Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 22 061
The Rural Communities Opioid Response Program - Behavioral Health Care Support (RCORP-BHS) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It sits within HRSA's broader, multi-year Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP), which is designed to reduce illness and deaths linked to substance use disorders (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD), in rural areas that face elevated risk and limited service capacity. The focus of this particular funding stream is strengthening rural behavioral health care by expanding both access to services and the quality of care available across prevention, treatment, and recovery supports.
At its core, RCORP-BHS is about improving rural behavioral health service delivery in a practical, community-facing way. HRSA frames this improvement as increasing access to and utilization of prevention services, treatment services, and recovery services for people affected by behavioral health conditions. While opioid and other substance use disorders are central to the program's purpose, the scope explicitly includes other behavioral health needs as well, such as mental health disorders, reflecting the reality that substance use and mental health challenges often overlap and require coordinated care. The intent is to help rural communities build or enhance systems that can identify risk earlier, connect people to evidence-informed treatment, and support long-term recovery with wraparound services that fit rural geography and workforce constraints.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-22-061 and is categorized as a grant under the health funding activity area (CFDA 93.912). HRSA anticipated making about 26 awards, with an award ceiling of $500,000 per award. The notice was created on January 18, 2022, and the original application closing date was April 19, 2022. As with many federal grant programs, the number of awards and funding levels indicate a competitive process aimed at supporting a select group of communities or regional partnerships that can demonstrate readiness, need, and a workable plan to improve behavioral health outcomes in rural settings.
Eligibility for this program is broad and includes many types of organizations that commonly anchor rural health initiatives. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. HRSA also notes an "Others" category with additional eligibility clarification in the full notice. This wide eligibility range signals that HRSA expects applicants to come from different parts of a rural community's infrastructure, including health providers, educational institutions, local governments, and tribal entities, often working together to strengthen the overall behavioral health response.
In summary, RCORP-BHS is a targeted federal investment aimed at helping rural communities expand and improve the full continuum of behavioral health care related to substance use and mental health. The program emphasizes measurable improvements in service availability and use, with the larger goal of reducing preventable harm and deaths from SUD and OUD in rural America by building stronger, more connected prevention, treatment, and recovery systems.Apply for HRSA 22 061
