HHS Announces Grant Funding Opportunities to Support State and Tribal Opioid Response

With an estimated 105,000 overdose deaths during the 12 month period that ended in October 2021, the highest number recorded in a such a period, strategies to address opioid addiction and other substance use disorders are more critical than ever.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced a State Opioid Response (SOR) grant funding opportunity that will provide nearly $1.5 billion to states and territories to help address this epidemic. Along with the recently announced Tribal Opioid Response grant funding opportunity, the SOR program is part of the HHS Overdose Prevention Strategy released last October. Click below for more details about each grant.
