Summary: This resource is for states that are interested in the benefits of braided funding for the provision of substance use disorder (SUD) services (including tobacco treatment services).
Braided funding models are those that use one or more sources of funding in a coordinated fashion to support a single individual or program. The different sources retain their specific spending requirements and are kept separate for reporting purposes.
This guidance includes case studies from eight U.S. states (Arizona, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Ohio, New Mexico, New York and Nevada) to illustrate how states and programs use braided funding to address the challenges associated with combining multiple SUD funding sources.
