Cherokee Nation was among eight sites in the country to be awarded the federal STREETS grant, through the new Safety Through Recovery, Engagement, and Evidence-based Treatment and Support (STREETS) program from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The funds mark a significant investment in improving health and wellness for Cherokee Nation citizens most at risk for mental health challenges, substance use disorders and housing insecurities.

Administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), STREETS will provide $96 million total over four years to help communities build coordinated systems of care for people who are homeless and have serious mental illness, substance use disorders, or co-occurring disorders, according to HHS.
