Prevention Resource Center To Make Cuts
WEST VIRGINIA....
The Prevention Resource Center that coordinates West Virginia's efforts to prevent drug and alcohol abuse will lay off about a dozen people, roughly a third of its staff, when it loses about half of its funding in October. About half of the center's $3 million annual budget comes from a federal grant that helps states fund substance abuse treatment and prevention services. That money goes through the state's Bureau for Behavioral Health and Health Facilities. Earlier this year, DHHR officials decided to open the grant up for bid to various groups around the state, rather than awarding it all to the center.
