This grant is for DHCS-licensed residential substance use disorder (SUD) facilities in California seeking to start or expand medication-assisted treatment (MAT) services. Two tracks exist: Track One is for facilities without MAT prescribers onsite, and Track Two is for facilities already offering MAT that want to expand services. Both tracks require IMS certification or a commitment to obtain it within six months.
Facilities may apply based on bed count: 16 beds and under ($250,000 max), 17-50 beds ($350,000 max), or 51+ beds ($550,000 max). Funding supports recruitment, training, equipment, staffing capacity, and learning collaborations to build sustainable MAT services.
Track One applicants without current IMS certification must work with the Center of Excellence on their DHCS application. All applicants are encouraged to seek technical assistance from the Center of Excellence.

FAQ
Who is eligible to apply for this grant?
DHCS-licensed residential SUD facilities in California. Track One requires no current MAT prescriber onsite; Track Two requires existing MAT services with DEA Schedule III prescribers. Both tracks need IMS certification or a path to obtain it.
What can grant funds be used for?
One-time equipment purchases, staffing capacity, training, recruitment, mentorship, and learning collaboration. Funds should primarily support infrastructure and direct treatment provider capacity for MAT services.
What is the funding range?
Up to $250,000 for facilities with 16 or fewer beds; $350,000 for 17-50 beds; $550,000 for 51+ beds. The amount depends on facility size and track selected.
What happens if my facility doesn't have IMS certification yet?
You must work with the Center of Excellence to develop a DHCS IMS certification application. Facilities with existing certification are encouraged but not required to seek additional technical assistance.
When is the application deadline?
The deadline is April 30, 2025. Contact DHCS for more information on application procedures and any letter of intent requirements.
💡 Tips for applicants
- Clarify your facility's current MAT status before applying. Determine whether you qualify for Track One (initiating services) or Track Two (expanding services) based on your existing prescriber capacity.
- Budget strategically with bed count in mind. Your facility size determines the maximum award; allocate majority of funds to staffing and infrastructure rather than minor equipment.
- Plan for IMS certification now if you don't have it. Track One applicants must engage with the Center of Excellence early to ensure certification approval within the project timeline.
- Demonstrate sustainability in your proposal. Show how initial funding will create lasting MAT capacity through training, infrastructure, and staffing that persists beyond the grant period.
- Engage technical assistance early. The Center of Excellence provides valuable guidance on both IMS certification and MAT service expansion; use these resources to strengthen your application.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Applicants apply for the wrong track without confirming IMS certification status or current MAT prescriber capacity. Applications lack clear budget justification showing how funds support infrastructure and staffing over one-time purchases. Proposals underestimate the time and resources needed for IMS certification or fail to engage the Center of Excellence early enough.
