WASHINGTON D.C. — U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), the lead Democrat on the Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee, announced with U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) and U.S. Reps. Annie Kuster (D-N.H.) and Chris Pappas (D-N.H.) that the Department of Justice awarded $1,215,137 to the New Hampshire Department of Justice in support of efforts to combat the substance use disorder epidemic. Specifically, the funding will be used to tackle recidivism among Granite Staters struggling with substance use disorder and enhance the state’s prescription drug monitoring system.
Of the funds listed, $493,000 was awarded through the DOJ’s Adult Drug Court and Veterans Treatment Court Discretionary Grant Program, which aims to reduce recidivism and substance abuse through the creation and expansion of adult drug courts.
