Transforming Lives Through Supported Employment

SAMHSA is accepting applications for Transforming Lives Through Supported Employment grants (Supported Employment Program). The purpose of the program is to support state and community efforts to refine, implement, and sustain evidence-based supported employment programs, and mutually-compatible and supportive evidence-based practices (e.g., supported education) for transition-aged youth/young adults (ages 16-25) with serious emotional disturbance, and adults with serious mental illness or co-occurring mental and substance use disorders.

SAMHSA plans to issue 7 grants of up to $800,000 per year for up to 5 years.
