The Welfare Reform Act of 1997 establishes the availability of $12 million in TANF block grant funds for the purpose of providing enhanced drug/alcohol rehabilitation services to families in receipt of Family Assistance. These funds are separate from the screening and assessment monies provided to all districts and will be made available to districts on an optional basis to design and develop an enhanced drug/alcohol rehabilitation program which focuses on the needs of the family, promotes family values and stability, and maximizes the potential for successful treatment outcomes while addressing the goals of self-support and self-sufficiency.
