 16 for any federal, state, corporate, or other grant funding that may be
 17 available to implement such substance use recovery housing program.
 18 Each institution shall submit a plan for such substance use recovery
 19 housing program to the office of higher education to be reviewed and
 20 approved by the office of higher education, the office of addiction
 21 services and supports, and the office of mental health. Such plan shall
 22 be submitted within one year of the effective date of this subdivision.
