Request for Applications Opioid Abatement Settlement Funding

This funding opportunity is offered by the Seneca County Opioid Settlement Fund Committee to support programs and proposals aimed at addressing various aspects of opioid misuse and its community impact, including harm reduction, recovery, housing, treatment, prevention, transportation, research, and public awareness. The funding, sourced from the NYS Office of the Attorney General and other settlement funds, is available to community-based organizations in Seneca County and may be awarded for multiple years, contingent upon annual proposals. The funds cannot be used to replace existing funding sources or duplicate efforts and do not require OASAS licensure or certification. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, with awards made depending on available funds, and the deadline for submission is January 6, 2025. The contract, managed by the Seneca County Industrial Development Agency, involves a project size estimated between one million and five million dollars. Interested organizations should submit proposals by the specified deadline, with the contract term to be determined. The program emphasizes supporting initiatives that align with the goals of opioid harm reduction and community health improvement, and there is no set-aside for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. The primary contact for inquiries is Wendy Cottrell, the Confidential Secretary to the County Manager. More details and application information can be accessed through the provided online link.
