Indiana Gov. Eric J. Holcomb announced the state will award $750,000 in grants by March 1 supporting local coalitions across the state to combat the drug crisis, including a grant for the local Alliance For Substance Abuse Progress.
The local grant is for $75,000, which will go toward guiding clients through needed services, volunteer training programs, a Hub client management software system and client transportation services, according to Matthew Neville, ASAP’s communications manager.
“As we continue to attack the drug crisis, effective local coalitions are our partners on the front lines,” Holcomb said. “These grants will help empower them to come alongside more Hoosiers who are in need of care.”
Substance use coalitions in 10 counties are receiving a $75,000 grant to develop, improve and enhance their collaborative, evidence-based treatment and recovery initiatives.
The grants will help coalitions:
Identify gaps in services, measure outcomes, build capacity, and develop recovery-oriented systems of care.
Support navigators who provide case management services and guide individuals and families through the recovery process to help communities coordinate public and private services.
Reduce barriers to treatment by funding services, including transportation, housing and child care.
“Gov. Holcomb has called for an all hands on deck approach to attack the drug crisis and communities across the state are answering that call,” said Indiana Executive Director for Drug Prevention, Treatment and Enforcement Jim McClelland. “The grants will help local coalitions develop stronger alliances and bolster initiatives to help more people recover from substance use disorder.”
Grant recipients were selected from applications received in response to a request for funding announcement from the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration.
