HR-2834 : Still Just a Bill

Partnership Grants to Strengthen Families Affected by Parental Substance Abuse Act

This bill amends part B (Child and Family Services) of title IV of the Social Security Act to modify the grant program that provides funding to state and regional partnerships to prevent child abuse and neglect related to substance abuse. Specifically, the bill modifies the definition of "regional partnership," revises the grant application and grantee reporting process, and expands the grant program to include services to parents and families.

The bill reauthorizes program grants for FY2017-FY2021 in amounts between $250,000 (currently $500,000) and $1 million per grant per fiscal year.
