Legislation introduced by State Rep., Jim Gregory that would strengthen programs for individuals recovering from substance abuse has been unanimously endorsed by the House Human Services Committee and now be considered by the full House. The grant program, which would be created under Gregory’s HB 1650, targets the development, expansion, and improvement of the system of delivery support services in the state. Those services include peer and family support, mentoring services, housing and assistance in finding gainful employment. Grants would be funded thru the state budget to the Dept., of Drug and Alcohol Prevention.
