DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 Funding Opportunity

AGENCY: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of intent to award a Single Source Grant to the Tarzana 
Treatment Center, Reseda, CA.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice is to inform the public that the Substance Abuse 
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) intends to award 
approximately $509,000 (total costs) per year for up to two years to 
the Tarzana Treatment Center, Reseda, CA. This is not a formal request 
for applications. Assistance will be provided only to the Tarzana 
Treatment Center based on the receipt of a satisfactory application 
that is approved by an independent review group.
    Funding Opportunity Title: SM-09-015.
    Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 93.243.

    Authority: Sections 520A of the Public Health Service Act, as 
amended.

    Justification: Only the Tarzana Treatment Center, Reseda, CA is 
eligible to apply. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA) is seeking to award a single source grant to 
the Tarzana Treatment Center. Competition is limited to the Tarzana 
Treatment Center because it is presently funded through the Mental 
Health HIV Services Collaborative program. Several factors support the 
justification of a single source award to the intended applicant in 
order to maintain the integrity and consistency of the services of this 
grant activity. The grant award was for three years instead of five 
years because of an error in the application process. The current grant 
ends September 30, 2009. The Tarzana Treatment Center is in year-three 
of a process of providing treatment for over 100 individuals with HIV 
and co-occurring mental health disorders at various stages of recovery. 
The program's cross-site evaluation is planned as a five-year effort 
that includes all grantees and combines with SAMHSA's National Outcome 
Measures (NOMS) for site and program analysis.
