SAPT Block Grant
SAMHSAs reauthorizing statute, PL 106-310 from October, 1, 2000, includes a provision to replace the SAPT Block Grant with Performance Partnership Grants. When fully implemented, these grants will give states and territories greater flexibility in how to obligate and spend funds for addictions medical treatment and prevention services for people at risk for alcohol and other drug addiction.
States and territories submit annual reports and plans to the federal government describing how they expended SAPT Block Grant funds during the previous fiscal year and how they intend to obligate funds available in the current fiscal year. States and territories design their services and delivery systems to address specific local substance abuse problems.
Funding for the SAPT Block Grant program was $1,600,000,000 in 2000; $1,665,000,000 in 2001; $1,725,000,000 in 2002; and $1,785,000,000 in 2003. The 2004 estimate is $1,785,000,000.
