In addition, SAMHSA oversees the implementation of the Synar Amendment, which requires states to have laws prohibiting the sale and distribution of tobacco products to minors.

Community Grants Reinvestment Fund
Purpose
The Community Grants Reinvestment Fund (“CGRF”) was established under New York’s Cannabis Law to reinvest in communities disproportionately affected by past federal and state drug policies. Decades of criminalization, disproportionate enforcement, and incarceration have left lasting impacts on the social, economic, and health outcomes of individuals, families, and communities across the state.
Through the Community Reinvestment Program, the Office of Cannabis Management (“OCM”) and the Cannabis Advisory Board (“CAB”) aim to promote restorative justice, strengthen community institutions, and invest in organizations that have supported resilience and healing despite the challenges of past drug laws.
For the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year grant cycle, the CAB will award grants to 501(c)(3) communitybased organizations serving youth, defined as individuals aged 0–24, in communities disproportionally affected by prior drug policies. This year’s funding focuses on five (5) program areas:
The goal is to create equitable, positive, and lasting impacts by investing in community-based programs that offer youth-focused initiatives and wraparound services tailored to local needs in communities disproportionally harmed by prior federal and state drug policies.
Funding
The applicant pool for the Community Grants Reinvestment Fund will be bifurcated into two tiers: Tier 1 Organizations and Tier 2 Organizations. Tier 1 and Tier 2 Organizations will be determined by the applicant organization’s total expenditures as reflected on their most current IRS tax filing.
Tier 2 Organizations
For Tier 2 Organizations, award amounts will be $200,000. Tier 2 Applicants must submit a budget request exactly equal to $200,000.
FY27 CSI Intact Family Recovery
Description
This grant award will have an initial period of performance starting in FY27 (07/01/2026 (or upon execution of the agreement) through 06/30/2029). A budget should be submitted for FY27 only.
Program Description
The Provider, in partnership with the Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse (AODA) Agency, will deliver services to families in three phases, with a different intensity of service provided during each phase. The Provider will provide the majority of home visits, with the aim of assuring child safety, while improving family functioning. This intervention model provides coordinated child welfare and substance abuse treatment supports to the intact family geared toward preventing the need for progression to substitute care placement. The child welfare agency will also be responsible for meeting all DCFS and project specific data and reporting requirements. Reports will be based on the child welfare worker's own observations as well as information gained from the AODA provider, during the period when the caretaker is in AODA treatment.
Aside from arranging for substance abuse treatment, funded through the DHS - DCFS Family Recovery Partnership, Medicaid, and DHS grant monies, the AODA provider, through subcontract, provided to this Agreement, will provide transportation, parenting services, enhanced outreach, early childhood and family life education, home visits to families, extended case management during treatment, and extended aftercare services. The AODA provider will also submit written reports on IFR clients as necessary.
Either the Provider or AODA Agency will have the ability to provide family therapy, psychological and psychiatric assessments (either through community linkages, internally, or through sub-contracts), and brief therapy when indicated by the needs of a particular family or client.
Early intervention for age-appropriate children and family planning information will also be provided, either through community linkages or by one of the entities in the partnership.
The Intact Family Recovery model is designed to deliver full case responsibility casework services, including AOD treatment and child welfare services to those families, reported to the Department for the birth of a substance-exposed infant or risk due to ongoing substance abuse, where the decision has been made that the family can safely remain intact.
Time frames and phases of the program are based on the individual family’s needs. However, program experience and best practice indicate that the time periods and program phases will be the expected time frames for most program families. IFR staff will document a parent’s movement through the program phases (in both directions) on the IFR form established to track the parent’s current phase of services. These completed forms shall be placed in the case file.
