California Youth Opioid Response Grants provide funding to increase access to quality services for youth and young adults (ages 12-14) in California with opioid and/or stimulant use disorders (OUD/StUD).
Implementation grants will support evidence-based practices and/or research-based promising practices, tools, and curricula to expand both access to and quality of services for youth/young adults with OUD/StUDs. Implementation grantees are expected to:
- Establish or fortify partnerships
- Build workforce competencies
- Identify and address gaps and barriers to reach, engage, and retain youth/young adults in services and supports
Capacity-building only grants are intended to help a lead agency and its partners plan and develop procedures, policies, and activities that improve access to services but do not provide direct services for youth/young adults. Project examples include:
- Train MAT providers on the specific needs of youth/young adults
- Provide naloxone access for youth/ young adults
- Develop target population–specific outreach and engagement strategies
- Build agency capacity to offer youth MAT and other StUD/OUD services
- Expand use of the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA) or another evidence-based practice in serving youth with OUD/StUDs
- Support dialogue, training, and policies delivering culturally competent outreach, navigation, and support to link youth of color with treatment and recovery services
- Expand use of positive youth development and pro-social activities in MAT and other youth treatment for OUD/StUDs
- Improve integration of health/medication for OUD and youth-specific behavioral health interventions
- Expand access to recovery support for youth with OUD/StUDs in schools
Eligible applicants include any nonprofit or for-profit business entity in good standing and authorized to do business in California, as well as any tribal authority, state or local government entity, school, or school district.
