Grants to Expand Substance
Abuse Treatment Capacity in Targeted Areas of Need (program funds reserved for
linkages between substance abuse and HIV/AIDS services, $2.5 million) |
| Description of Initiative: |
Within grants to expand
substance abuse treatment capacity in targeted areas, $2.5 million of program
funds are reserved to address substance abuse and HIV/AIDS in African American,

is designed to address gaps in treatment capacity by supporting rapid and
strategic responses to demands for substance abuse treatment services in
communities with serious, emerging drug problems as well as communities with
innovative solutions to unmet needs. Applicants may request funding to expand
organizational capacity to provide a more comprehensive array of substance
abuse/HIV services through well defined linkages to other
organizations/providers; expand substance abuse/HIV program capacity by
increasing the number of slots in a substance abuse treatment program, or by
adding a new program; expand a core substance abuse program to accommodate
clients who are HIV positive or AIDS symptomatic; and enhance accessibility of
existing HIV/AIDS, STD, TB, and hepatitis B and C services by additions such as
community health education and risk reduction services, outreach services, or
mobile services including counseling/ testing/ treatment capabilities. |
| Eligible Entities: |
Local governmental entities
such as cities, towns, and counties, and regional governing authorities,
States, Territories, and Indian Tribal Governments. Applicants are encouraged
to engage (coordinate/ subcontract) the skills and services of a wide variety
of community-based treatment organizations in carrying out the grant, or to
work with other jurisdictions to address a problem that cuts across their
geographical boundaries. |
