The total program is expected to provide a total of $7.5 million over its three year course. The actual amounts may vary, depending on the availability of these funds and the performance of the grantees. The grants will be administered by SAMHSA’s Center for Substance Abuse Treatment.
WHO CAN APPLY: Eligible applicants are existing misdemeanor or felony adult treatment drug courts that have demonstrated relationships and agreements with existing domestic public and private nonprofit entities and community-based treatment providers, and units of Tribal, State and local government that submit applications on behalf of an individual misdemeanor or felony adult treatment drug court.
