Eligible applicants are either the State Mental Health Authority (SMHA) or the Single State Agency (SSA) in the states listed below. However, SAMHSAуs expectation is that both the SSA and the SMHA will work in partnership to fulfill the requirements of the grant. To demonstrate this collaboration, applicants must provide a letter of commitment from the partnering entity in Attachment 4 of the application. If the SMHA and the SSA are one entity, applicants must include a statement to that effect in Attachment 4. SAMHSA believes that limiting eligibility to states is the most efficient and effective way to facilitate a systems approach (i.e., strengthen or develop infrastructure). In addition, states are in a unique position to efficiently and effectively impact the goals of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) Strategic Plan. States that received an FY 2013 or FY 2014 CABHI-States grant are not eligible to apply because they are currently receiving funding for this program. In addition, eligibility is being restricted because SAMHSA seeks to further expand the impact of the CABHI-States program across the nation.
