Approval of the revised application for Federal Assistance SF-424 forms for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Grants to Expand Substance Use Disorder Treatment Capacity in Adult and Family Treatment Courts.
• The County was awarded two FY24 grants from SAMHSA to expand substance use disorder treatment in adult and family dependency courts, to include wrap around services and neurotrauma treatment in Pinellas Adult Drug Court and Family Dependency Treatment Court.
• The terms and conditions of the grant awards require revisions to be made to the Application for Federal Assistance SF-424 forms that were submitted at the time of application. The requested revisions change the point of contact from the Grant Section Manager to the dedicated Project Director for each grant award.
• SAMHSA requires all new and revised grant form submissions be executed by the Signing Official or the organization identified at the time of application, which is the County Administrator.
• Delegate authority to the County Administrator to execute the revised application.
• Approval of this report has no fiscal impact.

Summary:
Summary
At the time of the grant application submission, the name listed in Section 8f of the SF-424 form was the Grants Section Manager as the point of contact for the application development. Upon award, SAMHSA requested the submitted SF-424 application forms be revised to list the identified Project Director’s (PD) name and contact information in this section. The initial SF-424 forms were digitally signed by the County Administrator, as the Authorized Representative and Signing Official (SO) listed in the organizational profile, upon submission to SAMHSA through the Grants.gov application portal. The revised SF-424 forms will be submitted directly to SAMHSA post-award, therefore require signature outside of the Grants.gov application platform
