Attorney General Kris Mayes has announced a new grant program to support Tribal Nations affected by fraudulent sober living home practices. The $6 million initiative, funded through the Anti-Racketeering Revolving Fund, aims to assist communities impacted by behavioral healthcare fraud related to Arizona’s Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS).
“Every community deserves care they can trust,” said Attorney General Mayes. “This funding will help Tribal Nations provide much-needed support for individuals impacted by the fraudulent sober living home scandal. And my office will continue to pursue accountability for those responsible for sober living home fraud.”
The Sober Living Home Support Program will offer grants of up to $500,000 per Tribal Nation. These funds are intended to provide compensation, remediation, and supportive housing for those affected. The program seeks to alleviate economic loss and support recovery efforts, reinforcing Attorney General Mayes' commitment to addressing the harm caused by fraudulent practices targeting vulnerable communities in Arizona.
Eligible Tribal Nations can apply for grants through the State of Arizona’s grant portal until January 31, 2025. More information on how to apply is available at https://grants.az.gov/funding-opportunities under “Sober Living Home Support Programs.”
