State Matching Grant Program for the Opioid Settlement
Thursday, February 23, 2023
The State has created a matching grant program for the prevention and treatment of opioid addiction. The deadline to apply for the grant is February 28, 2023. The County is the responsible entity for the submittal of the grant application. At a previous meeting, the Commissioners assigned Drug Free Montgomery County (DFMC) the responsibility of developing a plan for the use of the funds from the opioid settlement.  As part of this responsibility, DFMC established a process to review potential grant applications from local drug treatment organizations for the State matching grant program. The DFMC will review the applications over the weekend prior to the February 27, 2023 meeting of the Commissioners. They will present their recommendation to the Commissioners at their February 27, 2023 meeting. The recommendation will identify which grant applications should be submitted to the State on behalf of the County.
