Opportunity Information: Apply for TI 17 015
The Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act: Building Communities of Recovery (BCOR) grant was a FY 2017 discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, administered by SAMHSA through its Center for Substance Abuse Treatment. The program was designed to strengthen long-term recovery in communities by mobilizing resources both within the recovery community and among outside partners. At its core, BCOR focuses on making recovery support more available, higher quality, and better connected so that people with substance use disorders can maintain health, wellness, and stability over time.
A central feature of the opportunity is its emphasis on recovery support services (RSS) rather than stand-alone clinical treatment. The grant supports the development, enhancement, expansion, and delivery of individualized recovery supports, along with broader promotion and education about recovery. SAMHSA frames recovery as something that is sustained in day-to-day life, especially when evidence-based clinical treatment is paired with robust nonclinical supports. In other words, treatment may initiate change, but community-based supports help people keep going, rebuild their lives, and stay connected to resources that reduce relapse risk.
BCOR also clearly affirms that there are multiple legitimate pathways to recovery. The opportunity explicitly recognizes abstinence achieved with FDA-approved medications, including methadone, buprenorphine formulations (including buprenorphine/naloxone combinations and mono-products), naltrexone (extended-release and oral), disulfiram, and acamprosate calcium. This signals that applicants were expected to support recovery in an inclusive way that does not stigmatize medication-assisted approaches and that aligns with evidence-based standards of care.
The program places strong importance on recovery-led governance and authentic community representation. Funded efforts were expected to be principally governed by people in recovery from substance use disorders who reflect the community being served. This is meant to ensure that services are grounded in lived experience, culturally responsive, and aligned with what people in recovery say they actually need to maintain long-term progress.
In terms of allowable and encouraged activities, BCOR funds could be used to build and strengthen connections across recovery networks, among Recovery Community Organizations (RCOs), and with other recovery support service providers. The intent is to create a more coordinated local recovery ecosystem, where organizations are not operating in isolation and people can move smoothly between supports as their needs change. Grantees were also expected to tackle stigma related to addiction, recognizing stigma as a major barrier that keeps people from seeking help, staying engaged, and being accepted in workplaces, families, housing, and other community settings. Public education and outreach were therefore a key component, with the goal of improving community understanding of addiction and recovery and increasing acceptance of people in recovery.
Operationally, the opportunity was released May 4, 2017, with an application deadline of July 3, 2017. The funding instrument was a grant under CFDA 93.243, with an award ceiling of $200,000 and an anticipated 13 awards. Eligibility was listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, reflecting that the program was aimed at community-based recovery entities rather than limited to a narrow set of traditional applicants. Overall, BCOR was built to expand recovery support infrastructure, connect recovery organizations and services, educate the public, reduce stigma, and ultimately increase both the prevalence and quality of long-term recovery in communities.Apply for TI 17 015
