The Regional Partnership Grant (RPG) Program is designed to help children who are in or at risk of being placed in foster care because of a caregiver's substance abuse. It funds partnerships between child welfare services, substance abuse treatment providers, and courts to create family-focused treatment programs. These programs aim to provide comprehensive support, including substance abuse treatment, counseling, and parenting skills training. The grant supports projects over five years, with specific phases for planning and implementation.
Who it's for: This grant is for organizations that can form regional partnerships to support families affected by substance abuse. Eligible applicants include for-profit organizations, federally recognized Indian tribal governments, state and local governments, nonprofits (both with and without 501(c)(3) status), and other Native American tribal organizations.
