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, Hispanic/Latino, and other racial and ethnic minority communities.
The program 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. |
