RFGA2024-023 Arizona Trauma Recovery Center - Pilots

The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) has issued a grant opportunity under the title “RFGA2024-023 Arizona Trauma Recovery Center - Pilots.” This initiative stems from the agency’s mission to promote, protect, and improve the health and wellness of individuals and communities across Arizona. The effort specifically seeks to address the needs of survivors of crime and underserved populations through the establishment of Trauma Recovery Centers (TRCs) in alignment with the model defined by the National Alliance of Trauma Recovery Centers. This model is evidence-based and has been shown to yield positive outcomes for individuals affected by violence, including improved mental health, social functioning, and reduced substance use. The TRC model supports a holistic and trauma-informed approach to recovery. Centers funded through this opportunity will serve individuals who are victims of physical assault, domestic violence, sexual assault, gun violence, human trafficking, and similar traumatic experiences. TRCs will also extend services to family members of homicide victims. A core focus of this grant is to reach underserved groups, such as people of color, unhoused individuals, people with disabilities, and others who often face significant barriers to care. Services may be tailored to youth, adults, or families, depending on the expertise of the implementing entity. Grant funding for this opportunity is allocated through Arizona state legislative appropriations. A total of $5,000,000 is available to support the launch of TRC pilot sites throughout the state. Award amounts are to be determined based on the specific needs of the Arizona Department of Health Services. Applicants must adhere to strict allowable use guidelines, including restrictions on equipment costs, capital improvements, lobbying, and publicity expenses. Funding must be used only for eligible program purposes as outlined in the solicitation and must follow the State of Arizona Accounting Manual (SAAM) standards. Entities eligible to apply include local or county governments, tribal entities, federally qualified health centers, and nonprofit organizations with valid 501(c)(3) status. Applicants must demonstrate an understanding of the TRC model and victimization services and show they have the capacity and partnerships necessary to implement or enhance trauma-informed programming. Additionally, selected applicants will need to obtain all necessary facility licenses before program implementation. Applications for this grant will open on September 18, 2024, and close on November 6, 2024. A virtual pre-offer conference will be held on October 4, 2024, to provide additional information and allow potential applicants to ask questions. All inquiries must be submitted at least five days before the closing date.
