    Our Funding

    Project NaviGAte has a fully funded five year mission to empower community services through a grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

    This grant allows for connecting community organizations and disseminating research to improve prevention and treatment of trauma, HIV, and substance misuse with a focus on increasing service awareness, access, and utilization for ethnic minority communities in Georgia, and is overseen by Dr. Isha Metzger, Director, The EMPOWER Lab.
