Opportunity Information: Apply for SM 19 002
The Statewide Consumer Network Program (SCN) is a federal discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), specifically its Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS). For fiscal year 2019, SAMHSA sought applications under Funding Opportunity Number SM-19-002 (CFDA 93.243) to support statewide efforts that strengthen consumer-driven, recovery-oriented mental health systems. The central idea behind the program is to build out a stronger statewide peer infrastructure so that adults living with serious mental illness (SMI) have better access to supports that are run by, led by, and meaningfully shaped by people with lived experience.
The purpose of SCN is to improve how states address the needs of adults with SMI by developing and/or expanding three interconnected areas: peer support services, peer leadership, and peer engagement strategies across an entire state. In practice, this means funding is meant to help create or grow networks and organizations that can deliver peer-to-peer supports, cultivate peer leaders who can influence services and policy, and ensure people with lived experience are consistently involved in planning and decision-making. The program emphasizes statewide reach rather than isolated local projects, with an overall goal of embedding peer-driven approaches into the broader mental health service and recovery landscape.
The population of focus is adults with serious mental illness, with explicit attention to groups that are often underserved, under-represented, or face additional barriers to care and recovery supports. The grant highlights inclusion of people from ethnic, racial, and cultural minority communities; veterans; individuals experiencing chronic homelessness; people with co-occurring disorders (such as mental illness alongside substance use disorders); sexual orientation and gender identity minorities; and individuals who have been involved with the criminal justice system. By naming these groups, the opportunity signals that applicants should not only provide general peer supports, but also demonstrate culturally responsive, accessible, and equitable strategies that reach populations that frequently encounter gaps in traditional systems.
SAMHSA’s expected outcomes for SCN focus on both service impact and long-term system capacity. On the service side, the program is intended to increase access to mental health services and improve the quality of those services for adults with SMI, particularly through recovery-oriented peer approaches. On the sustainability side, it aims to strengthen and stabilize consumer-operated organizations, helping them remain viable and effective over time rather than relying on short-term initiatives. Finally, it is designed to enhance a state’s overall capacity and infrastructure to support recovery for adults with SMI and their families, which can include strengthening statewide networks, improving coordination and engagement practices, and expanding the presence and influence of peer leadership in mental health systems.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity was a grant (not a contract) with an award ceiling of $95,000 and an anticipated total of nine awards. The opportunity was posted on October 24, 2018, with an original application deadline of December 24, 2018. Eligibility is listed broadly as “Others,” with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, implying that applicants needed to confirm their fit based on the specific eligibility language provided by SAMHSA (often involving consumer-run or peer-led organizations, statewide networks, or entities able to carry out statewide peer infrastructure functions).
Overall, SCN is best understood as targeted funding to expand and professionalize statewide peer ecosystems for adults with serious mental illness, with a strong equity lens and a dual emphasis on immediate improvements in peer support access and longer-term sustainability of consumer-operated organizations and statewide recovery infrastructure.Apply for SM 19 002
