PHOENIX, AZ — Attorney General Kris Mayes announced Tuesday the creation of a $6 million grant program to aid Tribal Nations impacted by fraudulent practices in sober living homes. The initiative, funded through the Anti-Racketeering Revolving Fund, is designed to assist communities affected by behavioral healthcare fraud involving the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS).
Addressing the Impact of Fraud
“Every community deserves care they can trust,” Attorney General Mayes said. “This funding will help Tribal Nations provide much-needed support for individuals impacted by the fraudulent sober living home scandal. My office remains committed to holding those responsible accountable and ensuring justice for Arizona’s vulnerable communities.”
The program, named the Sober Living Home Support Program, will offer grants of up to $500,000 to assist Tribal Nations in addressing the aftermath of fraudulent practices. Funds can be used for compensating victims, providing remediation, and developing supportive housing and community programs to aid recovery efforts.
Grant Application Details
Eligible Tribal Nations can apply for the grants through the State of Arizona’s grant portal. Applications must be submitted by January 31, 2025. Proposals should focus on providing direct assistance, economic relief, and community-based recovery initiatives for individuals harmed by sober living home fraud.
This initiative underscores Attorney General Mayes’ commitment to rebuilding trust and offering tangible solutions to the damage caused by predatory practices.
A Path Toward Healing
The grant program reflects a broader effort to address the economic and social harm suffered by Tribal Nations. It also reinforces the state’s focus on ensuring the integrity of healthcare systems while supporting those affected by systemic fraud.
