Grant Trends: Insights from Dr. William Medendorp
Recent trends in federal grants, such as those from SAMHSA, show a shift toward larger, multi-year awards to states rather than individual nonprofits. Grants are now released in multi-year cohorts, with gaps of 3 or more years between opportunities. As a result, nonprofits must seek alternative funding sources. Successful organizations share three key strategies:
Diversification: They apply to a wider range of federal agencies to ensure consistent funding. Quick action: They prioritize timely applications when grants become available, recognizing the long intervals between releases. Adaptability: They adjust their service models to meet grant requirements, expanding access to more opportunities.

A comprehensive report of lasting recovery, stability, and reduced recidivism
Drug courts are well-documented for breaking the cycle of repeat offenses and equipping participants with the structure and tools for a fresh start, free from substance abuse. REA completed a comprehensive final assessment of the 61st District Court Adult Drug Court that has achieved remarkable success in helping individuals break free from the cycle of substance abuse and criminal behavior and stands out for consistently producing exceptional results. Spanning a decade of outcomes, the results were exemplary:
Significant progress on program goals and objectives over the last 5 years.
A 70% graduation rate over the last 5 years.
Graduates show significant increases in housing and employment. A total of 87% of graduates report employment at discharge. 100% of graduates report stable housing at discharge.
A model of recidivism shows program graduates over the last 5 years have roughly half as many recidivism events as matched nonparticipants.
Program graduates over the last 10 years show half the recidivism of matched nonparticipants, indicating a strong positive impact of program graduation.
A range of factors contributed to the program’s success, including recovery housing, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). By expanding services and allowing more time for treatment completion, participant outcomes have significantly improved over the past decade.
