FY2025 Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) Winter/Spring

The Montana Board of Crime Control (MBCC) is soliciting proposals for the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) for State Prisoners Program to be funded by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance. The RSAT for State Prisoners Program assists state, local and tribal governments in the development and implementation of substance abuse treatment programs in state, local and tribal correctional and detention facilities, as well as in the creation and maintenance of community reintegration services for offenders. The purpose of the RSAT for State Prisoners Program is to increase access to treatment for individuals with substance use or co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders during detention or incarceration and to improve continuity of care during and after reentry by delivering community-based treatment and other broad-based aftercare services. RSAT’s objectives are to enhance the capabilities of states and units of local and tribal government to provide residential substance abuse treatment for incarcerated inmates; prepare inmates for their reintegration into a community by incorporating reentry planning activities into treatment programs; and assist these offenders and their communities through the reentry process by delivering community-based treatment and other broad-based aftercare services. Treatment practices and/or services are required to be evidence-based as shown through treatment outcomes that are consistent with the RSAT Program objectives. The application process is competitive. Previous funding does not guarantee an award during this funding cycle. Approximately $880,000 will be available during the project period, depending upon availability of federal funds. Because federal funds are not always available immediately following the award date, applicants should prepare for this contingency.

Applicants having questions or requiring clarification or interpretation of any section within this funding opportunity must address these issues via the email address listed above by the date listed above. Clear reference to the funding opportunity section and item in question must be included in the request. Questions received after the close date will not be considered. Program-specific questions cannot be addressed during the solicitation period. Written responses to all questions received by the deadline will be posted in the Opportunity Details section of this funding opportunity within seven calendar days. Applicants should consult the Question Submission response prior to posting a question to avoid duplication and prior to submitting an application to avoid missing potentially assistive material. Any other form of interpretation of this funding opportunity will not be binding upon MBCC.

Eligible applicants are state agencies and units of local government, including federally recognized Indian tribal governments that perform law enforcement functions. Private, nonprofit, and for-profit community-based service providers, are also eligible to apply.
