Violence & Substance Abuse Prevention: Jackson County COMBAT is seeking to fund violence and substance abuse prevention programs that deliver trauma-informed and/or trauma-sensitive services to Jackson County residents.
- Programs must be evidence- or research-based, and targeted populations must be clearly described and justified as appropriate for an anti-violence/anti-drug funding application.
- Partnerships are encouraged that take advantage of existing resources, expertise and experience in working with the targeted population.
- COMBAT will be allocating resources for programs in “hot spots” that have been identified through inputting crime report data to generate Areas of Interest smart maps outlining those neighborhoods where anti-violence services are most needed.
Substance Abuse Treatment: The objectives of the COMBAT Treatment services are to provide treatment with an overreaching goal of achieving the following general outcomes for those who use drugs:
- Counseling and/or medical-assisted programs leading to long-term recovery from drug use;
- Retention in treatment for a period of time that maximizes treatment effects;
- Improved employment and/or educational status;
- Elimination of criminal behavior;
- Improved family relationships and living environment; and
- Creation or enhancement of a social support system that is conducive to recovery;
- Proposals must be evidence-based or research-based and provide one or more services:
- Provide detoxification, residential, community based primary treatment, intensive outpatient, and supported recovery. COMBAT is also seeking additional services specifically for residential support (room and board).
- Provide specialized programs and/or services (including residential treatment beds) for Jackson County Drug Court. Collaborative programs that provide room and board by one agency and treatment at a partnering agency are encouraged. Agencies must provide signed letters of participation.
- Programs that specifically target inmates at the Jackson County Detention Center to assist clients in living drug-free lives after leaving incarceration, regardless of length of sentence. These programs may also be supportive of Drug Court diversion opportunities for Drug Court clients who are incarcerated.
Law Enforcement School-Based: Law Enforcement has the opportunity to establish new innovated anti-drug and anti-violence prevention programs within the schools other than DARE. The requirements are that the program must be either evidence-based or research-based. The prevention programs must be developed in cooperation and collaboration with the school district. Please use this opportunity to broaden your scope of services.
