This inquiry may be emailed to Tracey.Loggins@Illinois.gov .The letter should highlight the following:

- Provider's ability to deliver services using evidence based models.
- Provider's history in delivering substance use disorder treatment and other related services.
Responses should be brief and the letter should not exceed more than five pages, single-spaced on standard 8.5 x 11 paper. Each letter of inquiry will be reviewed on its own merit and a response will be issued regardless of whether or not funding is available or awarded.
