About this archived opportunity

This funding is particularly focused on tribal and urban Indian communities in California because of the racial and health disparities impacting substance use, prevention, and treatment services. According to the 2019 statewide needs assessment, Addressing the Opioid Crisis in American Indian & Alaska Native Communities: A Statewide Needs Assessment, a need for culturally centered activities and treatments to prevent and treat OUD/SUD was identified. [1] The report highlighted that such services maintain the resilience of an individual through an emphasis of cultural connectedness, cultural services, positive role models, and availability of supportive services and programs. Awarded funds will support the planning and implementation of culturally responsive MAT services for opioid use disorder for tribal and urban Indian communities throughout the state. Prospective applicants are encouraged to review the California Native MAT Network for Healing and Recovery Overview[ND1] more details.
