SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submission of Funding Application #29-463 to the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Treatment
Improvement (OTI) , in the amount of $ 677, 637, for the period from
September 30, 1991 through September 29, 1992, for substance abuse
services for adolescents in the County's Juvenile Justice system.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Approval of this application by the U.S.Department of Health and
Human Services will result in $677, 637 of funding. No County match
is required for this grant.
This request is for the first year of funding for a four-year
program from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
In the Federal 1988 War on Drugs legislation, Congress created a
new agency called the Office for Treatment Improvement (OTI) within
the Department of Health and Human Services. With limited funding,
the purpose of this new office is to improve, not necessarily
expand, drug abuse services throughout the County. Congress
..charged OTI with funding "Critical Populations" which were defined
as adolescents, racial/ethnic minorities and residents of public
housing; separate funding is provided for criminal justice
treatment programs.
The Health Services Department has developed a proposal which
responds to the needs of adolescents in the Juvenile Justice
system. Approval of this funding application may result in funding
of over $600, 000 annually for a four year period.
In order to meet the deadline for submission, the application has
been forwarded to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
but subject to Board approval. Two certified copies of the Board
Order authorizing submission of the application should be returned
to the Contracts and Grants Unit.
