The public is invited to review the 1999 Washington state application for federal substance abuse prevention and treatment (SAPT) block grant funding. The application is submitted annually to the federal Centers for Substance Abuse Treatment and Substance Abuse Prevention. The 1999 application will result in approximately $29 million in federal funds being awarded to the state of Washington for substance abuse prevention and treatment. The funds awarded will be expended during federal fiscal year 2000 (10/99 - 9/00).

The application is being prepared by the Department of Social and Health Services, Division of Alcohol and Substance Abuse. A summary of the SAPT block grant requirements and the plan for award allocation is available to anyone interested upon request.
