Summary

The Secretary must fund and run urban Indian alcohol programs through the Branch of Urban Health Programs. These are programs that began under the National Institute on Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse and were moved to the Service. Grants or contracts must keep alcohol prevention and treatment services going for urban Indian communities and any other goals the Service and the recipient agree on. Only urban Indian groups that run those transferred NIAAA programs can get the money. The Secretary may mix NIAAA alcohol funds with other substance abuse funds in the Branch and must evaluate the programs and report to Congress at least once every 5 years.
