The Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) announced the availability of $7 million in funding for entities to provide pregnancy support services or make referrals to address the needs of pregnant and postpartum women with substance use disorder (SUD).

“We are deeply committed to the health and well-being of mothers and children across the commonwealth,” said DDAP Secretary Jen Smith. “Meeting the needs of this vulnerable population requires a collaborative approach across the health care system, and this funding will help assure that they are directly connected with services to help them and their newborn or soon-to-be newborn thrive.”

All applications are to be submitted electronically no later than noon on Tuesday, July 13, 2021.
