About this opportunity

The goals of the RSAT Program are to enhance the capability local units of government to provide substance use disorder treatment for people who are incarcerated; prepare individuals who are/have been justice involved for their reintegration into the communities from which they came by incorporating reentry planning activities into treatment programs; and assist those individuals and their communities through the reentry process by delivering community-based treatment and other broad-based aftercare services. The Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) Grant Program Proposal Package submission is available through an online portal submission process. Applicants must submit proposals through the BSCC Submittable portal by 5:00 p.m. (PST) on February 2, 2024 at which time the portal will close and no longer accept proposals. Prospective applicants are asked, but not required, to submit a non-binding letter indicating their intent to apply. These letters help the BSCC plan for the proposal evaluation process. The principal purpose of the RSAT Program is to break the cycle of drugs and violence by reducing the demand, use, and trafficking of illegal drugs. Counties that operate adult local detention facilities are eligible to apply and receive funding. Only one proposal per county may be submitted. To be eligible for RSAT funding, applicants must provide both a jail-based (in-custody) substance use disorder treatment program and aftercare services. RSAT funding may be used for the in-custody component, the aftercare component, or both. Proposals selected for funding will be under Grant Agreement with the BSCC from July 1, 2024 to December 31, 2027.

Funding for the second and third years is contingent on the amount and availability of federal funding and on compliance with the RSAT program requirements. Applicants shall build their proposal, objectives, activities, and budget information for the entire term of the Grant Agreement.
