Request for Proposal to be Awarded by the Northern Michigan Regional Entity

This Request for Proposal (RFP) represents the Northern Michigan Regional Entity’s (NMRE) intent to solicit interest from Substance Use Disorder Providers for the provision of ARPA SABG Grant service projects during Fiscal Year 2024 (October 1, 2023 – September 30, 2024) as listed below:

• Prevention: Evidence-Based Practices: $100,000
• Recovery Supports: Recovery Housing: $100,000.00
• Recovery Supports: Recovery Support Services to Individuals who are Pregnant, Parenting or Have Jeopardized Child Custody: $75,000.00

Public Law 117-2, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA), signed by President Biden on March 11, 2021, directed the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to provide additional funds to support states through Block Grants to address the effects of the COVID -19 pandemic for Americans with mental illness and substance use disorders. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed and exacerbated severe and pervasive health and social inequities in America, including the critical importance of supporting people with mental illness and substance use disorders. As the pandemic swept through the states, societal stress and distress over this newly emerging disaster created the need for nimble and evolving policy and planning in addressing mental and substance use disorder services. SAMHSA, through this guidance, is asking states to improve and enhance the mental health and substance use service array that serves the community.
