Expanding Youth Access to Community-Based Treatment

The Institute for Intergovernmental Research (IIR) proposes administering a subaward program for local project sites and development of a national Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) program with the overarching goal to build capability and capacity of diversion programs serving justice-involved youth with substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health and substance use disorder needs, preventing them from entering the formal justice system by diverting them to treatment, healing, and hope.
