Funding Opportunity to Expand the Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion/Let everyone advance with dignity (LEAD) program

The Health Care Authority Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery is looking to award multiple contracts to entities who are able to provide LEAD services, with up to $4,000,000 available for consideration during this grant cycle to invite additional jurisdictions to launch law enforcement assisted diversion programs. Cities, counties, and tribes, subdivisions thereof, public development authorities, and community-based organizations demonstrating support from necessary public partners, may serve as the lead agency applying for funding.

Eligible entities will partner with local/Tribal law enforcement entities and other community-based organizations to provide services in alignment with law enforcement assisted diversion core principles. There is no budget minimum or maximum required for the application itself, as HCA would like to understand each entity’s cost of providing services as well as how a plan would be implemented. Funds are also available to scale existing projects, and project managers for those existing sites are encouraged to reach out to their HCA contract manager for more information about that process.
