The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance (CFDA 93.243) program to the Maniilaq Association, doing business as Maniilaq Health Center, a non-profit Alaskan Native Corporation and minority-owned hospital. This 5-year project (9/30/2024 - 9/29/2029) will serve the predominantly Alaska Native population of the Northwest Arctic region, focusing on the prevention of opioid, stimulant, and polysubstance abuse or use disorder. The project aims to develop a culturally informed, evidence-based community prevention effort and strengthen the coordination of substance abuse prevention, treatment, recovery, and harm reduction services across the Maniilaq service area. The funding will support an estimated 250 individuals annually with prevention services.
