gaps in trauma care and ensure timely, effective interventions are available where needed most. Solicitation SM-26-004 was posted on July 1, 2026, with a response deadline of July 27, 2026, and is open to organizations seeking to partner with federal efforts to strengthen childhood trauma response systems. While no specific set-aside or NAICS code is identified, the opportunity is open to a broad range of eligible applicants willing to deliver coordinated, high-quality treatment services in diverse settings. Applicants must engage with the designated point of contact, Rachel Bailey, for further information or procedural guidance, and performance will occur across unspecified locations nationwide under the oversight of SAMHSA.
