Request for Applications Opioid Abatement Settlement Funding

Agencies and organizations are encouraged to apply for funding through Seneca County Opioid Settlement Fund Committee (“OSFC”) for programs or proposals to address harm reduction, recovery, housing, treatment, priority populations, prevention, transportation, research, and public awareness related to the use and misuse of prescribed and non-prescribed opioids in the community.

Funding for opioid programs and proposals (“Opioid Funding”) originates from the NYS Office of the Attorney General, or other opioid settlement funding sources. Opioid Funding (1) may be available for multiple years but will require an annual funding proposal/request be submitted each year as funding may vary from year to year, (2) cannot be used to supplant or duplicate other funding streams, (3) is available to community-based organizations, and (4) does not require OASAS licensure/certification.

Proposals will be accepted and reviewed as received, and awards may be made on a rolling basis, dependent on the availability of funds.
