Bill Summary

Building Capacity for Family-Focused Residential Treatment Act

AI Summary

This bill, the Building Capacity for Family-Focused Residential Treatment Act, aims to support the development and evaluation of evidence-based family-focused residential treatment programs for pregnant and postpartum women and parents with substance use disorders. The bill authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to eligible entities, such as state or local agencies, nonprofits, and research organizations, to create, enhance, or evaluate these types of treatment programs. Importantly, the bill requires any evaluation of a program funded by the grants to be designed to determine if the program qualifies as a "promising, supported, or well-supported" practice under the Family First Prevention Services Act, which provides federal funding for evidence-based prevention services. The bill authorizes $20 million in funding for this purpose from 2019 to 2023.
