Summary

To get a grant, the chief executive of a State, Indian Tribe, local government, or community nonprofit must send an application to the Attorney General. The application must follow the Attorney General’s instructions, promise that Federal money will add to (not replace) non‑Federal funds, and explain how criminal and juvenile justice agencies, mental health and community behavioral health providers, people who may be served, and family or community members will work together on program design, carrying out the program, and training for crisis response, taking medicines, and keeping recovery going in the community. The Attorney General will favor applicants that ensure people leaving correctional facilities get continuous care in a community care provider program and that adopt rules to lower reoffending and probation violations. Continuity of care means coordinating jail/prison treatment with community behavioral health providers and supports (including pre‑trial release, parole supervision, halfway houses, and peer recovery groups). A community care provider program is a community mental health center or certified community behavioral health clinic that provides or links people to treatment, medication help, and other recovery supports when they leave custody. Applications must also say how the grant money will be coordinated with Federal behavioral health help from SAMHSA.
