Funding Information

- Estimated Annual Award Maximum: $300,000
- The funding cycle for this program announcement begins April 1, 2024, or later depending on when contracts are finalized, and ends on March 31, 2028.
Eligible Projects
This RFP will fund projects that address the intersecting issues of homelessness and overdose risk. The hubs should offer services in locations where people experiencing homelessness who use drugs are likely to spend time (e.g., day centers, homeless shelters, safe harbor programs, encampments, public libraries, or transit stations). The locations do not need to be spaces exclusively for people experiencing homelessness, but they should be spaces where many people are likely to be homeless. The hubs can also support formerly homeless people in supportive housing.
Eligibility Criteria
- Eligible applicants include community-based organizations, community health centers, federally qualified health centers, tribal governments, faith-based organizations, educational institutions, county governments/community health boards, and any other public or private non-profit, not for-profit, and for-profit organizations.
- Applicants could be homelessness or housing assistance providers interested in enhancing their overdose prevention services or health care and harm reduction providers interested in expanding their housing capacity.
