Alaska U.S. Attorney Announces $163M to Combat Addiction Crisis, Alaska 2020
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – U.S. Attorney Bryan Schroder for the District of Alaska announced that more than $163 million in grant funding is available nationwide to help communities address America’s addiction crisis.
“Our nation is facing the difficult challenge of curbing substance addiction, which threatens public safety and is among the Administration’s top domestic priorities,” said Katharine T. Sullivan, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Justice Programs. “The federal government is front and center in the fight to meet this challenge. OJP is making historic amounts of grant funding available to ensure that our communities have access to innovative and diverse solutions.”
The funding is available through OJP, the federal government’s leading source of public safety funding and crime victim assistance in state, local and tribal jurisdictions. OJP’s programs support a wide array of activities and services, including programs designed to prevent overdose deaths and break the cycle of addiction and crime.
A number of funding opportunities that address the addiction crisis are currently open: the Adult Drug Court and Veterans Treatment Court Discretionary Grant Program, the Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Abuse Site-based Program, the Enhancing Community Responses to America’s Addiction Crisis: Serving Our Youngest Crime Victims, and others.
