Authorizing legislation allows counties to use these grant funds in support of MAT initiatives in an in-custody setting, a post-release setting, or a combination of both. Eligible applicants are California counties. Authorizing legislation limits the use of grant funds to three target populations:1) Individuals who are incarcerated in county detention facilities with substance use disorders,2) individuals under criminal justice supervision* with substance use disorders and3) justice-involved individuals** with substance use disorders.
