Eligibility for this funding opportunity is limited to current SAMHSA FY 2014 MAI-CoC (TI-14-013) grantees. Eligibility is limited because these grantees specifically focus on the integration and co-location of behavioral health care and HIV and hepatitis medical services. These grantees have experience linking mental health, substance use, and prevention services with HIV and hepatitis screening and testing, and hepatitis vaccination. Having the established infrastructure, partnerships, knowledge, and experience best positions these entities to establish linkages with SSPs in the community without a lengthy start-up period or break in service.
