JLWA planned, coordinated, and developed the California American Indian Recovery
(CAIR) proposal and program for the California Rural Indian Health Board. The
statewide project was coordinated with 30 Indian health care organizations (tribal and
urban), 22 community organizations, the Indian Health Service, and the California
Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs.
The $17.1 million Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration award
was the first Access to Recovery (ATR) grant award made to a tribal organization. The
program provided substance abuse treatment and recovery support services to
thousands of American Indians and Alaska Natives. We also developed the program
policies and procedures, handbook, and website content. We participated on the
advisory committee, assisted with training, and provided technical support throughout
the project. The California Rural Indian Health Board is now in their seventh year of
implementation of the CAIR program.
