Transition Age Youth, defined as individuals aged 16–25, represent a critical population in North Carolina, where over 162,000 individuals are estimated to experience a substance use disorder (SUD). Of these, many also face co-occurring mental health disorders or additional challenges, such as problem gaming or gambling, that complicate recovery efforts.
This RFA aims to develop programs that create supportive environments that integrate treatment and recovery services, including family education and preservation for youth still residing in homes with their families, to decrease the need for foster care, residential treatment or referrals to juvenile justice programs. For those older transitional aged youth, in addition to clinical services, programs must address essential life supports such as recovery supported housing needs, education and employment opportunities.
Applications are due March 10, 2025
