This Act establishes a pilot grant program to address the economic and workforce challenges faced by communities severely impacted by substance use disorder (SUD). The grants fund job training, career services, and crucial supportive services, including coordination with treatment providers and peer recovery support, to help affected individuals find and keep employment. The goal is to foster both economic recovery and sustained sobriety, directly improving citizens' financial stability and well-being.
Key points
Creates competitive grants for partnerships to offer job training and supportive services to workers directly or indirectly affected by substance use disorder.
Funds cover career services, on-the-job training, and coordination of outpatient treatment and peer recovery support to maintain employment for at least 12 months.
The program also supports training individuals for high-demand occupations that assist those struggling with SUD (e.g., mental health and treatment providers).
