PHOENIX — Attorney General Kris Mayes announced a $6 million grant program designed to help Tribal Nations impacted by fraudulent sober living practices.
The program is funded by the Anti-Racketeering Revolving Fund and will provide assistance to communities impacted by fraud involving 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 provide grants of up to $500,000 for Tribal Nations to provide housing and compensation for those impacted by fraud. Mayes' office says the goal of these grants is to mitigate the economic impact of these instances of fraud.
Eligible Tribal Nations can submit proposals by Jan. 31, 2025 for review.
