The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has announced $43 million in new supplemental funding available to State Opioid Response program grantees to expand recovery housing services for young adults, ages 18–24.

This one-year supplemental funding requires grant recipients to develop and/or expand recovery housing services for young adults with opioid or stimulant use disorders. States and territories that accept the supplemental funding will also be able to provide treatment, including family-based treatment, provide dedicated care coordinators to assist in navigating various service sectors, and provide individuals with a range of recovery support services, such as coaching, vocational training, employment support, transportation, childcare, and more.

The current SOR formula will be used to calculate the award amounts for all 50 states.
