Opioid Remediation Grant Opportunities

July 17, 2024

The Franklin County Commissioners announced that grants are available to support projects and initiatives to combat the ongoing opioid epidemic. Money for these grants, to be administered by Franklin/Fulton Drug and Alcohol, comes from Franklin County’s allotment from two nationwide settlements with drug manufacturers and distributors.

Four separate grant opportunities are available to Franklin County organizations and other entities for prevention programs and abatement strategies to stem future opioid use across the county. Based on recommendations of the county’s opioid settlement steering committee, the grants focus on each of the following areas:

• Prevention programs to prevent the misuse of opioids;
• Harm reduction to prevent overdose deaths and other harms;
• Expansion of warm hand-off programs, recovery services and support of people in treatment and recovery; and
• Efforts to address the needs of pregnant or parenting women and their families, including babies with neonatal abstinence syndrome

Each grant application outlines specific eligible uses based on the parameters of the national settlements. The applications also detail recommended grant amounts as well as the application timeline.
