Recovery High Schools

The Recovery High Schools grant opportunity is offered by the New Jersey Department of Human Services, Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services, to support one fully accredited State of New Jersey Recovery High School. Funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration through the New Jersey State Opioid Response, the initiative provides up to 100,000 dollars to enhance recovery outcomes by expanding intensive supports beyond traditional school hours and during the summer. Eligible applicants must be a fully accredited New Jersey Recovery High School that did not receive funding from the previous RLI issued on May 6, 2026. The funding is intended for essential goods, services, and human resources, though it strictly prohibits capital improvements such as building expansions. Specific cost restrictions include a limit of 10 dollars per person per day for student activity food and refreshments. The period of performance is anticipated to run through September 29, 2027, with the possibility of a one-year extension at the discretion of the agency. Letters of Interest must be submitted to the proposal receiving office in Trenton, New Jersey, by 4:00 p.m. ET on October 23, 2026.
