A description of what is needed, in the opinion of the entity, in order to improve the entity’s ability to meet the addiction treatment needs of the communities served by that entity. Based on the identified needs of the communities served, a description of unmet needs and inadequate services and how such needs and services could be better addressed through additional Federal, State, or local government resources or funding to treat addiction to methamphetamine, crack cocaine, other types of cocaine, heroin, opioids, and other commonly abused drugs.
