2. While more jobs are needed, most must solve their alcohol problem before they can be productive and dependable workers. Without a solution, the people will continue dependence on welfare, food stamps, the permanent fund, and other social service assistance in a never-ending circle. 3. Social and health services are available in each community from a variety of state or federal programs. One could say the social and health needs of the communities are being met, but there is an underlying, pervasive, and totally destructive problem with alcohol and other drugs in each targeted village. The communities suffer terribly from the effects of alcohol and other drug problems. There is an alarmingly high number of violent deaths due to family violence, accidents, or suicide in the area. 4. Community veakness can be summed up in two words alcohol problems. Each village has strengths, however. There is generally a core of fairly well educated people in each community and often there are strong, intelligent, and concerned leaders. Often there is a community Alcohol Task Force, and most communities have officially banned the importation and sale of alcoholic beverages. School administrators have demonstrated a concern for healthy community life. Most villages have an active native council. 5. Pneuma's program enhances these strengths, providing a network of concerned and informed individuals and families that can positively influence the entire community's attitude toward alcohol. 1) Prorate administrative costs, including indirect costs, in figuring service component costs.
