NEWARK, N.J. –U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito today announced
that more than $163 million in Department of Justice grants is available to
help communities address America’s addiction crisis.
“My office devotes substantial resources toward the battle
against opioid diversion and abuse, but the problem requires more than just a
law enforcement approach,” U.S. Attorney Carpenito said. “These grants provide
resources to our partners that can help them tackle opioid addiction, a crisis
that afflicts so many of our communities, with solutions focused on treatment
and recovery. I encourage them to explore the opportunities listed below.”
“Our nation is facing the difficult challenge of curbing
substance addiction, which threatens public safety and is among the
Administration’s top domestic priorities,” Katharine T. Sullivan, Principal
Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Justice Programs (OJP),
said. “The Department of Justice is front and center in the fight to meet this
challenge. OJP is making historic amounts of grant funding available to ensure
that our communities have access to innovative and diverse solutions.”
The funding is available through OJP, the federal
government’s leading source of public safety funding and crime victim
assistance in state, local and tribal jurisdictions. OJP’s programs support a
wide array of activities and services, including programs designed to prevent
overdose deaths and break the cycle of addiction and crime.
