Treatment, Recovery, and Workforce Support

The Treatment, Recovery, and Workforce Support program is designed to empower individuals undergoing treatment for substance use disorders or co-occurring mental health conditions by providing the resources needed to achieve independent living and successful workforce participation. Funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration under the Department of Health and Human Services, the initiative focuses on holistic support services that bridge the gap between recovery and employment, ensuring participants can gain stability, build skills, and sustain long-term recovery through structured assistance. This effort recognizes that recovery is not only about abstinence but also about reintegration into society through meaningful employment and community engagement. The program was announced as a forecast on March 20, 2026, with no solicitation number or set-aside details currently available, indicating that full application guidelines may still be in development. Interested parties are directed to contact Alexis Gonsalves Nelson at workforcesupport@samhsa.hhs.gov or 240-276-1261 for further information. While the exact grant mechanisms, eligibility criteria, and funding amounts are not yet specified, the program signals a strategic investment in workforce development as a core component of behavioral health recovery, targeting communities nationwide with a focus on outcomes that promote self-sufficiency and economic mobility.
