Date: 10/2/2007 SAMHSA Awards Nearly $159 Million for Substance Abuse Treatment and HIV/AIDS Services
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration today announced the award of 67 grants totaling nearly $159 million over five years to provide coordinated substance abuse treatment and HIV/AIDS services targeting African American, Hispanic, and other racial or ethnic minority communities affected by the epidemics of substance abuse and HIV/AIDS.
All of the grantees will offer rapid HIV testing, through on-site testing or by referral to a licensed partner agency or health department. Along with substance abuse treatment and HIV counseling and testing, Targeted Capacity Expansion Program projects offer health education, referrals, case management, and testing for sexually transmitted infections, hepatitis and tuberculosis. In addition, the program funds outreach and pretreatment for people living with or at risk for HIV/AIDS related to their substance abuse.
"Reaching out to those most at risk for HIV/AIDS requires building trust in their communities and being able to provide services right where people live and work," said
SAMHSA Administrator Terry Cline, Ph.D
. "These new grantees will bring education, testing, and treatment where it is most needed."
The 67 awards under the Targeted Capacity Expansion Program for Substance Abuse Treatment and HIV/AIDS Services are funded up to $500,000 per year in total costs for treatment services and $400,000 annually for outreach and treatment services. Continuation of these awards is subject to the availability of funds as well as the progress achieved by the grantees. Total funding for year one is $31.8 million. The grantees are:
