This report reviews the award amounts and program highlights for grantees under the Tribal Courts Assistance Program/Indian Alcohol and Substance Abuse Prevention Program (TCAP/IASAP) for the period of April through September 2015.
Abstract
The purpose of the ICAP/IASAP grant program is to plan and implement tribal court system-wide strategies that address crime issues related to alcohol and substance abuse. Grantees can use funds for a variety of such programs and initiatives. Grant amounts are reported for each fiscal year from 2010 through 2015. For this period, 142 active awards amounted to $74,142,439. During the grant period of April-September 2015, 391 individuals participated in Healing to Wellness Courts (HTW), which are similar to drug courts. This was a16-percent increase from the same 6-month period in 2014. Thirty-seven individuals graduated from HTW courts during the current reporting period, the same number as the period in 2014. A total of 387 individuals were referred to treatment services, a 52-percent decrease from the same 2014 6-month period. The number of grantees serving each of the following target audiences is reported: high school students, middle school students, elementary school students, under age 18, under age 21, young adults ages 18-25, adults ages 26-55, pre-kindergarten youth, and "other."
