PRIA, Government Policy, Made Personal

Summary

The Secretary may give grants to urban Indian organizations that already have certain federal contracts. The money can pay for health services in cities to prevent, treat, and rehabilitate people with alcohol or drug problems, and for school or community education about those issues. Each grant must list specific goals agreed on by the Secretary and the recipient. The Secretary must set rules for awarding grants based on six things: the size of the urban Indian population served; how easy it is to get other health services and how much they are used; whether the work would duplicate other federal help; the group’s ability to do the work; performance standards negotiated for each grant; and proof of need. The same rules apply to any funds urban Indian groups get under this law for substance abuse services.
